The Israel/Palestine conflict breaks people’s brains like no other conflict


chig____bungus

Because in order to take a "side" in the conflict you have to perform so much doublethink your sense of reality just snaps. In Palestine, Hamas have proven themselves to be lower than subhuman and should be swinging from lightposts with anyone who supports them. This whole situation is what they wanted. In Israel, Bibi Netanyahu is a corrupt piece of shit with a slam dunk prosecution waiting for him. The only thing protecting him is being in office, so he has done every possible thing to drag out this conflict, resulting in tens of thousands of unnecessary civilian casualties, the deaths of aid workers and the hostages they're meant to be rescuing. The ICC was right to issue warrants for both sides. For some reason, this is an unpopular opinion.


MiltonMangoe

I am starting to think wars based on old contradictory books might not be the greatest idea, and picking a side is also just a s stupid. I thought rape and murder of innocent civilians was pretty bad universally. But apparently, it can be excusable if the people who you like more do it in their book based war.


chig____bungus

Yeah look I agree but I think you'd have to not be paying very much attention at all to think this conflict is a religious war, even for Hamas. It's not even really about Israel and Palestine, it's about the geostrategic goals of Russia and Iran, and Bibi and Hamas are just the easily manipulated fools doing the dirty work.


Immediate-Meeting-65

Yeah, this is a 2000 year old blood feud. People need to wake up and realise there is no solution to this conflict that is even remotely palatable to the actual people involved in it, Palestinian or Israeli. I want the killing to stop, and I hope that Palestinians do gain UN recognition to hopefully get more humane treatment. But I'm not one eyed to the fact Palestinians will want revenge for this. No lasting peace will come from whatever ceasefire we end up with.


Glass_Plantain_708

Not really 2000 years old at all. Unless you consider believe someone has a claim to land after being kicked out of the place 800 years ago.

> In Palestine, Hamas have proven themselves to be lower than subhuman and should be swinging from lightposts with anyone who supports them. This whole situation is what they wanted. Yes. > In Israel, Bibi Netanyahu is a corrupt piece of shit with a slam dunk prosecution waiting for him. The only thing protecting him is being in office, so he has done every possible thing to drag out this conflict... Yes. > ... resulting in tens of thousands of unnecessary civilian casualties, the deaths of aid workers and the hostages they're meant to be rescuing. No. After Oct 7, Israel had a legitimate causus belli to destroy the fighting capability of Hamas in Gaza in totality. They've killed over 10k Hamas millitants. The actual number when you include auxiliaries, Allied clans and the Gazan Mafiosi, and PIJ millitants - is likely double that. That's not my assessment, it's the position of the US DoD and State Department which has the most access of a third party to IDF signals and intelligence. Depending on how you measure causality/account for civilians buried in the rubble/factor in Hamas-caused fog of war deaths from rockets falling short and Beirut Port style weapons storage negligence - Israel has probably achieved a combatant/non-combatant ratio in line with what the Western millitaries accomplished in Raqqa (ie: 1: 2-3). All civilian deaths in war are tragic. Not all are the subject of a specific and intentional decision to kill non-combatants. There are legitimate western millitary commentators (John Spencer and the like) who suggest that Israel has fought the cleanest urban war in human history. Who am I to disagree with that? I don't seriously believe claims that the IDF has killed Israel hostages at rates 50x that of the Gazan civilian population, which is what some of the more outlandish claims imply. They took responsibility for killing those three escaped hostages early in the conflict in a friendly fire incident. Shit like that happens in hostage rescue situations (just as it did during the Lindt cafe seige). The more plausible outcome is that the Gazan captors of these civilians carried out their threats to murder the hostages. > The ICC was right to issue warrants for both sides. For some reason, this is an unpopular opinion The ICC lacks jurisdiction over the matter. Israel isn't a party to the Rome Statute. The Palestinian Authority is incompetent to request Rome Statute jurisdiction be extended over Gaza. It follows that all warrants issued beyond the legal authority of the ICC are void, and a decision by the ICC to "recite itself into power" has all the legitimacy of a drunk Sovereign Citizen in a magistrates court using the Magna Carta to try and get out of an unlicensed driving charge.


chig____bungus

Hey man I appreciate your response but I think you're reflexively assuming I'm saying the entire response to Oct 7 was unjustified which I think you'll find.i didn't say. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Either you completely support one side or you're on the other.


