    There’s a third fact: Israel has slowly annexed Palestine ever since it was established

    ETA: “it was established” means Israel, just in case it wasn’t clear

      Throw in the fact that Palestinians had non violent protests for more than a year prior to this “heating up” where people were being gunned down just for holding a flag with no weapons on them… it wasn’t one or two either, it was a lot.

      Then look at the attacks on Palestinian homes, villages leading up to October.

      Then the people saying they gave Israel the Intel that something was going to happen on October 7th, and Israel’s own military members stating they got an unusual order to not patrol that section on that day which had never happened for them before… And it all starts to look like Israel attacking and expanding their territory, hearing about a counter attack and using it for PR to do a full scale invasion in a way the public would accept outside of Israel.

      “According to the UN, between 2006 and October 7, 2023, 5,365 Palestinians were killed and nearly 63,000 injured, and 170 Israelis were killed with more than 4,000 injured in Gaza or Israel proper.”
