There are no good moves for the oppressed group in an apartheid state. Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist by the US for fighting against the South Africa apartheid state
No but some actions have a bigger return than others. To me the October 7 attacks don't seem like they gained much consider how many have died, but like said, it's not for me to calculate that or decide if it's a good exchange. Maybe Gazans consider it a good outcome, I dunno.
Gazans are disposables for every party involved besides gazans themselves. Both Hamas heads elsewhere and Bibi's admin had a streak of luck with these attack and response since it gave them a reason to be and get international support. Although this situation wasn't okay since the formation of Israel as a state, I don't side with people who want either Palestine or Israel to become undone since both exist for longer than I'm here, but what I miss is a peacekeeping mission that'd at least stop the bloodshed and it's funding.
It might be hard to get a peacekeeping mission going there since many countries would never want to get involved in the political clusterfuck that Israel/Palestine thing is. You'd need a country that's acceptable to both sides and who wouldn't mind getting involved when things get tough. What to do when one side strikes against the other and so on.
Yep, moreso after Balkans and after US leaving Afghan. No one wants to take responsibility and send their guys as a mere body shield, especially as other countries are not prepared to react on their troops being killed by either side, especially Israel. That, though, is the only way I see these attrocities getting stopped, because I don't see any economical mechanism slowing down the genocide of gazans. In spite of all shit US and UN had for being involved in foreign politics, that's the time they can do good and save people, and it's kind of dishearting that it's the time they'd not as long as it's possible.
There is one economic way to stop the genocide: the US and the EU threatening Israel with closing their markets to any Israeli product, including weapons.
