How The Occupation Works


They send out a caravan of soldiers in humvees & a bulldozer, knock down a school or houses or chicken houses, pour cement down 'illegal' water welsl - along the way shoot down a few people daring to object in cold blood.

Why are they 'illegal' ? They are Palestinian.

Don't believe me ? Watch the film.

This film shows what's really happening in the West Bank and Gaza and why October 7th happened. As if Israel was blameless. Haha!

reply

Israel was never blameless. They know and have known since 1948 that these people hate them and will do anything to get them off their land.

Failure to secure their own borders under such circumstances, and the inevitable outcome of that, lies squarely with Israel itself.

reply

And Israel's bulldozing of innocent civilian's houses doesn't help. Israel can't be financing illegal settlements in the West Bank and then whine about secure borders.

reply

I don't think Israel cares about what's deemed "illegal". They'll just keep stealing land forever more unless they are completely dismantled.

And no one really has the stomach for either outcome, nor probably wants one since they can generate enough wealth through forevermore conflict.

reply

Okay, we agree then. I wasn't sure if you were using the secure borders argument to justify the invasion of Gaza. Though I don't support Hamas' October 7 attack on Israeli settlers, it was provoked by Israel's encroachment on the West Bank and their blockade of Gaza.

reply

Yeah, I think we agree. I was saying responsibility for their failure to secure their border should lie squarely with Israel.

The Palestinians hate them and have done so for a long, long time and always will, so having seized the land in the first place, Israel should always be responsible and accountable for its own people. Sadly tens of thousands of Palastians have paid for Israel's "failure" (if it was that) with their lives and the rest of being subjected to an ethnic cleansing which we still don't know what the final solution for will be...

I wouldn't support what Hamas did either but can recognise that they'll always try to strike back at Israel.

reply

The hatred is carefully nurtured. If Israel had left the Palestinians alone inside the Green Line and encouraged economic development, Israel could have had a very different destiny, the two people could be vastly further along in mutual respect, a tradition of co-existance, economic cooperation.

The grievances could long-since have been mitigated. But that's now Israel played their hand. Their crocodile tears only convince the rubes.
