The message should be for the US to stop sending money to Israel. Israel isn’t going to stop this shit in the name of “peace”. The best any US citizen can do is constantly berate the US for sending money to Israel. Biden needs to know he’ll lose to the orange man in November if he doesn’t take note. When you protest you need a clear demand, and the US could definitely stop sending money to Israel.
Do you know why Hamas attacked when it did?
Because Israel and Saudi Arabia were preparing to normalize relations through the Abraham Accords, which would’ve meant the last leg of support of Palestine would’ve been swept away. This was the only way that Hamas could interrupt regional consensus that would’ve ensured the end of Palestinians.
Israel is not under threat from its neighbors and has not been for decades. Even Iran, who Israel strikes with impunity, has shown remarkable restraint in their response to provocation. The only group looking to start a regional conflict with Israel is the far-right Israeli government that needs war and violence to continue justifying their genocidal colonial project in Palestine.
The narrative about Israel fighting for its existence has run its course, most Arab nations have accepted that Israel is here to stay.
I agree with the point that most Arab nations have accepted that Israel is here to stay. That said, as long as Israel is consistently attacked by terrorist organizations along multiple borders, not to mention the hostages, means that the fear for its existence has yet to run its course. I hope to never hear of the far-right Israeli government again, nothing more to add here. I believe the Palestinians are more likely to achieve their statehood if they also normalize their relations with Israel, accept Israel’s existence, denounce Hamas and other terrorist organizations, and give up on the idea of a right of return (I understand this last point is highly controversial). I don’t agree that there’s a genocidal colonial project in Palestine and I still think that a peaceful co-existence is possible. Both sides must negotiate in good faith and accept concession.
