4. The hate was always there, Oct. 7th gave Israelis "permission" to release it.

Like Charlie Kirk gave MAGA the "moral" permission to come after the left.

A country cannot brutally and illegally occupy an entire people for nearly 6 decades without learning to hate and dehumanize. Its people could not stand the dissonance and moral unease otherwise. The cost, though, is moral decay of their own society. It's been happening long before Oct. 7th.

Genocide and ethnic cleansing was the only way this could have ever ended.

We were always told that Palestinians wanted to drive Israelis into the sea, erase Israel's existence, etc. Not many realized that was in fact pure projection. Those of us that did were ridiculed and smeared. There is a whole system and power structure that worked very hard to make sure that the gaslighting and projection worked and people remained oblivious.

I don't know anymore what else can be said. Israel is now erasing even the memory of Gaza and will do the same to the West Bank. No more Palestinians..
