Blaming Hamas for 7/10 is ahistorical

The terrorist state of Israel has been on a genocidal rampage since 8/10.

Yesterday, I had a chat with a Zionist on-line that typified the lack of awareness that many have when it comes to the discussion about Palestine and Israel.

Zionists are not taught anything about Palestine from an early age when they are taught about Israel – and talking about Israel without teaching the history of Palestine is like teaching people about eggs and ignoring the chicken.

The interaction yesterday on LinkedIn was instigated by a post I made.

To which the Zionist replied:

“So just to make sure I am reading this correctly, you are saying the events on 7/10/24 were the fault of Israel as ‘they failed to protect their border?”

Andrew Caine.

To which I replied:

“Absolutely šŸ’Æ, illegal occupiers, failing to protect their border, leading to Hamas coming through. Thatā€™s two strikes against one.

So yup, Israel is at fault. Now calm yourself and respond without emotion, just look at the logic.”

Kamran Hussain.

What shocked me was his response to this.

He added:

“No emotions here. Just trying to understand.

So by your logic, if someone comes into your house tonight and murders your family as they sleep, itā€™s your fault for not adequately securing your house. Heaven forbids this hypothetical situation comes to pass, you wouldnā€™t want to press any charges against the person who did it because youā€™re the one who is in the wrong.

Youā€™re entitled to think that. I think very differently but it would be a boring world if we all thought the same. šŸ‘šŸ»”

Andrew Caine.

This of course is a wildly inaccurate analogy. It is an example of how ignorant Zionists are about context and history.

I provided him with a correct analogy:

“Behave! That is a wholly incorrect analogy.

Hereā€™s the correct one: imagine you are Israel and I am Palestine. You come into my house and for years you forcefully occupy a part of my house, taking more and more of my house over the years, and displacing murdering my family members along the way.

Eventually Iā€™m confined to one corner room, and then one night you go to sleep inside your now heavily surveilled and guarded room, but you have a huge security failure because that night I am able to break through.

That my friend is on you. You cannot occupy my house and think I wonā€™t exercise my legal right to fight back.

We can of course discuss the specific acts that happened on 7/10, for example civilian casualties are to be condemned. But the overall event itself is unequivocally on Israel.”

Kamran Hussain.

Ultimately, it all comes back to them trying to whitewash and rewrite history – they ignore the pertinent facts; their occupation, their state sponsored terrorisation of Palestinians, the subjugation and ethnic cleansing. The land theft. The murders.

They not only try to eradicate the existence of Palestinians in Palestine, but they do it in their education structures too.
