“Every time a child cried, they would threaten him with a weapon to shut him up.”

Eitan’s whole family, including his mother and two sisters, aged 10 and 20 months, were abducted on what some in Israel now refer to as “Black Saturday”.
How many Palestinians were forced to watch their loved ones bombed by the Israeli government?
You could’ve said this is fucked up and separated Palestinians from Hamas, but you had to flip it into an attack on Israel.
You can say Hamas is fucked up without mentioning Israel.
I can also say Israel is fucked up because they’re the ones with a functioning government yet continue to pursue apartheid.
a functioning government
Tell me you know nothing about Israeli politics without saying you know nothing about Israeli politics (the country is run by a bunch of literal criminals. Do they care about the Palestinians? No. But do they care about the Israelis who aren’t directly related to them, and even then not always? Also no. If someone told you “Israel the only democracy in the middle east” you’d call bullshit, and you’d be right, so don’t pull out a “functioning government” when it’s convenient. they are run by fascists, standing up to those in power is becoming harder and harder, just look at the last few elections and the reactions to protests)
