Placing the blame where it belongs

Not Nethanyahu, not Hamas, its Israeli society which is the guilty party for everything that's going on.

Nethanyahu is the product of the uncontested fascism that pervaded that society since its inception.

Hamas is the product of the level of vileness that society condoned & incentivised since this settler colony's birth thru ethnic cleansing.

Those trying to push the blame onto Nethanyahu by making this disingenuous argument

Israeli are victims of Nethanyahu

Gazans are victims of Hamas

are simply trying to give cover for the rotten culture & crimes normalised in that rotten society (yes thats what it is now).

Its true that State, Capital, Fascism, Empire, and other intersecting systems of domination are responsible too, but those cannot take away the guilt of society that consciously chosing to dehumanise & dispossess.

NOTE:

Since my argument has the likelihood of being misconstrued as something else, I just want to emphasise, a society doesn't imply every person in society. I am only speaking about what a large section of tolerates & perpetuates.

Every society has good & bad people, but when speak about societies we are speaking about the dominant culture, never individuals — as I am sure there are many good people even in a society as rotten as Israel.

Our society is quite rotten (closeted-Israel) & we are as capable of & in some places are as rotten as them — as we are no different, but we are not yet at their level only due to historical coincidence, not because non-Israeli societies are any better. We all are vulnerable to the same pulls & pushes of societies we inhabit.
