- #Israel is carrying out #genocide in #Gaza.
- Context! You must go back… all the way to October 7.
- Sure, let’s go back: let’s go back 76 years to May 15, 1948, to the #Nakba; the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people where 750,000 people were “expelled from their homes or made to flee, at first by Zionist paramilitaries through various violent means, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by the Israel Defense Forces.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba)
- No, no, not like that.
@aral Hell. Why not go right back to the slaughter of the Canaanites - men, women, children and their cattle - ordered by some mythical 'God'?
@mikewaghorne One happened within living memory. The other is a fairy tale in a fairy tale book.
(“Archaeological data suggests that Canaanite cities were never destroyed or abandoned.” – https://www.science.org/content/article/ancient-dna-reveals-fate-mysterious-canaanites)
@aral That is probably true but it is the kind of fairy tale that Netanyahu is using to slaughter Gazans. He refers to Gazans as Amelakites who must be destroyed. Fairy tale tellers can kill with calm consciences.
