Except one is an occupier, the other the occupied.
With all due respect - I’m done debating this - there’s no both sides since 1948 (really since 1917 and Balfour).

You’re so right - 10% of the US population works for a nonprofit, for less pay and lesser benefits and perks. All to serve their fellow communities and citizens.

I know 700,000 settlers stole Palestinian land. I know ~ 1 million Palestinians were jailed. I know there are 30 different laws for Arabs vs Israelis. I know the blockade on Gaza since 2005 and the walls around it. Israel controls the air, sea, water, electricity. It’s a prison. Open your mind.

End the occupation/ apartheid and daily oppression and you may get peace. Like South Africa (mostly) did. If you don’t, no chance of peace. Zero.

You are correct. It’s also worth noting that the Bush admin conspired with Fatah in a coup against Hamas, absolutely crushing any chance of stability, democratic rule and peace in Gaza.

With all due respect - this was a sham trial ordered by Sharon.
Even fmr PM Ehud Barak said so.

“Have you lost your mind? What’s the story with Barghouti? … what’s really missing in his résumé is direct affiliation with terrorism.” (Full quote w/in article)

Making Marwan Barghouti a terrorist

Marking Marwan Barghouti as a ‘terrorist’ is very important for Israel and the New York Times, too. The Times did not impose such standards when it was celebrating Nelson Mandela.

I’m not convinced he’s guilty after watching this documentary. I mean, can you call it a fair trial when the judge called him a terrorist before it even started?

RIP D'Angelo, the greatest singer since Marvin departed. Who took the grit & attitude of hip-hop & alchemized it into angelic voodoo. He condensed the human condition - sex, suffering, addiction, love, oppression - into pure transcendence. A comet emitting blinding light & soul.

Or maybe these special blends of Israeli “peace” ?

A headline stating that he was Israeli government tortured children by keeping them in cages

A headline stating that Israeli drones lower Palestinians with crying children record recordings, then shoot them

A BBC headline stating that the IDF will appeal a ruling banning the use of Palestinian human shields in Israel from 2005

A newspaper article headline quoting Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, that Jews were justified in using terrorism to win statehood, but the Palestinians are not

People who tried to go to their homes in the east of Gaza City and in southern Khan Younis were shot and killed by Israeli troops. At least nine Palestinians were killed despite the ceasefire.

My god lady, wake up. These are sourced and footnoted to original sources. IDF files, actual quotes written by Israelis and Jews like Benny Morris, Ilan Pappe, Norm Finkelstein and Palestinian scholars like Rashid Khalidi … Seymour
Hersh, Ta- Nehisi Coates. But go ahead, believe Bibi and Smotrich.

Israel is a Eurocolonial crime scene masquerading as a democracy. How do I know this?
It’s written in their own diaries, interviews, government documents and
statements.
You can read it in any of these books, many written by Israeli authors.
