That's an incredibly naive statement. No offense but I think you're so much in a western democracy bubble that you have no idea how militaristic despotic regimes work.

This post hits a lot of what I’m thinking lately.
We had the York University student unions release statements immediately following the Hamas attack stating basically that “this is what decolonization looks like” and it was “a strong act of resistance” and outright supporting Hamas and blaming Israel 100% for the 10/7 attack. Even more amusing/sad is that expressed support for such violent attacks also happening in Canada/USA by the indigenous.
It’s somewhat mind-boggling when I get told that everyone is just Pro-Palestinians, pro-two state solution, etc. Because half of the statements put out by these student groups, a very vocal (probably) minority at these protests are overtly and loudly pro-Hamas.
For those who doubt the above, here’s the link to the York University student Union statement. There are a lot of young people in academia voicing this trash.

“Settler-colonial states like so-called Canada”
These kids are fucking idiots.

What a patronizing statement to make.
You believe Palestinians don't care more about their everyday problems than the eradication of Israel or whatever Hamas wants to happen?
Palestinians are people. People want food, security and opportunity to better themselves. If that happens without Hamas, they'll be happy.

I can only speak for what I see and I see no one in my environment or on my insta or whatever promoting Hamas.
All I see is people who find it difficult that Israel imposes such suffering on Palestinian civilians. And they are right.
This is going to set Israel back for a long time to come.

Great post.
You are right.
It would be easy to portray Israelis as evil or even unkind. They are no such thing. They are most likely not that different from Palestinians. We tend to forget that there are normal people on both sides and that they are the vast majority.
But my main idea is that the Israeli government will have some benefit of keeping the conflict ongoing, because nothing that they do is constructive towards a solution. And they must realise as much.

I posted the York University Student Unions’ statement above. This PhD lady at a rally in Vancouver getting cheered for calling October 7th brilliant and amazing. The crowds in Sydney chanting “gas the Jews” weeks ago. The use of “From the River to the Sea” at all these rallies which implies the destruction of the state of Israel. Academics and students all over being pro-Hamas because “white colonial settler states” and “decolonization.” People tearing down posters of the Hamas held hostages. It’s not as rare as you are making it out to be.
Israel should be criticized for what it’s doing/has done. So should Palestine. Which has been part of the group of Islamic peoples/nations attacking Israel and its right to exist since the 40s. The PLO was founded as a terrorist org in 1964 with the express goal of eliminating the Israeli nation. This was before the West Bank was occupied. Its acts of terrorism and the aggression of surrounding Arab nations was the reason for the 1967 war and the occupation of the West Bank in the first place.
While this doesn’t excuse Israeli crimes today, let’s stop pretending that the Palestinian people and surrounding Arab nations haven’t been attacking Israel since it came to be.
