Antoinette Lattouf Instagram – For everyone saying this is a “complex” conflict. I’ve broken it down in 1 minute.
(You’re welcome)
1. You can and should conndemn both Hamas and the Israeli government — both are extremists.
2. You can and should mourn civilian deaths — no matter who they are. Each innocent life lost is a a tragedy.
3. You can and should condemn anti-Arab, and anti-Semitic sentimiment. Hate is hate.
4. You can’t “all sides” the rest. You can and should condemn illegal military occupation of Palestine that’s been happening for 75 years.
5. You can and should remember human rights organisation internationally and in Israel have called the occupation “apartheid”.
6. You can and should remember that the UN has called for an end to ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
7. You can and should know that it is a war crime to cut off food, water and electricity to civilians in Gaza – women, babies and the elderly.
8. You can and should remember the celebrities and influencers here and abroad who took an interest when Jewish people were senselessly killed, and posted support — but have previously and will continue — to say nothing about apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Arabs killed in such large numbers, agencies struggle to even count the dead.
9. You can and should speak out against the occupation of Palestine — because that is the root of all of this.
10. You can and should know that unless the occupation of Palestine comes to an end — the pain, suffering and bloodshed will continue.
Note: comments off to limit hate speech. Please be kinder and more compassionate to one another.