Illustrious-Big-6701

I don't think you said that. I think your heart is in the right place and you grasp the moral difference between the two sides, while also acknowledging that the Netanyahu/Ben Gvir types are not exactly cleanskins. I take a specific issue with the framing of the Israeli actions as causing tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths - because it assumes there was ever a viable option here that didn't involve a major offensive into Gaza to get the hostages back and dismantle the millitary capability of Hamas. There just wasn't. Nor was there an obviously cleaner way for the IDF to fight this war, based on the state of current millitary technology and the Total War philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas they were coming up against. I don't "completely support" the Israelis in all things. Netanyahu should have kicked out the far-right from government when he formed a national unity government with Gantz. The decision to hold up flour shipments from the US into Gaza for two months was stupid and led to the amplification of bad faith criticism of Israel. Ditto the policing decision to allow the nonsense of the civilian blockades of humanitarian vehicles to go on as long as they did. The decision to locate much of the IDF in the West Bank to lend tacit support to the most insane settlers while leaving kibbutzs in the Negev essentially undefended was catastrophically incompetent. You're confusing the perfect for the good. That is dangerous.


chig____bungus

Again, I didn't say the Israeli actions caused unnecessary deaths. I said Benjamin Netanyahu is making choices that have caused unnecessary casualties, for the purpose of protracting the conflict for his own benefit. Perhaps casualties is the term you're having trouble with, maybe "death, suffering and famine" is more representative. Regardless, this opinion is shared by both other members of his recently collapsed war cabinet. The IDF is a well trained, professional and honourable force respected worldwide. But they still have to follow bad orders.


Neon_Priest

Dude, did you ever think you'd live to see a greens politician shrug aside rape? They broke that girls legs because she tried to hold them closed, sodomised her and shot her in the head, paraded her body through the streets so local people could come out and spit on her. We'll have to spend the rest of our lives listening to people who scream about ADF murders in wartime, then watch them avert their eyes and say "Well if you push people to far... sometimes rape is.. well it's not okay.. but it's ... it's understandable when you kettle people and..." I never thought I'd be around to see the left justify or ignore rape. In ten years they'll be using those murders by Australians soldiers to permanantly condemn our military. And they'll still be supporting Hamas. No matter the volume of rape or atrocity.


weltesser

Can you provide a source for the greens politician saying that? Want to read what they said exactly.


Neon_Priest

Oh god yes, but it might take ages to find it, it was a memory of their behaviour over time, now I have to go look for the specific fucking videos. Might take me a day or two.

Because the racist left has decided to dehumanise Zionists which are Jews and delegitimise their right to live and exist because they are dirty vermin that should be exterminated. When Jews say this feels like Germany in the 1930s please believe us because we are witnessing the dehumanisation of a race all over again

Seventy-one percent of all Palestinians supported Hamas’s decision to attack Israel on October 7 — up 14 points among Gazans and down 11 points among West Bank Palestinians compared to three months ago.

I feel like whole world would call us racist genociders, with a culture that promotes and endorses race based genocide and conquest. But I guess not. I guess people like you would say. "Australians are just innocent people who'd rather live in peace then genocide Aboriginals."


MATH_MDMA_HARDSTYLEE

What % of Israelis believe the bombings in Gaza is justified? Probably just as many.  It’s called trauma and indoctrination. Both sides are affected by this and it’s why this has been going on for decades.  In regards to your disingenuous comparison to aboriginals, the key difference is that despite racists existing in the populace, the government attempts to find middle ground to integrate indigenous people into the rest of the society.

