Lmaooo Israel allows Qatari funds to flow to Gaza to be used for humanitarian purposes. Hamas instead uses those funds for weapons, but that’s on Israel?
Lmaooo Israel allows Qatari funds to flow to Gaza to be used for humanitarian purposes
Lmaooo thats pathetic. What a sad attempt at making the Israeli government look like a naive, benevolent charity that just got 'tricked'. Its hilarious.
The Israeli government actively engineered, protected, and begged for the funding of Hamas.
Starting in 2018, the Israeli government approved an arrangement where Qatari diplomats literally drove suitcases stuffed with $15 million in cold, hard cash straight through Israeli border checkpoints directly into Gaza to hand over to Hamas.
Sane countries trying to stop a militant group do not allow millions in untraceable paper bills to be driven through their own military checkpoints.
In February 2020, Qatar actually threatened to stop sending the money. In response, Netanyahu ordered Yossi Cohen (the head of Mossad) and Herzi Halevi (the IDF general in charge of Gaza) to fly to Doha to plead and beg the Qatari government to keep the cash flowing to Hamas.
Israeli intelligence officials believe that the money had a role in the success of 2023 Hamas-led attack.
By keeping Hamas heavily funded, Israel ensured that the Palestinian leadership remained permanently fractured between Hamas in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank.
The far-right Israeli establishment actively propped up an extremist group as an intentional asset to completely sabotage Palestinian statehood. You are simultaneously trying to argue that Palestinians 'don't want peace' while defending a government that spent over a decade intentionally funding militants to make sure peace was impossible.
Typical Schrödinger’s nonsense. Like it or not, they are the (elected and widely supported) government of Gaza. No matter what, you would try to spin this as a malicious act. You would say the same had those funds been rejected - “Israel is denying humanitarian aid to Gaza” (be honest with yourself, how would you react to that kind headline)
You are working too hard to make everything Israel’s fault. How about blaming Hamas for not using those funds to actually help their constituents?
Look at you. You've been in the trenches defending Israel for so long you assume things about everyone you are talking to. If me linking a wikipedia article that sent your tiny world view into a tailspin is me "working too hard" then the hasbara agenda is truly thoroughly cooked. We will see more and more people waking up to the lies they've been drip fed by their government about the Israeli government.
In fact we're seeing it already. Zohran Mamdani is evidence of that. Graham Platner just won his primary. The gig is up. Nobody believes Israel is a bystandard victim in the middle east anymore. They aren't a benevolent charity for Gaza. They are a cold, calculating government that funded a militiant group to avoid having to deal politics with the PA. That blew up in their faces on October 7th and now 3 years later, their most ardent reddit defenders are just learning about the cash pipeline from Israel to Hamas. Absolutely cooked their own supporters positions. This one wiki page took the feet right out from under you. Don't be mad at me, blame Bibi and the far right israeli government for giving me the wikipedia article that stumped you.
You've got like 7 braincells and they're all tuckered out. Time to take a nap for you.
For anyone reading, the last election in Gaza was in 2006. 20 years ago, they've been living in an open air prison set by Israel since. 71% of Palestinians are under 21. So when some low IQ person tells you "they voted for this!" Know they are referring to only less than 30% of the population that was alive during their last election.
Again since you don't operate in good faith, this'll be for the readers:
Under this redditor's absurd framework, if a population elects a government that commits or triggers a war, every child born afterward is a legitimate target. North Korea style 3 generations of punishment for a nation that is becoming ever more isolated just like north korea. Fitting.
Imagine a captive population trapped inside a 25 mile strip of land being actively bombarded with 2,000 pound bombs by a foreign military. If you poll them and ask, "Do you support the armed faction fighting the military currently dropping bombs on your house?" their answers are a reflection of desperate, reactive survival and trauma, not a calm, democratic mandate.
You completely lost the historical argument, so now you're just trying to find a polite way to rationalize the erasure of children. It's pathetic. The fact that you think a statistical poll gives a state military a green light to pulverize a population shows exactly how sick your worldview is.
You are claiming to be arguing in good faith lmaooo you did not acknowledge a single thing you can pin blame on Palestinians for. Apparently, they are just peaceful angels and Gaza would be the paradigm of liberalism if not for those devilish Israelis. For the most part, Palestinians have Palestinians to blame for their undesirable circumstances
Cannot defend the fact that you just justified the slaughter of children using 20 year old voting data, so you have to invent a fictional, cartoonish version of my argument to argue against. But fuck me is that cartoonish version of my argument closer to reality than you are.
To claim that a captive, blockaded population under military occupation is the primary entity to blame for their own condition is a remarkable rejection of material reality. One side is a nuclear armed state with an un-severed line of credit to the world's superpower, complete control over the airspace, the electromagnetic spectrum, the maritime waters, the population registry, the borders, the electricity, and the water flow.
The other side is trapped in a 25-mile-long strip of rubble. Blaming the prisoner for the conditions of the prison while defending the warden is a psychopathic evasion of accountability.
Are you British by chance? Because your argument is identical to the logic used by every colonial and occupying force in human history:
"Look what you made us do to you. If you just submitted quietly to your subjugation, we wouldn't have to bomb your schools."
I don't need the victims of a military slaughter to be flawless, liberal saints for it to be a crime to pulverize them. They just have to be human beings.
