    Gazans have the right to revolution, just as the Americans, French, and Chinese did.

    Condemning violence in revolution is akin to condemning the formation of these countries we have today. Palestinians have exhausted all other options.

        The silly thing is that, while on the surface it looks like a religiously-motivated conflict, at its core it’s a socioeconomic one. The massive gap in economic opportunity caused by the Zionist regime’s comprehensive repression of Palestinian rights, the displacement of people from their own homes, and the complete segregation of society was bound to lead to conflict with or without religious motivation.

        People blaming religion for this issue are the same people blaming religion for the Troubles.

        China’s case of Xinjiang shows that massive forced social and economic reform can eradicate extremism without launching bullets and missiles at every person of colour who looks at you wrong.

    Israel is its own country and responsible for its own actions. Don’t drag the West into this just because some financial aid is given.
