What is worse than genocide? [1]

What is worse than killing 65,000 people in a genocide, over 50,000 of them children and women? Innocents in every way we use that word. It is committing that genocide so that a nation, along with a handful of oligarchs, can build hotels and golf resorts where the deceased once lived.

Think about everything that’s happened over the last year, and think about all the people who warned this exact thing would happen. We’ve been told time and time again this was all about Israeli expansion, that Gaza would get turned into a parking lot, and that Israel would in the end build a Mediterranean water-front heaven, followed by a lot of cheaper Israeli settlements behind those hotels and resorts. All built on the bones and the graveyards of the indigenous.

And now we’re here. Netanyahu and Trump are behind it. Israelis are behind it. Only the world still isn’t. But we now know, with a 100% degree of confidence, that indeed, those people who said this would happen, were the only ones who were right. Everyone who supported Israeli actions lied to us.

So, I’m just wondering how some people here feel about this now. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this was all about Israeli safety and security, and getting the hostages back (at some point in the future… eventually). I’ve even been called names here, for nothing more than being able to see what these people couldn’t see for themselves. Or could they?

How do you feel now? How do feel knowing you were so naïve, you could not only not see through the genocide, but you turned against your own Americans who were only trying to help you see reason? You turned against the people who were just trying to uphold American values. Does it feel good now? You feel all warm and gooey inside knowing you supported ethnic cleansing for nothing more than for the rich to get richer, and the poor to get poorer?

I am trying to piss you off here. I am trying to be confrontational… because you fucking deserve it. If reason can’t get through to you, then I’m going to expose you and piss you off. Once again, because you deserve it.

When we called this ethnic cleansing, you called us names. When we pointed out Israeli snipers killing Christians inside churches in Israel was also ethnic cleansing, and that it showed the overall mentality of this conflict, you called us names again. When we pointed out destroying all schools, all hospitals, and all universities was not done so people can ever return, it was done for ethnic cleansing… guess what you were doing?

You were calling us names and some of you were calling us simple or dumb. You were so rude for so long, and you were completely wrong on all of it.

Now that we know the truth, I am not going to assume you were simple or dumb. I am also not going to assume that if you aren’t simple or dumb, that you supported this out of pure evil. But those are the two options. One, being not smart enough to get what smarter people were telling you, or two, you knew exactly what you supported and you did it anyway. I am not going to assume either one of those things about you.

Instead, I am going to listen to you. I am going to give you an opportunity to explain to all of us which one of those two it actually was. Were you not able to comprehend what was going on at the time, or were you behind it all along? This whole time you wanted a Riviera of the Middle East? You didn’t? So, you didn’t get it then?

Tell us please, did you willingly support genocide for profit, or do you owe a lot of people here an apology?
