I use to wonder why no one gave the human carnage caused by our American 21st century wars more coverage which is particularly true in Syria, as well as ignoring and supporting Saudi Arabia's genocidal attack on Yemen. Maybe there is no good explanation, but certainly one of the main differences is that Israel made it clear, always has, Israel is a Jewish state. Now, only months ago they made it very clear that their target was the people of Palestine, not Hamas alone, but the people of Palestine whom Gallant openly defined as animals, not deserving of water, food, and fuel. Israel targeted hospitals, on the lie that Hamas made the ground beneath them their refuge, and in the lie they killed babies, children, old people, those that were the most vulnerable among us.They repeatedly said they want the Palestinian people out of Gaza and into Egypt. They tried to destroy what little they had so they would be unable to go home. They made it quite clear that Israel was the land of the Jewish people. The Nakba was a genocidal example of that truth. Netanyahu never wanted a two state solution as did Yitzhak Rabin, and through his prejudicial hate speeches caused Rabin to be murdered. Even Rabin's wife made those claims against him. Musk should have stayed home because now he is part of the lie.
Opinion | A Brief History of the Netanyahu-Hamas Alliance
For 14 years, Netanyahu's policy was to keep Hamas in power; the pogrom of October 7, 2023, helps the Israeli prime minister preserve his own rule
Oct 20, 2023
Much ink has been spilled describing the longtime relationship – rather, alliance – between Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas. And still, the very fact that there has been close cooperation between the Israeli prime minister (with the support of many on the right) and the fundamentalist organization seemingly evaporated from most of the current analyses – everyone’s talking about “failures,” “mistakes” and “contzeptziot” (fixed conceptions). Given this, there is a need not only to review the history of cooperation but also to conclude unequivocally: The pogrom of October 7, 2023, helps Netanyahu, and not for the first time, to preserve his rule, certainly in the short term.

replying to Fran: it's just more stink added to what Musk was already carrying around
