TANYA : It appears that you may be getting much of your info 2nd hand. How do you ascertain the quality of your sources? Do you pick and choose those that confirm your rather obvious bias? Your Israeli sources? Who are they? Very curious: I thought you hate Israelis, why would you trust any of them? What makes you think that they can now…
TANYA : It appears that you may be getting much of your info 2nd hand. How do you ascertain the quality of your sources? Do you pick and choose those that confirm your rather obvious bias? Your Israeli sources? Who are they? Very curious: I thought you hate Israelis, why would you trust any of them? What makes you think that they can now be trusted when you apparently consider them all evil personified?
Being yourself a writer and purveyor of information, you claim to know better than most individuals do how propaganda works. In that case, to not be considered a propagandist by rational, literate people, you would want to avoid putting forth a narrative that completely exonerates one side of any culpability whatsoever, while pinning all the blame for this war on on the other side. No nuance, just unloading vituperation and blanket condemnation that go along with your opinions based on 2nd and 3rd hand sources.
Lol. Talk about propaganda and projection. Broaden and enlarge your scope a bit. The picture you are going to get is formed by who you talk to.
My sources are knowledge of actual history of the region. I have lived over there with the threat of genocide, of annihilation a reality that people learn to deal with in order to live. HAMAS videos that they put forth of their rampages are very instructive: if they show me who they are, I am going to believe them!.
Ironically and laughably, You say my statements have no basis in fact. And that my history doesn't match what actually exists.
Like, how would you even know? I doubt you know exactly what exists over there to be even able to make such a statement: Here's a thought. Go over to Israel and spend some time interviewing real people, Arabs
and Israelis, Palestinians, everyday people. It would be a good thing, you could learn some firsthand aspects of wartime reality for both sides that would be truly instructive for the readers of your Substack.
Investigative journalists and war correspondents have a lot of valuable understanding gained to share with their viewers and readers. Its all about finding out what is actually happening as it is happening and you are caught up in that moment and how you are impacted as a human being. Everyone is affected by war they are directly witnessing and engaging with. It is very powerful and it changes you, sometimes for the better, strangely enough
Anyway, please dialogue with me in this, if you can. I am personally interested in peacemaking, not in killing and destroying, although I understand why it happens, I also know that hatred and evil as a response solves nothing, but it just perpetuates and exacerbates it and it spreads and contaminates others.
I will never excuse, justify or exonerate evil, but repaying evil with hatred and more evil is to excuse, justify, exonerate and above all, EXACERBATE and PERPETUATE it.
I bear you no ill will. People that I may disagree with need to be dialogued with if at all possible.
