The evasions involved in this worldwide pretense are astonishing. Thank you for calling them what they are, Kiyah.

You speak as if history began on October 7. You call Israel a beacon of liberty but never mention the decades of occupation, the settlement expansion, or the blockade that has suffocated Gaza since 2007. You write about Hamas as if it appeared out of nowhere, but ignore the fact that Palestinians have lived for generations under military rule, displacement, and daily humiliation.

You erase the Nakba, the checkpoints, the home demolitions, and the walls that cut villages apart. You talk about self-defense without ever acknowledging what it means to live without a state, without rights, and without freedom of movement. You condemn Palestinian violence but stay silent about the structural violence that made it inevitable.

You mistake the consequence for the cause. This is why your article reads as propaganda rather than understanding. Until you recognize the history that created the anger and despair you now dismiss, you are not describing reality, you are denying it.
