Comment on In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"?
bababatman@lemmy.world 11 months agoThe IDF are a colonial occupying army. I think the Palestinians are responding to them the way the entire rest of the planet would.
Face it, team Israel is deep in the toilet, stinking of shit and sewage, and the smell ain’t never coming out. Not in this life time nor in the next.
Called karma, dude.

Theyre neither colonial nor occupying. They’re invading in response to a foreign government massacring their people. The reason for the massacre was to force Israel to respond and thus damage Israel’s normalization of diplomacy with Saudi Arabia.
Hamas isn’t fighting off colonial oppressors. They are engaging in politically motivated terror strikes designed to weaken the standing of a people they want to exterminate, at the cost of the lives of their civilians.

If they aren’t occupiers…
Why doesn’t Gaza have an airport? (it was destroyed in 2002 and not allowed to rebuild)
What happens when Gazan’s go too far off the coast? (they get shot)
What happens when they go past the border wall? (they get shot)
But sure, maybe you like the term “under seige” better? Is that more accurate for you?

So is Egypt occupying Gaza? They’re involved in the blockade.
