You do realize the United States didn’t start that war. They’ve done a lot to stabilize the region and they have tried to solve the issue both before and after the war.
You try and negotiate a deal between Israel and Palestine it’s not an easy task.
You do realize that we supplied their weapons?!
I never said they started the war. I said they support genocide and apartheid (and I should have added occupation). Which they do. You can argue all you like whether their reasons for doing it are good or bad, but the simple fact of the matter is that in a bipartisan way they support Apartheid Israel and its policies for genocide and occupation. That’s just factual.
I was taking aim at the evil influence to the region. The Americans and Israeli didn’t start the war. They have been working to build ties and alliances to promote regional stability. There are Iranian proxy groups that are destabilizing the region, these people are to blame for the war and destabilizing the region. You cannot support these groups.
I understand people get hurt in war but negotiations with these groups is going terribly. They have insane demands and are completely delusional. You would never accept a terrorist group doing an attack on your country without repercussions.
Malaka, I’m Greek. Better ask what I’d do if my country was occupied, like the Israelis occupy Palestine. My ancestors did worse to the Ottomans after 400 years of occupation and subjugation than what Hamas did to the Israelis after 80.
We understand what occupation means and what it does to a people. Same reason why the Irish support the Palestinians. And we understand that the “stability” you talk of reeks of Nakba, Apartheid, Occupation and Genocide.
Edit: toned down the chest thumping
I’m curious what you suggest the US should do to rectify your criticisms? Do you advocate for the US to take a completely hands-off approach, withdrawing all presence and funding in the area?
The US should listen to Daniel Levy, former negotiator for Israel under Ehud Barak. Look for good interviews and talks online.
That’s, not really what I asked. You have an opportunity here to argue publicly for a position you believe in passionately, and are criticizing others for not holding… and you pass it off to me?
Why bother to preach if you’re not willing to teach? Or at least provide a link or two.
Good point.
Here is who Daniel Levy is:
Here are some links:
My rationale for focusing on Levy is that this is a person who has first-hand experience with Israeli politics, with the Oslo process, engages with the anti-apartheid Palestinian, Israeli and Western left, and is knowledgeable of US, British and Jewish diaspora politics. His vision for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is focused in a dignified, equitable peace through a two-state solution, grounded in international law and mutual respect for the rights of all individuals involved.
In a world where reason, compassion and universal human rights were the rule, Daniel’s approach would be the absolute minimum baseline for any discussion about a resolution. There is objectively nothing unreasonable or radical in his vision. But in this timeline? He’s labelled an unreasonable far-left extremist, and only consistently platformed by the likes of DemocracyNow and Novara.
So, there. He also happens to have a velvety radio voice, so, enjoy :)
