Palestinian groups that fight back against Israel are often smeared as terrorists and Palestinian resistance in general is delegitimized as breaking the law. This unfair and vile depiction basically says that Palestinians have no right to fight back and Israeli abuse of Palestinians is justified. Well, I hope more people can take a look at Noam Chomsky's take on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnObJG-6J0w. Chomsky is a Jew who almost 100 years old now and lived during the Holocaust. He focuses mostly on non-Jewish related matters, but recently he still found the time to comment on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
If you don't understand that Palestinians voted in terrorists as their government, I can't help you.
They voted in their resistance movement. You need to watch the video.
No they voted in HAMAS, which are literal terrorists. Did you forget October already? That's just ONE instance.
Fucking terrorist sympathizers
People aren’t falling for that silencing tactic anymore honey
Well said. The mainstream in the US wants to equate support for Palestinians with support for terrorism. But it entirely sidesteps the fact that support for Israel is support of years of ethnic cleansing and land theft. The status quo before October 7 was a slow speed genocide. Surely a people has a right to resist that.
Let’s say Israel obliterates Gaza (and Palestine). Do y’all think there’s going to be peace forever after this action? Is everyone going to cheer and say Israel did the right thing by killing everyone (the innocent and bad people)?
Let's say israel takes control of Gaza and installs a puppet government with the help of its arab allies that changes the palestinian school curriculum to stop teaching jewish genocide to primary school children, then yeah, I think the problem will get solved in 30 years. And yeah, that's the quickest possible resolution if the israeli and the arab governments are ready to do it. Any solutions that give a victory to islamism are going to backfire in the most spectacularly predictable ways. If people still have their heads in the sand about islamic teachings about genocide then it's their fault not anyone else's.

He lived in America during the Holocaust, so he could afford luxury beliefs.
No True Scotsman right there.
"he could afford luxuries", you say? Yes, unlike the Holocaust survivors living in Israel who cannot afford to buy food because Holocaust survivors in Israel are disproportionately poor. FACT: One-third of Israeli Holocaust survivors live in poverty. If you think Israel was created "to help Jews who survived the Holocaust," then you incredible naive. Netanyahu and all the maniac Zionists in Israel like Ben-Gvir (who literally has a picture of a mass-murderer Kopel Goldstein hanging on his wall who killed 25 innocent people) do NOT care about Holocaust survivors. Israel cynically references the Holocaust in order to gain sympathy, but they don't really care about its victims.
Chomsky has always been anti-American and a self-hating Jew. He isn’t objective so I don’t find any value in his opinion. It is possible for HAMAS to be a terrorist organization, and the Israeli government to go way overboard in their response to terrorism. Not everything is right vs wrong. More of us needs to find it possible to condemn HAMAS, and condemn the Israeli government. They are both in the wrong here. Israeli or Palestinian -innocent civilians must not be hurt. I completely understand and agree with the Israeli argument that HAMAS is using civilians as human shields, but killing everyone indiscriminately isn’t acceptable, nor is it a solution.
Why do you say that Hamas is a terrorist organization instead of saying that Hamas went way overboard in its response to occupation? I notice that you use something like the latter when describing Israel. In your mind, you are whitewashing and pretending not to see the Israeli occupation and as a result you think that Palestinians have no right to resist it. Imagine talking about Nat Turner's Rebellion as an act of terrorism because you refuse to recognize that they were rebelling against slavery. Or imagine condemning Spartacus for terrorism against the Romans.
Because HAMAS is a terrorist organization. And Israel is a state. Why? Because HAMAS uses terror to assert their political agenda, and Israel has been recognized as a state by 163 other states since UN Resolution 181. Whether you like these or not, these are facts and should explain why the comparison you make is irrelevant, and is nothing but a red herring. Thanks for explaining to me what’s in my mind though.
don’t argue with this fake chinese profile..he/she is a jihadii buslim in disguise. Based on our experience, bushlims always start a war and once opponent beat the living ghost out of them , they start crying crocodile tears to support their armed militants..don’t fall for this trap ! Bomb the f out of Hamas ..palestinians were rejoicing the dead bodies of raped jewish girls , they deserve the fate they got !
Don’t believe a comment that conflates an entire group of people with a terrorist group and generalized them as people with hate Flagged you for racism, and hate speech.
You live by the sword , you die by the sword. Can't attack, get your asses handed to you and then cry about it later. Issue is that the Arabs of the region do not want a 2 state solution , they want all of Israel. Too stupid to negotiate , too weak to fight head on .......hence " resistance". War can end today if the resistance movement releases the hostages, lay down their arms and surrender the resistance fighters who committed crimes i.e. killing , raping civilians.
"Chomsky is a Jew who almost 100 years old now and lived during the Holocaust. He focuses mostly on non-Jewish related matters, but recently he still found the time to comment on the Israel-Palestine conflict." Weird description of Chomsky in this context Yes he is Jewish, but doesn't practice the religion at all and is known to be like an atheist (he would probably object to any label though; but the important part here is no connection to Judaism) He did live during the time of the Holocaust, but as he was born and raised halfway around the world in the US, he was not personally affected at all. The only connection I know about Chomsky and the Holocaust is a famous situation where he defended a French intellectual who was a Holocaust denier, citing free speech and saying he was merely privately questioning the gas chambers He does spend most of his time on non-Jewish matters, as anyone who isn't a professional Rabbi would similarly be doing While I don't know his personal schedule, he has not shied away from making his opinions known about Israel, from before the Palestinians were called the Palestinians. He has always been against the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine. He of course has many other strong opinions about all kinds of other international geopolitical issues So no, he isn't just a busy Jewish scholar who survived during the Holocaust, who finally took the time in this situation to speak out on Israel. It's fine for people to hear his opinion, but there's no need to mislead his background
"Yes he is Jewish, but doesn't practice the religion at all and is known to be like an atheist" You should really educate yourself. Jewish atheism is incredibly common. There's a whole wikipedia article you can read more about it on: "Even among Jews by religion, 55% say being Jewish is mainly a matter of ancestry and culture, while 66% say it is not necessary to believe in God to be Jewish."
I didn't claim it isn't common for Jews to be atheist -- I'm well aware of it actually The point I am making is that if you want to call out a person who has an opinion that is against the mainstream view of that particular religion, it's not right to point out that person's religion when he's effectively disavowed the religion Chomsky can speak representing himself, for sure. And as someone who was born Jewish but doesn't practice, yes. But it's downright misleading to simply call him a Jew who has this opinion. (Let alone someone who lived through the Holocaust, which I guess technically he lives during the time but is absolutely not a Holocaust survivor)
He is a nazi.. oh wait, nvm.
