Well put, but also when more than 40% of the population is under 14 and the median age of the country is less than 20 years old, every hospital is a children’s hospital.
Word. If we assume that most Palestinian troops are younger than 25 then most of them have likely never been outside Gaza, certainly not at a time they could remember.
Yeah I just… while I’m not one of the people that’s like "hell yeah hamas kill the kkkolonizers* ", I mean the US and Israel picked them and supported them because of how bad they are. But whenever I see a Hamas or other Palestinian militant group, regardless of how right wing they are, I can’t help but think these are literally baby prisoners, these are the actual babies that survived being born and raised in a literal concentration camp
There’s a video where they bust through the fence and start walking and half of them just start crying. Like what the fuck, it’s so fucked up
There is some tragedy with the settlers. When the Arab states exiled and robbed their Jewish populations after the declaration of Israel, they all ended up fleeing to Israel because no one else would take them. And Israel didn’t want them, so after trapping them in refugee camps for years it sent many of them out to the frontiers to be, pardon the term, human shields between the Arabs and the European core. Some, certainly not all, settlers are the children of people exiled from their homes due to the actions of European colonizers, then sent off to be colonial meat-shields by those same European colonizers. That’s got to result in some kind of fucked up attitude towards the world, and I doubt a lot of those people ever really had much of a chance to be normal.
We were talking somewhere else on hexbear about how none of these people were born monsters; it had to be beaten in to them to hate and want to hurt people. The first victims of imperialism, colonialism, apartheid, whatever, are the oppressor’s own children, who have to be beaten in to the shape of oppressors before they can be turned against the oppressed.
Lol. The Europeans even forced a name on them. “Mizrahi”. Easterners. Racialized on their arrival in to the newly declared ethnostate, and immediately weaponized in the same fashion as many other racialized groups had been before.