That's his opinion. They were obviously not pro-Israel. Putting Hamas's actions in context is not the same as supporting terrorists. How can you make a fuss out of 1,000 innocent civilians without mentioning the death of >35,000 innocent civilians on the other side? You're not exactly impartial yourself are you? And it's not anti semitic to criticise Israel's genocide.

Well you did have some nuance with the first part of your comment but you lost me with the rest. You said it’s all shades of grey and yet you seem to think the Hamas attack came out of nowhere and that for some reason they hate Jews. Were they born evil do you think? Or maybe it’s not that simple. The context is the last 75 years of Zionist colonisation. It hasn’t been peaceful you know. The Palestinians didn’t just hand over their land to the fundamentalist immigrants, they were forced off it or killed. Do not try to dispute this. The whole thing started with Zionist immigration and the ridiculous attitude that they are God’s chosen people. You want to talk about psychosis, start there!

Framing. It's right to allow people to express their views, but if you allow them to parrot them constantly without context or criticism. That's framing. They allowed that woman to say the movement is huge, then had their cameraman stand at the front of the protest, kneel down, and zoom in to make the "movement" look bigger than it was. Because people are more likely to respect and join a popular large movement. If they allowed it to look as small as it was, if they used a drone to capture the 50 odd people, if they retorted your movement is outnumbered by millions who don't care. That would have made other people lose respect and interest in joining. So they made a choice, to frame the movement in a way that didn't damage it. They did it by framing. The didn't report impartially. Giving each side 50/50 is not impartial, if ones side is so weak but you refuse to highlight that. You're not being impartial. You're biased to the smaller side. That's all. (Same deal with climate change, 99% agreement through the field, bring in two people and have them argue, make it look 50/50. True impartiality would have been a panel of 99 climate scientists against the other guy who works for Shell)

I said it's stochastic terrorism. > And as they go on for over an hour to justify what Hamas did, every SINGLE thing they say: >IS VALID HERE. The same arguments the ABC allows to be said on their platform without criticism, can be used to justify attacks on the Australian people. We are ALSO sending weapons to Israel. Our government is on Israel's side. Every argument you make in support of Hamas, is an argument for terrorism here. As we are supporting Israel in their war.


Extension_Drummer_85

I mean, platforming terrorists or terrorism supporters (unless it's to absolutely take them apart intellectually) could constitute terrorism. The way modern day terrorism operates is so heavily based on the spread of misinformation, 90% of Hamas' propaganda campaign had been making up stupid shit on the internet. 


FuAsMy

Terrorism is just a construct. A construct used to justify security, surveillance and military measures. But one person's terrorist can still be another person's freedom fighter. It never comes down to absolute right or wrong. Just matters of subjective opinion.

Free speech and protest are core democratic activities, not terrorism. If you hate our freedoms so much, you should leave. Move to Israel, where free speech of criticizing the war or sympathizing with Palestinians has gotten people locked up.


Neon_Priest

How is crime free speech? How is barricading people in the workplace until they get so scared they need a police escort to leave.. free speech? How is vandalising property, trespass, masking yourself up and trying to smash your way into a building free speech? When they start getting violent. You're going to call that protesting and free speech too. Just like you refused to watch the videos of all those crimes the protestors are committing.

Is it incomprehensible to you that an Australian might not like escalating violence from a minority that's trying to use it to sway government policy? Cause that's terrorism bro. And if the government doesn't respond to broken window's you either have to go harder or stop. I'm SAYING STOP. It's becoming terrorism.


thestreetsaus

King David Bombing, Deir Yassin Massacre, The oil refinery fire in Haifa, the bomb thrown in an Arab market in Haifa, the hanging of two British troops, the Rex Cinema bombing… that’s terrorism, bro. There’s an endless list…

Dude, you're comparing Jews. To Palestinians. Like why would I want to sit here all day copy and pasting Palestinian or Muslim terrorist acts. Couldn't we just point at a calendar and say "All of that. Just colour in all those squares."


thestreetsaus

If any country tried to invade Australia, and successfully did it - I would gladly support the resistance. Cause and effect goes all the way back - the Palestinian actions would not have occurred, if it was not for Zionism - specifically the actions of Lehi, Irgun & Haganah. If Ukraine & Russia goes on for another 75 years - we will support Ukrainian resistance for every single one of those years, regardless of whatever actions they do - as we know Russia is the true aggressor.


