Obviously I've shortened what's being said majorly (it's a 4 minute clip), but I can't believe she actually responded like this to her.
What an absolutely awful person; I realize they have to set the narrative but you're talking to an actual human being who's lost so many members of their family in a horrific manner and who was suffering PTSD from the horrors of living in Gaza under the occupation, are you actually this psychotic or are you just following a set plan that rigidly? Considering she only got one sentence out I'm inclined to believe there's a list of talking points to follow but she realized she couldn't keep down that path without seeming any more of an actual monster.
"What did you think would happen?"
Fucking blood boiling. Saying "of course Israel was going to commit genocide, what did you expect?" as if that's a criticism of Hamas and not Israel's insane racism and bloodthirst.
If you didn't want to get genocided, you shouldn't have tried to fight back against getting genocided.
Fanon talks about how colonizers dehumanize themselves when they dehumanize the colonized and we see this play out in this conflict. Hamas is blamed for Israel wildly lashing out and commiting war crimes and engaging in genocide because Zionists dehumanize themselves into monsters, even as they dehumanize Palestinians into animals. In this way, Zionists see themselves as blameless because they're not human.
This reminds me a little of how bell hooks talks about men first being demanded by the patriarchy to do violence against themselves, to not relate to others on a basis of mutuality but something closer to a predator/prey relationship. Perhaps this is a common feature for social majority populations.
Where did Fanon talk about this?
The Wretched of the Earth, he talks about how the colonozed reclaim their humanity through struggle, but he also talks about how colonizers imagine themselves as inhuman gods and how anticolonial struggle rehumanizes them by bringing them back down to Earth.
My spin, that the colonizers are monsters, is editorializing.
Its so telling that they lead every news piece with "HAMAS Oct 7th".
It's when history started.
It's the first chapter in their book of of blood.
Hamas deserve to win I don't give a single shit about what these settler bastards think
Can we just make '10-7' like a code for victim blaming?
we've got an active 10-7 in progress
she doesn't run Hamas
Fuck I dont think I've ever even known 30 family members

It's odd how they hate when you turn that logic around. What did they think was going to happen when they locked two million people in a concentration camp and refused them the basic resources they needed to improve their lives nonviolently?
are you actually this psychotic or are you just following a set plan that rigidly?
It was so out of the narrative she's being paid to sell that she didn't want to get fired by going off script.
