Always banging on about socialism and antifascism, and also currently losing my shit about these goofballs fandom-wise
the thing about the Zionist accusations of Palestinian baby-beheadings and wartime rapes is that even if they were true (which they aren’t), there is no ethically consistent way to denounce Hamas for those actions while still supporting Israel. if you accept the axiom that “any group that kills children/civilians or rapes women from a specific demographic is irredeemably barbaric and so is the cause they’re fighting for and everyone in the same demographic as them and anyone who supports them”, you would have stopped supporting Israel as soon as you learned how to use Google, because they have been killing and raping Palestinians for decades. you cannot claim to be taking a principled stand against rape and civilian killings by supporting the settler colony that proudly wields both of those things as tools in their ongoing genocide against the people you are mad at. Israel loves killing civilians as an act of ethnic cleansing so much that they sent weapons to Azerbaijan LAST MONTH to help them do exactly that in Nagorno-Karabakh. Israel is the schoolyard bully who never gets in trouble because they’re the principal’s kid but any of their victims who hit back with a fraction of the force are instantly expelled, except instead of giving out swirlies and purple nurples they’re running the largest concentration camp on earth and violating human rights like it’s going out of style
Israelis of any gender (yes including women) have been raping and torturing Palestinians of any gender—as well as anyone else who crosses their path in solidarity with Palestine—for the entirety of the Zionist state’s existence. e.g. see here:
(WARNING: graphic text descriptions of rape and torture)
or just see selected excerpts here (SAME WARNING) to get the idea
one baseless rumor Zionists are pushing of supposed Brutality by Palestinians was shamelessly lifted from statements by the survivors of the 1982 Shatila and Sabra massacre, describing what Israeli settlers did to them
meanwhile, western media is reporting as fact every single unsubstantiated rumor of supposed Palestinian brutality, including the one about “beheading babies”
Zionists don’t care about rape, or about the murder, abuse, and imprisonment of children (CW: child abuse, csa, torture). if they did, they wouldn’t be Zionists
even if Palestinians genuinely wanted to (they don’t) or were trying to (they’re not), they still could not inflict even a fraction of a percent of the gleeful colonial terror, torture, rape, starvation, caging, dehumanization, apartheid, and genocide that Zionist colonizers have continuously inflicted on Palestinians for 75 fucking years going back to the Nakba. but again, that is not what they are doing. they are fighting for their liberation
