In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
I'm an average U.S. born American, whose descendants came to the U.S. so many generations ago that I have no idea why they risked it all to come here in the first place. I have to admit, I am not well versed in the details of the Israel/Palestine conflict. All I know is that in the old testament, the Jews are instructed by god to murder and/or enslave anyone who is already living in the land that God is telling them they can have. Entire civilizations of humans were wiped out by the "chosen people" according to the OT. I also know that the US supports Israel, though I never knew why. That is about the end of my education on Israel.
Thanks to the Joe Rogan podcast, I recently heard about a documentary you can watch on YouTube (among other places) called "Gaza Fights For Freedom". This tells a story from the Palestine perspective. Evidently, the Palestinian side of the story is NEVER told in mainstream American media. I have only ever known that we support Israel. Since we are the good guys and we support the good guys, the Palestinians must be the bad guys. However, now that I have watched this documentary, I'm not so sure the U.S. media portrayal is accurate. Are we really being told the real story?
Be warned, this was very hard to watch.
Without any real understanding of the history or the details of this conflict, having watched this documentary, I can tell you that Israel is literally MURDERING children, women, members of the press, medical first responders. They commit actual war crimes and the US supports it. We are not talking about bombs that go array and accidently kill innocent people (collateral damage), I'm talking about snipers shooting medical personal. Journalists. Children. Women. It is absolutely disgusting and I am ashamed the U.S. supports this kind of treatment of our fellow humans.
Based on race and religion, Israel is slowly exterminating all the people that used to be the country of Palestine, just like God told them to do 4,000 years ago. Now, Palestinians have been pushed back (lands stolen, just like the U.S. did to Native Americans) and are currently stuck in a tiny place called Gaza, where they are not allowed to leave. Imagine that! Your country is occupied by an oppressor, and you can't move anywhere to try and make a better life for your family. You are permanently locked in. You have no way to make a living. You survive on the aid Israel (U.S.) gives you. Gaza is no different than German concentration camp, except that there are no gas chambers.
If you have watched this documentary, I'd love your feedback. I know this is totally one sided, but its the side we have never heard from before. Has anyone else been completely surprised by seeing the other side of the story? I am in a state of disbelief. Like when I found out the Easter bunny isn't real.
Check it out for yourself.
