Been doing a deep dive on this conflict for the past few weeks and I don’t think you’ll find many unbiased summaries. A lot of people have said good things about this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11961982-side-by-side
Tells the Palestinian narrative on the left hand side, and the Israeli narrative on the right hand side.
Everytime I’ve asked this to someone that’s taken a hardline stance I’m met with either “it’s a complex issue” or just completely ignoring the question 😂
Above commenter asked where the fight with Hamas is taking place.
Where do you think Hamas is hiding???
This is the first instance I've seen of a tankie being self aware. Instead of ragging on him, how about we politely show him that you can live a fulfilling life in capitalist society?
Lemmy is ran by tankies, not surprised.
Toldry, I have spent the past week doing serious research into the Israel/Palestine conflict. I have looked at pro Palestine arguments as well as pro Israel arguments along with third party sources and cross referenced timelines of events and quotes from key players from the 1800s til now. I can safely say both sides are terrible and there’s a lot more than meets the eye going on right now. Thank you for providing nuance and level headedness in a time when people are increasingly feeling pressured to pick a side. Remember people, you can condemn both hamas and Israel. Both have done dirty things to each other from the beginning and both have engaged in deception so often that I feel there is truly no good guy in this situation.
Not wanting race to be a factor in admissions is a conservative thing these days?
If both result in genocides, does it really matter which is somewhat better on paper? Both rely on creating an “enemy” and purging them, which always comes down to people they don’t like. They both need to go. I don’t want to see this place turn into a Tankie or alt right haven.
LMAO you do realize lemmy owned memorabilia of any “bad guy army” he could get his hands on? He had a shit ton of confederate and imperial Japanese paraphernalia. He said time and time again that he liked collecting war memorabilia, and anyone that looked into him for more than 3 seconds would know he’s not a Nazi. Lemmy the website is infested by tankies by the way. No better than fascists.
How DARE he provide nuance and not just circlejerk