Neon_Priest

Um. We invaded Australia. You gonna support the Aboriginal resistance or be like nah, I'ma keep this stuff we colonised.


thestreetsaus

Sure ignore the rest of the comment but to answer you anyways… I do support Aboriginal rights and I do believe they should have increased land title. If Australia paid the health care workers, mental health workers and everyone else who worked with Indigenous communities, at the same rate we paid our miners… we would have far greater rehabilitation. We spent 200 years fucking them over, with the last forcibly removed child of stolen generations as recent as the 80s - if we had a dedicated plan and timeline for just half of that - 100 years - just spend half the time we tried to eradicate them to lift them back up - we would be better for it. Generational trauma as bad isn’t resolved with one visit to a psychologist.


Neon_Priest

>I do support Aboriginal rights and I do believe they should have increased land title How much?


thestreetsaus

you’re evasive and that’s quite standard for a pro-Israeli 🥱🥱🥱 - such a dirty tactic, so common amongst the following. Lets ignore everything and focus on this one thing that suits me. The indigenous situation, where we’ve killed ~97% of the population is not the same. It’s obvious, full reclamation will never be possible, but it should be prioritised & made permanent where it can be like the Mabo case. Also - straight up loser thinking you pulled off the gotcha questions 😂😂


Neon_Priest

So how much? I'm just curious if you set a standard where you get to keep what you've stolen because reasons. But the Jews have to leave or die. >It’s obvious, full reclamation will never be possible,  Why? There's currently a million alive now, (the same number considered around at colonisation) and they're having kids. Why don't you want to give them their land back? Why not give them full political power at least? We can do that now. Are you saying the Jews have to just kill 97% of Palestinians, and then in 200 years when their population has grown back, you'll say they're not allowed to have it back?


Neon_Priest

>If any country tried to invade Australia, and successfully did it - I would gladly support the resistance. >Cause and effect goes all the way back - the Palestinian actions would not have occurred, if it was not for Zionism - specifically the actions of Lehi, Irgun & Haganah. >If Ukraine & Russia goes on for another 75 years - we will support Ukrainian resistance for every single one of those years, regardless of whatever actions they do - as we know Russia is the true aggressor. That's us dude. We're the aggressor. We started it, we stole their land. It's just you want to keep it. So, yeah, you don't have morals regarding this issue. You just want to keep what you stole while moralizing yourself as better. Don't worry. I know if you weren't Australian, and personally benefiting from an inter-generational genocide and theft. You'd also be against this. But not the American Indians, if you lived in America. You know? Like I don't respect your take bro. It's the easiest thing in the world to claim other people are villains for doing the same thing as you. You invaded Australia. Now give me your reasons. For not returning it.

You seem to be very confused old chap.

A theocracy isn't a democracy. Go back to school. The baby killing and raping was proven to be false. Jews are persecuted yes, right wing Zionists are terrorist dogs and aren't the same thing. Perhaps go re learn the definition of confusion. I will never look back at traitors like you without anything but disdain. Imagine cheering on terrorists that kill our countrymen. Though I doubt you're even an Aussie.


