Zionism caused the nakba

Zionism is the reason thousands of palestinians were slaughtered and displaced that day, its the reason settlers exist who kept kicking out the palestinians out of their homes since 1948. Zionism is also the reason 30,000+ Palestinians have been massacred since october.

So no, Zionism means nothing good and some of you really need to shut up. Dont try to lecture us just because you are brainwashed and believe in the lies that were fed to you your entire life and just because you like to believe that the Israelis who occupied Palestine had good intentions (when we all know thats not true, occupying a country and killing the indigenous people is never ever a good thing and i dont know how some of you view that as "good").

I know it makes you lot sleep better at night if you flat out deny or downplay the suffering and displacement of the palestinians and believe that they deserved it so truly and honestly get bent. We all know "the definition" of Zionism and the definition was sugar coated from the beginning when the intentions were clear all along. Zionism always meant the displacement and the killing of Palestinians, it always meant genocide and it only ever brought pain and suffering to other people.

How can this be allowed to happen in the 21st century? The cruelty of starving an entire people is just unfathomable. The IPC, which is the global authoritative institution for hunger assessment, on which governments and multilateral organizations rely, now determines that half the population in the Gaza strip is in IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophe/Famine), the worst classification where "starvation, death, destitution and extremely critical acute malnutrition levels are evident".

They bombed a hospital. No one intervened. So they bombed the rest.

They killed civilians and hostages waving white flags. No one intervened. So they did it on live TV.

They murdered starving people at an aid convoy. No one intervened. So they've attacked at least 3 more.

Israel is currently attacking the Al Shifa hospital in northern Gaza (March 18) with tanks and heavy gunfire, resulting in an increasing number of casualties and abductions including journalists who were reportedly severely beaten and taken to an unknown location.

Israel is literally relishing in its impunity. All we have been hearing from those in power is "concerns" and pathetic words of condemnation while Israel continues to boast about its atrocities, six months on.
