Here's another expert commentary from 4 days ago (Rashid Khalidi) for you to ignore:
I don’t ignore what you post, but rather I take it in to evaluate the information. That is how I caught your first Instagram source as one who was broadcasting that homosexuality is an affliction and anyone who engages in it is an enemy of Allah. That creator also published claims of loving death more than their enemies love life. When I brought that to your attention, you slinked away claiming you didn’t mean to endorse the source.
With the neo-Nazi’s favorite authority on the Palestinian issue, Norman Finkelstein, who you’ve now quote-posted twice and who was cast out of American academia, declared his allegiance to Hezbollah, and took a job at an Islamic University in Turkey where his Jew hatred was more welcomed, I know the subject well enough to recognize his half-truth attempts at spin.
Here are a couple of examples:
In Bill Maher’s video, he summed up the events, and I’m paraphrasing here “you [the Palestinians] started a war and lost, then you started a war and lost, then you started a war and lost”. That is what happened. In the Arab-Israeli wars, it was the Arab forces that raised Armies to attack the Jews, and they lost. In Finkelstein’s telling it is “Israel expanded their borders through war, and expanded their borders through war, and expanded their borders through war”. Finkelstein’s version isn’t technically untrue but it is only a half-truth in that it omits the aggressor party responsible for the war being fought.
In your second Finkelstein video, he spends a large part harping on 97% of Gaza’s drinking water being contaminated. Here too, this is technically true, but even calling that one a half-truth is being generous. The ground water was contaminated by the Palestinians themselves. After the Palestinians contaminated their water, there was an international effort to solve the problem by building $200 million worth of infrastructure to pipe in water from uncontaminated areas. The moment it was complete, Hamas dug up all the pipes to turn them into rockets. Hamas then built filtering stations to clean the polluted water but only Hamas controlled filtering stations were allowed. With that Hamas controlled all the water which meant Hamas controlled the people.
The Arab-Israeli wars were initiated by the Arabs. All of the Intifadas were initiated by the Arabs. This latest conflict after October 7 was initiated by the Arabs, and as before, the Arabs are going to be the losers.
