I'm trying to say something about the Israel-Gaza War without being glib and without wasting your time. I've made a list of topics that I think one needs to understand, at least somewhat, to start getting a sense of the complexity of this problem.
Preview: [December 17, 2023] This was a post that focused on 10. GUERRILLA WARFARE I put up earlier, but with this series in mind. It includes an embedded copy of the classic movie about the independence movement's war against the French occupation: Battle of Algiers.
Part I of this series is here. [January 18, 2024] It identifies and briefly discusses the following topics I think important to be aware of when confronting the Israeli-Gaza war.
1. PROPAGANDA, MISINFORMATION, OBLITERATION OF TRUTH
2. THE PROBLEM OF NETANYAHU
3A. HISTORIC ANTI-SEMITISM
3B. THE HOLOCAUST
Part II is here. [January 21, 2024] It looks at:
4. GENOCIDE
5. ZIONISM
6. ISRAELI MISTREATMENT OF PALESTINIANS
7. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL - PALESTINIAN AND ISRAELI EDUCATION
Part III is here: [February 4, 2024] It discusses:
8. RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS AND ISRAEL'S RIGHT WING TILT
9. IGNORANCE
10. GUERRILLA WARFARE
11. FACTORING IN WHAT'S HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES
Part IV is here: [February 13, 2024] Why Making Real Time Sense Of Israeli-Gaza War Is So Difficult - Part IV Hamas
Part IV focuses on Hamas - mainly on the Hamas charter which basically calls for the removal of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic state.
Part V is here: [April 2, 2024] Why Making Real Time Sense Of Israeli-Gaza War Is So Difficult - Part V - Observations -
Part VI is here. [April 28, 2024] Considering the previous posts I pose the dilemma that Hamas and the Netanyahu government want conflicting outcomes, what criteria would an impartial adjudicator use to decide whose claims are valid. Then I discuss why that would be hard to determine, let alone implement. I also added a map of the area.