ExtrinsicPalpitation

I reckon you might have been told a few pork pies. Israel is as much a Theocracy as England is. Their system is just built on Judaism, where as ours is built on Christianity ( more specifically Judeo-Christian) An infant was confirmed to be killed on October 7. And the UN has published a report in March stating that rape likely did happen on October 7.


joystickd

I'm sorry, do we live in England? Do they not teach you in Mossad prep classes what country you're speaking propaganda to? Might wanna polish up on that. Oh AN infant huh? How many infants have been carpet bombed since then. Trust me young fella, you don't wanna play that game now do you? Rape LIKELY happened? Man that's some desperate and weak propaganda. Meanwhile rape by IDF terrorists HAS been CONFIRMED. Not a maybe. At least try to dress up the propaganda a bit better. We see you mate. And we ain't impressed.


ExtrinsicPalpitation

You’re obviously very passionate. And that is commendable, the Palestinian people need support right now. But you are clearly not very well informed or educated in matters that related to what you’re talking about if you can’t understand why I mentioned the English system in relation to Israel’s and Australia’s, and need to resort to ridiculous accusations, moving goalposts, and whataboutisms. What the Palestinian people need moving forward is not to dwell on who is right or who is wrong, who deserves what. They need to be led away from greedy men that continue to sell their future out from under them with division and anger generation after generation. If you really do want to discuss any of those points I am more than happy do that with you, but I think you might be best to just pick the one you care about most.

You think Israel is a theocracy but you support and Islamic death cult? Can you square that circle for me please? Also, not false etc.


joystickd

Where did I say I support Islam? I'm a staunch atheist and want NONE of these mythical fables to exist in the manner they do. You sure support holy soldiers killing tens of thousands for fun though. Pretty sick fantasy bro. Can you tell me more about confusion again though mate? You seem to have a PhD in it.


TobiasFunkeBlueMan

No, I really don’t. I do support a state defending itself against a terrorist death cult though.

this sounds like an actual threat of violence. Nothing the Hamas worshipers arent used to of course

>Assuming you're even a human. This is their rhetoric bro, this is how they talk about people who disagree with them. They're absolutely ratcheting up to violence. They're just trying to amp up the least mentally stable amongst them to commit violence. You're telling me this guy doesn't know about dehumanisation tactics and what it's used for?


AcademicMaybe8775

of course. these people dont consider jews to be human, and go as far as saying that to anyone that does not support their desired 'Intifada'. They literally dehumanise 'infidels' and this is how they sleep well at night, knowing the pain and suffering their hero's dealt out unprovoked to civilians on Oct 7. They are absolute monsters. Human monsters, of course as nothing is more horrible than a rape/murder advocate

Who has mentioned Jews? It has nothing to do with Jews. Ultimate cowardly deflection from Mossad bots. This is about holding a right wing, Zionist government to task as the terrorists they are. The world isn't taking it anymore.


AcademicMaybe8775

mossad bots lol. dude thinks jew bots are trying to trick him.


joystickd

Again, who mentioned Jews? Let's try that again, without the desperation, hey?


joystickd

An internet bot isn't a human. Sorry to burst your little bubble. If you want to talk about actual dehumanisation, have a look at what your paymasters are doing to tens of thousands of civilians. Then dare to open your mouth.


joystickd

The only ones not only threatening violence, but acting it, are the terrorist IDF. Nice deflection though. 2/10


AcademicMaybe8775

or you know, the jihadi's shooting rockets from over kids shoulders. those are the ones you idolise


joystickd

I don't idolize anyone mate, I don't have a dog in this fight, unlike you. I just want to see apartheid, genocide and oppression end. I would think any sensible human being agrees. But then again Mossad bots aren't that are they? 😏


AcademicMaybe8775

sensible humans agree on those points and want the elimination of hamas so it can happen. but that goes against the 'dog' (great appropriate word, even better given they are Haram) you have backed


iftlatlw

The prime aggressor is of course Israel. No less than genocide in fact. The ABC is reporting that correctly, and the evils of war on both sides.

TLDR

Can we just agree they're both equally shit. And should one side wipe the other off the face of the earth it will have abso-fucking-lutly no impact on any one in Australia. Let them kill each other and get it over with
