Some folk are having difficulty figuring out that there aren’t any good guys here. We have (in no particular order):
Hamas, who are killing and raping innocent civilians, maintaining military rule, and generally being some of the most prominent examples of why theocracy is bad.
Israel, who’s doing a genocide and helped ensure Hamas was in power because Hamas is fucking evil and thus easy to hate.
The US who is supplying the former, and thus making things easier for them. Simultaneously, Biden appears to be trying to get a bunch of countries to form a peacekeeping force, but frankly I’m not giving him points for that. (Ofc, this does not mean you shouldn’t vote for him. Trump is worse.)
A large ammount of civilians who are being pushed by the first two into making each other victims and being brainwashed into thinking that one or the other is good.
The closest we have to a good guy in this scenario is fucking Egypt who’s participating in a scheme to maintain a peacekeeping force. And as far as I remember not doing anything shady that’s relevant. Reminder that this is the country that periodically comes out with a magical AIDS-curing laser.
In 1000 years you’d have Israel/Hamas all over again, but it would be Cabelas/BassPro
There was actually news that an Egyptian spy manipulated the peace process. His task was to talk with Israel and Hamas regarding a ceasefire. He manipulated the Hamas offer – which Israel accepted – without talking to Hamas with the goal to make Israel back off from the agreement.
So far no one knows why he did that. If he was Putin’s puppet or if it was orders from Egypt. But it shines a bad light onto Egypt’s role.
Putin loves chaos and dissent in Europe. Everything that escalates the situation in Israel and Palestine is good for him.
The good guys are the innocent victims on both sides. However, since one side has considerably more power than the other, the amount of victims they can rack up is far higher.
Here is the difference though.
October 7th was horrible but also MASSIVELY embellished by outright Israeli propaganda. We still don’t really know what happened at that festival.
The rest of Hamas’ attacks are launching unexploded rockets that Israel fired at them back at Israel so their advanced defense systems can intercept them with zero casualties.
The only way the meme would be a decent comparison is if instead of King Kong, it was just a normal ass gorilla.
Right, the fact finding mission couldn’t establish mass rapes (because no footage showed rape) or beheaded babies, but mass genital mutilation, injuries in the genital area consistent with rape and “attempted or complete beheadings of victims”.
