First I did not ask you for a better analogy. I don’t care about making an analogy. I don’t need it to in understand what is happening. All of done is point out the (speaking of dishonest) analogies you’re using to spin the situation and make the Israelis out to be worst. For instance, in your most recent one comparing them to a German colony, these Israeli settlers have lived here for generations now. Most of them have parents and even grandparents born there. They are not going back to Germany.You pushed for a more exact moral comparison to current events, I gave you one in the Germans colonial genocide in Namibia which you now seem to be ignoring along with every other argument in that post whilst pushing a strawman that I support the Oct 7th attacks.
Seriously how many times does that dishonest nonsense need to be shot down before it loses credibility? its perfectly possible to decry Hamas's attacks AND also think that the Isrealis have exploited them to upkick their program of ethnic cleansing which our own governments are directly supporting.
Have I said anything about the Israelis "going back to Germany"? again another dishonest strawman argument, its perfectly possible to view current events as colonialism without believing that the Isreali population should be "sent back to europe". I mean we've have a UN ratified plan for a two state solution for decades which the Israelis and their western allies have clealy not committed to.
Its this fantasy I think your caught up in, the belief the Isrealis and their western allies have ever seriously been committed to a 2 state solution when I think evidence very clearly points to the reverse with the mass of illegal settlements in the west bank. Its a lie which has been well sold by much of our political/media class for decades but its becoming ever harder to maintain in the face of what were seeing now and I think outside of the genuine racial/cultural supremists only the ill informed or those too arrogant to admit they were hoodwicked still cling to it.
This gets to the heart of the real issue, which isn’t me being a racist. It is you and your ilk in here living in a fantasy and being unable to come to grips with the reality of the situation. Israelis going back to Europe is a fantasy. Israel giving back land from 1967 is a fantasy. Palestinians accepting these facts and being coming peaceful is without bloodshed is a fantasy. Israel being able to destroy hamas without massive collateral damage is a fantasy. Thinking that denouncing hamas matters at all is peak madness.
To that last point, I get that you “denounce” Hamas. I get that you think they’re bad people and you would give them a serious verbal lashing if you could get their attention. It doesn’t matter. They don’t care. They’ll do it all again if they get the chance. All your condemnations won’t give them any pause. So in reality what you preach is doing nothing about it, letting heinous war crimes go unpunished, and Israelis having to live with it and live under the threat of it happening again. Get as outraged as you want and call me all the names you want. This is the reality.
