Israel's been imprisoning 2 million Gazans for decades. The spirit of revolution in the region is similar to that of the Americans over the British, the French over the Ancient Regime, the Haitians over the French, the Russians over the Tsardom, the Chinese over the Qing dynasty, the Indonesians over the Dutch, and countless other times where the principles of sovereignty and self-determination prevailed over a hostile governing power and gave power to the people. In places of great inequality, revolutionaries congregate. Israel only has themselves to blame for this mess.

You could have cited the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto

Absolutely.

Or the failed Turkish coup of 2016, the failed Taiping Rebellion of 1850, the failed 1733 St. John Insurrection, or any number of failed slave uprisings. These are less famous because they're failed rebellions.

I can't see any way the Palestinians could win. They effectively have no economy. Their military is tiny compared to Israel. They have no real allies, just other countries that use them as pawns.

Gee, here's a guy that will get buried in hate mail at the very least.

He's right though.

Hate mail if he's lucky. Yitzhak Rabin was murdered trying to bring the peace with Palestine.

Seriously, the news prints the headline as if the rest of the article doesn't make it really clear this is a claim from nowhere.

“Opinion” seems clear enough.

Bending over backwards to get Christian support

With that many, they'll likely need to concentrate the prisoners into camps...

[–] Tarzan9192 6 points 11 months ago

They already have, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

They WILL need? They already have, it's one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

This kind of stuff happens very rarely, considering what Israel has done to the Palestinians.

Horrible things that should not have been done.

Israel is a terrorist state.
