How dare Hamas act out of desperation from the largest open air prison on Earth?!
Writing strongly worded letters for 100 years while they were systematically deprived of basic resources, or mass voluntary Palestinian suicide because the world clearly doesn’t value their lives, are their only acceptable options!
In all seriousness though. You live in squalor, your children starve, and you see the children of your oppressors who actively stop resources from getting to your children having a lavish party. Do you just tell your children to die quietly so as not to disturb their children’s lavish party?
When you forcibly remove hope, vengeance becomes an intoxicating alternative.
For the record, I think both societies are are backwards and built on savagery and ignorance, because both are willing to die, to deny rights to, and to kill REAL PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY EXIST for their equally moronic imaginary friends.
Fuck organized religion. No amount of conditionial soup is worth this never ending murderous cycle of bullshit. No rational person cares if you want to pray to Pikachu at 2am every morning standing on one foot, stop making your rituals and superstitious nonsense other people’s problems.
For anyone curious, here is the letter:
It was surprisingly difficult to find! All the “news” articles were just he-said-she-said baloney.

Joint Statement by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence. Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum. For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison. Israeli of f i cials promise to “open the gates of hell,” and the massacres in Gaza have already commenced. Palestinians in Gaza have no shelters for refuge and nowhere to escape. In the coming days, Palestinians will be forced to bear the full brunt of Israel’s violence. The apartheid regime is the only one to blame. Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian existence for 75 years. From systematized land seizures to routine airstrikes, arbitrary detentions to military checkpoints, and enforced family separations to targeted killings, Palestinians have been forced to live in a state of death, both slow and sudden. Today, the Palestinian ordeal enters into uncharted territory. The coming days will require a f i rm stand against colonial retaliation. We call on the Harvard community to take action to stop the ongoing annihilation of Palestinians. This statement was co-authored by a coalition of Palestine solidarity groups at Harvard. For student safety, the names of all original signing organizations have been concealed at this time.
That is pretty straight up and a sober critique honestly.
From OPs username I get why they care what NY Post thinks…
But why would normal people care? NY Post is straight trash
Well, this frees up some jobs from being taken away by Harvard elitists.
“Harvard out of occupied Palestine”
I was unaware that Havard had any form of military, nor was located in Palestinian land.

They fucked around and now they are about to find out.
They put their names on a paper supporting terrorism.
They are finding out that was a mistake, but it is too late.
Did you forget to change accounts? You seem to have replied to yourself.
No. I was just clarifying why they fucked around and are now finding out.
Nice try to call me a sock puppet though.
What goes around comes around. Fuck you, antisemites.
Totally agree. I just thank god every day that it is completely and utterly impossible to criticize Israel without being an antisemite. Inexorably linked, for sure. Absolutely should NOT have nuanced or subtle opinions on anything.
Because of course all Jewish people live in Israel, and the Israeli government consists of everyone in the entire country, not just political leaders. God, it’s so good being right all the time.
Israel ≠ Jewish. Jewish ≠ religious always. Criticizing Israel ≠antisemite
