God of the Oppressed: On Palestine

decolonizepale... - this is a very good resource on the history of the struggle, alongside a reading list and a variety of debunked myths.

[@WPFinlay]

So good to hear an American Christian speaking so strongly for the Palestinian People and condemning a false State of Israel which ignores the God of Truth and Justice and Compassion

Thank you for this video, it is very important for times like this

@@MrSeedi76 Why do you think there are terrorist organizations apearing there in the first place? The Israeli state commits human rights violations and atrocities to the palestinian people all the time, but rarely enyone bats an eye. If you defend the actions of the state of Israel, you are providing ideological cover for genocide. So please STFU

[@statutesofthelord]

This video is important, as it shows many supposed Christians today would rather support Satan than Jesus.

[@Reed5016]

It really bothers me how a lot of leftists are siding with Israel in this situation. I’m glad you are one of the leftists who are able to call it as it is.

[@MrSeedi76]

Just as any normal person would stand with Israel against the Hamas terror attacks. But I guess some people just have it completely backwards.

[@Reed5016]

@@MrSeedi76 Don’t get me wrong, Hamas is messed up. But Israel itself is an apartheid state that perpetuates ethnic segregation and ethnic cleansing. Protesting against a government that is oppressing you is justified. And yes, in this case, it includes violence, because it is clear that Israel doesn’t care about the lives of Palestinian people. Of course, I don’t think citizens should be targeted in these attacks. But the thing is, Hamas is not the only group in Palestine. There are other groups that aren’t religious and extremist. Not everyone in Palestine supports Hamas, in fact, many of them are openly against them. Furthermore, Palestine has tried many times since the conception of the nation of Israel to come to a truce, but Israel has rejected them every time. This conflict is not as black and white as it is being portrayed to be.

Most leftists I know support palestine

[@martiner3622]

@@Reed5016 Can you call Israel an apartheid state, when there are 2 Arab politcal parties (1 was the third biggest party in 2020). When Arabs can stand for election, even when they speak out against Israel? When 20% of al doctors is Arab?

[@deejayrofis7859]

@@Reed5016 who told you that this organization are not religious? Muslim created this organization to kill the Jews the Christian and non Muslim. In fact Palestinian people celebrating the dead of a naked woman at the back of the truck and spit on her because that’s their belief. Palestinian teach their kids how to shoot a gun instead of giving them good education

Thank you for sharing this a very sober look at what is happening

[@jizeruchan07]

Thank you for taking a stance on this. It's so important to speak up on how Jesus's love would be applied in modern times.

[@statutesofthelord]

Jesus never supports terrorism.

[@statutesofthelord]

@@fink9463fink, sad to see you support people who call for the extermination of you, your family, and your ancestor's country.

[@retro3188]

Exactly. Jesus would not support IsraHELL’s terrorism. The Palestinians did nothing to IsraHELL.

[@tonyb408]

The history of this region starts 75 years ago?

[@StephenDMorrison]

The history of the conflict, yes. Not of the entire region.

[@danieljohnstone1834]

​@@StephenDMorrisonI agree with most of this video, but would add that Zionism is an umbrella term that encompasses many ideologies. It was originally a secular movement for Jewish self-determination. There are many Liberal Zionists who support a two-state solution and equal rights for the Palestinians. I'd also add that Hamas shouldn't be seen as a resistance group. They are extremely wealthy, and have stolen millions in aid, as well as suppressing the Gazan working class in a number of ways. October 7th was not an act of resistance by the oppressed, as Hamas are in a privileged position, it is the Palestinian people who are oppressed. They wanted to provoke a war, in the same way that Netanyahu's regime wanted the war. They are feeding off each other. I certainly agree tho that Israel has disproportionate power, and that the Palestinians are the oppressed in comparison to Israelis.
