In two days i was able to learn everthing about this situation. From the Balfour declaration, to the creation of Isreal in 1948, all the intifada, the selttlements in the west bank, the occupation of GAZA. After learning all of that, i was able to form my opinion. People who say is complicated are lying. They just not want you to understand the apartheid and ethnic cleansing that was happening for decades. I'm actually not proud of myself for waiting so long to get the info...

It is so sad that principled and honorable people, like this man, are not in world leadership positions. Instead, power and money hungry narcissists are in those positions 🤦♀️

Do Palestinians, or any other occupied and oppressed population have A RIGHT TO RESIST the oppressors? Everyone continues to repeat that Israel has a right to defend themselves, but when are we going to answer that the Palestinians have a right to forcefully resist land theft and apartheid?! My understanding is that this is a right under international law.

Hats off to you Ta-Nehisi Coates for your courage and principled stand. I wish i could be as courageous to express my concerns with Israeli apartheid more openly. Surely there is anti-semitism and it should be condemned vehemently and equally with other forms of discrimination, oppression, condescension against any groups of people including majority or minority populations. People should set aside their religious, ethnic, nationalistic and geographic tribalism for sake of humanity. I am willing to believe there are complexities in this Israeli-Palestinian business but do hope the Israelis realize the hardship and unfairness they are imposing on the Palestinians. The world understood what the jews endured even if it could not stand up for them as much as the Jews might have liked but certainly the Jews should be the first people to know how that kind of inhumanity feels.

It has been truly scary and mind blowing to me to watch all these politicians hypocrisy and lack of integrity!
