I don’t usually use ‘evil’ to describe things but I don’t know any other word to describe settler states and their tendency to massacre and torment people they stole their land from and gleefully brag about all the horrific atrocities they’ve committed/want to commit. Never before have I seen a group people that take more joy in the suffering of others than the kinds of people that want to wipe out entire societies and claim their land for their own.
This is the kinda shit where if you write villains that act exactly like this people will slam you for bad or unrealistic writing, but no, it would actually be perfectly in line with reality all things considered.
EDIT: ps I know me not good at writing things. Wish I can write my thoughts on this better, but I can’t really get it into right now
They can’t give an inch. The settler state is a Jenga Tower of lies and violence that could be toppled if too many pieces are removed. So it must be constantly reinforced with more and more lies, more and more violence.
A large part of the reason Rabin was assassinated back in the 90s is because he was actually ordering the IDF to remove settlers from newly occupied land. The more enthusiastic wing of the Zionists, including Ben Gvir (who vandalized Rabin’s car shortly before Rabin was assassinated) and Bibi denounced him as a traitor among other, harsher words. That was probably the last real chance at anything resembling peace.
I like that analogy
