Succinctly describing the difference of violence by the #oppressor and the #oppressed : youtu.be/PniL3avrhNI?si=zQGebh

#israel does not get to claim self defence against #palestinians in #gaza after decades of #occupation and #apartheid. One is a #cause and the other an #effect. One side has the power to cease #violence but chooses to subjugate and abuse. Stop defending #genocide and start accounting with the history of #colonial #settler projects.

Yes, they are both bad, and your point is what?

>> Gaza is being flattened in a disproportionate response which is precisely why Hamas launched the attacks on Oct 7 to begin with

You have this exactly BACKWARD.

#Gaza being flattened is not the #cause of #Hamas attacks of #Oct7. It is the #effect.

>> The security state kills peoples families

But only after #terrorists in Hamas kill people's families.

No Oct7 => No BS from you

The reason why the above toot concentrates on the folly of keeping a hybrid #wolfdog as a family pet, rather than the tragedy of the infant's death, is because highlighting the resulting tragedy would suppress the #cause, and steer attention to the #effect instead.

To solve a problem, or to prevent its recurrence, one must FIRST identify BOTH #causeAndEffect, instead of just condemning the effect.

A story that laments "deadliest military campaign against #Palestinians since #Nakba" without mentioning #Hamas attacks on #Israel as "the bloodiest day for #Jews since the #Holocaust" is not looking at the #cause of Palestinian suffering.

It is only looking at the #effect.

A story that reports civilian deaths in #IDF attempt to "assassinate" [sic] a "TOP Hamas #military commander" without denouncing Hamas use of civilians as #humanShields is mixing #causeAndEffect.
