Sometimes I wonder what those who find it within themselves to support a cult of death, as the Palestinians undeniably are, are smoking. Their ideology refuses to let them acknowledge the facts. How can they be blind to the stunning difference between free societies and oppressive societies that treat women and minorities like dirt? They have tunnel vision. They are unable to zoom out and see the issue in perspective as Kiyah has so clearly done. They get lost in details and quote cherry picked facts, anecdotal evidence and indulge in special pleading. Leftist ideology corrupts the mind just as much as religion.
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.
The advocates of the two-state delusion firmly have no idea what genuine nationalism looks like. If there was any concern for the people of Gaza, why not advocate for a Gaza Republic at peace with Israel? But it does not exist. Egypt and Jordan made it clear: they do not want these unruly “occupied territories”, so how can any nationalism be claimed?
The evasions involved in this worldwide pretense are astonishing. Thank you for calling them what they are, Kiyah.

The IDF is fighting a war of genocide not "survival". If anyone should be eliminated its them..
