If I explained to you ghettos are horrific and violate human rights, because as one example among so many other issues we would likely agree on, they strip a people of their right to fair elections and representation in the determination of their future.
And that the fact that Palestinians have not been free to organize, form new political parties and campaign in safe and uncoerced elections is a direct violation of their rights and the party to answer and blame for this is the one occupying them and preventing this from happening…
What are we disagreeing about?
What I disagree with is that an election an entire generation before the present that people alive never voted in should not be held up to represent their current politics and beliefs as a nation.
If you care about the rights of Gazans then the ultimate right is the right of self determination and a right to life. So in that sense you should critically support Hamas in the Palestinian struggle against the settler-colonizers. You want pretty elections in an apartheid ghetto. How about they not have an apartheid ghetto and be integrated into a democratic process? Again, in order to do that they must not be under siege for decades…
What’s a good faith argument for a ghetto/prison?
What? There aren’t any?
