I feel like you can easily tell who’s new to the #Israel vs. #Palestine conflict by waiting for them to say “they should stop shooting and just negotiate peacefully”
Just heard a segment on #MSNBC where they interviewed someone connected to the #IDF. They asked him about the border between #Palestine and #Egypt and when it will be opened, and he said that it’s closed on the Palestinian end, and #Hamas is the one keeping it closed so that citizens can’t escape. Interesting, as all the rhetoric I’d seen before said that it was #Egypt, not #Hamas, that was keep citizens from escaping in that direction. #MSNBC says they will attempt to confirm this claim with their sources.
One of my siblings asked me why I was listening to #MSM sources for news on the conflict between #Israel and #Palestine instead of listening to a #TwitterSpace run by a crypto scammer (I’m not joking) Well, it’s because of stuff like this:
“If I vote for someone who’s not a front-runner, I’m throwing away my vote” Yeah like your vote has more weight if you’re voting for the person everyone else is voting for 😂
Too tired to do the research I wanted to, but I think I have a macro timeline of #Israel v. #Palestine down based on that #HistoryChannel video I saw (which seems a bit silly, I know). But I want to get into the nitty gritty of details like: Was there indeed no violence between the Jews and Muslims prior to the creation of the modern #Israel state by the #UN in 1948? How did the Jews respond to the new declarations of territory by #Israel? What percentage of Palestinians actually support #Hamas? Did the Jews do anything to provoke the Palestinians before the first war started? What justifications do both countries use for performing atrocities or perceived atrocities against the other side, and how valid are they? And how do these compare to the actions of other nations (such as the #USA nuking #Japan, for example)
I need to stop listening to #MarkLevin, he’s agitprop First it was shilling for #KevinMcCarthy, now it’s focusing on blaming #JoeBiden for the #USA’s role in funding #Hamas’ terror attack against #Israel, and pointing fingers are radical anti #Israel and antisemitic protesters Like, sure, yes we have caused this to an extent, but shouldn’t you be focused on the horrors happening overseas? The lives lost on both sides? Especially when your show airs during the daylight hours of #Israel. I can’t think of a time I’ve tuned into the man over the past week where he wasn’t pushing an “us vs. them” narrative.
So I will probably be studying #Israel vs. #Palestine tomorrow, anybody have good (hopefully unbiased) sources of info? Came across this video which seems to quote #Wikipedia a lot, which I was actually thinking of using for sources, but a) I’m not sure if he’s using framing, or is accurately representing #Wikipedia’s facts or POV and b) I’m not sure if #Wikipedia’s articles on the subject aren’t biased themselves.
