I mean, if you want to go down that rabbit hole, you certainly can dig into centuries of imperialism and oppression in Africa by outside colonial powers.

Ah, I see. You don't understand nuance and context.

The modern state of Israel exists because a bunch of Christian doomsdayers thought that it existing would make Jesus come back and end the world, and post-WWII seemed like the perfect time to redraw some borders with no consideration for the people already living there. That's the death cult you're talking about.

And I know Judaism views Israel as its ancestral homeland. It's not like the Jews have no claim to it whatsoever. Additionally, I understand that post-WWII genuinely was a great time to give the Jewish people some reparations. But you're acting like they've been there the whole time and no one else also has a claim to it, and you're further acting like after the European Christian death cult moved them in there (again, to try and make Jesus come back and end the world), they didn't then spend the next 70 years viciously subjugating the Palestinians who'd actually been living there for ages.

MLK Jr. said that a riot is the last voice of the unheard. That's not true about every riot, but if you have been aware of the geopolitics of this region of the world for more than like a month? and are not being a disingenuous shitbag, then this is the exact type of riot he was talking about. I know you have a lot of trouble with the not being a disingenuous shitbag part, but fortunately it seems like most people here also recognize that.
