Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?

    You know you can support the Palestinan cause without having to lie egregiously right. In terms of support, this is not “A first world, heavily subsidized, safe government” […] versus “a poor destitute region” alone.

    Like Israel has the US as an ally, there is massive financial support from different oil-rich, Middle Eastern countries in the infowar in favor of Palestine. From one side Iran, which is sworn enemies with Israel, and is financing Hezbollah in Lebanon. From another Qatar, where Hamas leaders are (were? I’ve seen reports of them moving so I may be out of date) living in luxury. Hell, even Russia is probably using their troll farms because making Israel look bad makes the US look bad and there is no way they would miss that chance.

      I am really sorry but I don’t speak apocalypse.

      Are you saying because I understand why Hamas did what they did that I somehow support Iran?

      No.

      I’ve heard that Israel funded Hamas at some point and I believe it.

      Israel is a problem. Time for the world to check in on Palestine as the place America is also shooting with brown people.

        I keep seeing this Israel funded Hamas rhetoric. But, I can find almost no information about it from reputable sources. The only information I can find that is not obviously biased is a freaking Quora post.

        If you, or anyone else, has anything more solid then I would be very interested to read about it.

          What? You think this is some kind of secret? Israeli officials themselves have been admitting to this for years now.

            No, I think that we should be critical of what we read online. Especially on topics where information is being actively manipulated. Thanks for the link.

              I was also quick to believe it because the US basically made Al Queda, so it make perfect sense to me that Israel, which has been extensively groomed by America, would use the same playbook in Palestine.

              But I get your desire for a bibliography.
