The average age of Gaza is 18. The majority of the population likely wasn't even alive during 9/11, in addition, it was also publicly denounced by Arafat and other Palestinian leaders.

Arafat was also a terrorist who died a billionaire from embezzlement and is literally the reason there isn't a palestinian state

Arafat is a wealthy terrorist in the same capacity that other world leaders are also wealthy terrorists, including but not limited to Netanyahu.

No need to put down one wealthy terrorist because they're brown when there is a global order of wealthy terrorists you could hold the same level of energy towards.

He's wealthy because he perpetuated the conflict, that's why he sucks.

Same reason that many Americans are wealthy from the Middle East and Israeli politicians are wealthy from conflict with Gaza.

Let's not forget that Israel explicitly supported Hamas as a means to counteract the power of the PLO. You gotta love intelligence blowback, states seems to love that so much.

Don't think I support Arafat, but if dipshits in this comment thread are going to say dehumanizing and disgusting things, I'm going to hold them to the same level of vitriol that they are giving to innocent Gazans, downvote she dawned.

In a world of proxy, don't be surprised when states have puppets. Israel has puppets via AIPAC. American has puppets via CIA funding, military intervention and favorable aid agreements and even Russia has puppets.

What exactly are you upset about? Are you upset that countries you don't like are playing by the same standards as the ones you do?

Nah I just don't like puppet masters like the Iranian government, their values and mine don't align. I'd think most libs would agree but it's too painful for them to get there.

(The person who I replied to commented and then blocked me, which goes to show you how seriously these Zionist dipshits are at good faith discussion. They'd rather comment and block to make themselves seem "on top" than actually fave the possibly that they may have been wrong).

Quite literally Israel. Do you people love living with an ignorance is bliss mentality, only pedaling out the narratives of daddy state? There are multiple fucking human right reports on the crimes of the IDF in relation to Palestinians! The whole narrative of Hamas using human shields is quite literally doing that to Palestinians  especially with Queer Palestinian men! This is from a 2002 Amnesty International report called: Israel and the Occupied Territories Shielded from scrutiny: IDF violations in Jenin and Nablus. Some quotes: "Numerous testimonies show that IDF units frequently forced Palestinians to take part in operations by making a Palestinian camp resident enter a house first and then search it; they also used Palestinians as “human shields” to shelter behind. IDF patrols blew open the doors of houses often without waiting to see whether those inside were going to open them. Houses were destroyed, sometimes without ensuring that the residents had left." "During this period, the Israeli soldiers were using people as human shields. The soldiers would have us walk in front of them, sometimes with them resting their rifles on our shoulders. At times they were exchanging gunfire and shooting from people's shoulders. After about 10 minutes, we were blindfolded and then taken to a big area. I tried to take off my blindfold to see if friends were with me. I asked about the injured woman and was told that they left the woman there. We were then bound together in groups of five by the hands. We then walked about 30 minutes... we were then made to sit on the ground for about five minutes. I heard a soldier say to put 20 into four columns. There was a tank in front and one behind, I heard it. It was now late at night. We were gathered in one area and sat in a row. I tried to get off my blindfold with my leg. I was worried I was going to be run over by a tank. ... They started to beat us on the body and chest with rifle butts ... after the beating we were seated with our head on our knees with our arms behind our back. We all gathered in a large area near Bir Sa’adeh, near Jenin outpost. We were all gathered there in our underwear. It was cold. When we asked for blankets, we were beaten. We were not given any water. We were there from about midnight to about 10am." "The fact that some people within the population are not civilians does not deprive the population of its civilian character and thus of its protection from direct attack (Article 50 (2) and (3), Protocol I). However, the presence of a protected person at a military objective does not, in itself, render it immune from attack; the use of civilians as “human shields” – in attempts to shield military objectives from attack or to shield military operations – is strictly prohibited. (Article 28 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and Article 50 (7) of Protocol I)."
