This is naive. Palestinians don’t support Hamas because of how Israelis treat them. They support Hamas because Hamas hates Jews with as much fervor as they do. And that hatred dates back millennia, so you can’t really pin it on the last 70 years. Unfortunately, hating Jews has become rather trendy this year.
For the last 2500 years, the Jews have been the bad guys. That’s why they’re worthy of hatred
Speaking of naïve…
The internet has demonstrated the people of seperate nations don’t hate each other intrinsically, but are driven to hate by rhetoric and doctrine fueled by precarity or adversity.
Regardless, my prescription comes from classic COIN philosophy, not identity politics propaganda. Besides, if bullies — those with the capacity to decide whether or not to cast garbage on thosr weaker than they — continue tonharm when they choose to stop, it is their behavior that fuels hatred and justifies their reputation.
Plenty of jews are kind and even protest the IDF offensives. But those who toss rubbish on Hebron Palestinians are showing a different character.

Yes. For the last 2500 years, the Jews have been the bad guys. That’s why they’re worthy of hatred.

It’s not black and white.
