Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 13hThe world will support & protect Israel? Based on what? Never seen it happen. Been following since the 70s. They had a big chance on Oct 8th. Genocide is about intent. The intent is to prevent future massacres promised by Hamas. 350+ miles of tunnels, weapons & fighters & planners have to go. 200
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 13h500 US citizens detained by ICE. Can anyone say how all this detaining and deportation has impacted them in a positive way? Did you or anyone you know get a job they left that pays the bills? Is it easier to get a job now? Prices going down? Do you feel any safer? 010
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 20hMedia used to be more forthcoming with stated intentions & violent actions of Palestinians. Now they downplay the massacre, promised future massacres, & the dangers of Hamas. It matters if you don't know about the tunnel network, hiding weapons in civilian spaces, & staying mixed in with civilians. 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 20hJust like in the US, Israelis with different views have the freedom to criticize what the government does and not get killed, which Hamas will do to those who oppose them. It's too bad that Israelis who helped Gazans get jobs, med care, and advocated for them, were betrayed and killed on Oct 7th. 200
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 20hKnowing living breathing Israelis, I know they would rather be living a normal life than fighting a war, without knowing what it will take to prevent more Israelis from being picked off or massacred. No Palestinian is saying what they will accept. They always reject and initiate more violence. 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 20hMany in the GOP camp didn't believe Raffensperger when he debunked claims that the 2020 election was stolen because they trusted their leaders & media and all they repeated daily. Even if I listed sources, I don't think you'd consider any argument showing the story you've been given is distorted. 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 20hWho runs this source? Do all their posts demonize Israel? Did this really happen? Was important info left out? Were these really only fisherman or also Hamas fighters, leaders, planners? When media fails to tell you the strategies & actions of Hamas, you don't know that they hide among civilians. 500
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So if 1200 of your neighbors were massacred & the group promised more massacres, kept weapons in an underground tunnel network & civilian spaces, killed anyone who oppose them, you'd be okay with your forces doing nothing, letting them continue to pick you off & carry out more massacres. Got it. 311
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Sudanese, Rohingya, Uigyhers, Haitians, Yemenis, Ukrainians, and others in conflicts around the world want to know how to get you to protest and send aid to them. 121
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 23/09/2026These groups hold Israel to a standard they don't hold any other country to. They have a history of demonizing it. Why do we hear Israelis criticize Israelis? Because they can. Americans criticize Americans. If Gazans & Palestinians want to stay alive, they have to watch what they say about Hamas. 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 22/09/2026No innocent fleas build 350 miles of tunnels to store & move weapons. Promised massacres haven't been retracted. No Palestinian with clout is talking peace. There is no Ahmed Gandhi King. No world leaders are demanding anything from them. Who is your expert source on urban warfare with tunnels? 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Seems you want to deny the ongoing existence of Hamas, its PROMISE of future massacres, with its 350 miles of tunnels with appx 5700 exit shafts, to move weapons & fighters around undetected, stay near Gazans used as human shields, 1200 shot, slit, tortured, raped, burned, 250 kidnapped on Oct 7th. 320

Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Trump and Hegseth say all kinds of whacko things. And many leaders in the Middle East use this kind of tone. Tired of narrative justification masquerading as reporting. Is there a poll saying if Israelis agree? Will we ever be able to step out of our tribal enforced narratives again? Maybe not. :( 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 27/08/2026And therefore what? The real questions ignored are why reporters hide violent tactics by Hamas & Palestinians? Why isn't Israel allowed to prevent future promised massacres? Are Russians in danger because of the war with Ukraine? Chinese in danger for how they treat Uigyhers? Etc. 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Russia had miles of tunnels to move weapons in a tight urban area? Russians didn't allow civilians to flee? Russians had their command centers in civilian buildings, and stayed near civilians? Did the world demand that Ukraine supply Russians with aid? 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 17/08/2026It's belonging, not stupidity. To belong to the group you need to buy into the narratives. 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 17/08/2026The poll should have asked what form fighting would take. Yelling at Republicans on youtubes? Going on news shows wearing wrestling outfits?

Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Would love a list of all he REALLY supports so I don't have to wonder when media is exaggerating, fabricating, picking silly examples. 010
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Hamas was elected to help Gazans. Instead they built 350 miles of tunnel networks to smuggle & move weapons around Gaza, move themselves undetected, booby trap buildings. They kill Gazans who oppose them & stay close to Gazans using them as human shields. The IDF or the US army would never do that. 310
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 11/08/2026So Israelis should be noble & allow themselves to have rockets shot at them regularly, have bombs go off in buses & pizza places sometimes, & be on permanent alert for future promised massacres as destroying tunnels, weapons & getting to fighters who shield themselves with Gazans, kills too many? 200
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 11/08/2026There is NO country where all people of multiple ethnicities are treated totally equally. 200
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 11/08/2026It's hard to have a discussion in short snippets. The West Bank & Gaza are in (prebuzzword) disputed territory, not in Israel. If Israel could trust that Palestinians wouldn't shoot rockets, suicide bomb, build tunnel networks & fill them with weapons, or massacre, we'd be in a different place. 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Do you believe the stories about the 2020 election being stolen? Even when Raffensperger debunked the claims, many still trust the narrative they were fed. Genocide is intent. The intent is to prevent future promised massacres. Israelis can't ignore years of initiated violence. What's changed? 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Both groups have ties to the land. The mosque was plopped on top of the 2nd Temple. There were Jews before Muslims existed. Before the Arab Conquest of 634 or something like that. Jews have lived in Jerusalem & Hebron forever. Israel was never totally empty of Jews. 200
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The 2 million Arab Israeli citizens who are descendants of the Muslims that stayed in 48 have equal rights. What's the difference between them? Nonstop initiated violence & refusal to compromise. Send me links to the Palestinian peace group. Before buzzwords, the land was called disputed territory. 130
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026When you know people who have been killed or injured by these attacks, you know it has nothing to do with brainwashing. 200
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Read old papers about all the wars, rockets, suicide bombs & other initiated violence on Israelis by Palestinians. Nothing has been said or happened, that show this would change if Israel left. Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, & got 350 miles of tunnels & a brutal massacre. 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Jews were indigenous there too. Before the Romans, Christian crusaders, and the Arab Conquest. More Jews today in Israel are from the Middle East, from the 700,000 kicked out of Arab Muslim countries in 48. Guess it depends on when you start the clock. 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Back that up please. Individuals of different backgrounds owned tracts of land. Not only Arabs. The land was ruled by Ottomans, then Brits. Arabs did plop their mosque on top of the 2nd Temple some time after they took came through to take over from someone else. What is your cut off time? 100
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026When was the land called Palestine under "Palestinian" rule? It was the BRITISH mandate of Palestine. Before that, it was in the Ottoman Empire. Then the UN planned for 2 countries. BOTH groups had ties to the land. Always some Jews in the land. Did Jordan & Egypt occupy parts from 48-67? 110
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Both sides have to be willing to stay at the table. Point to evidence that Palestinians will stop initiating violence & agree to living side by side peacefully. Hamas promises more massacres. They have to be taken seriously. 551
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Omission matters. Please read some newspapers published at the times of the 48 war, the 67 war, articles in the 60s about the PLO, Google Israel & the 3 no's, see Ehud Olmert's offer at Oslo, because Palestinians refused offer after offer & stormed out instead of making realistic counter offers. 551
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Who might be worried? Americans who have been attacked physically and verbally because they belong to a certain group, those whose businesses have been boycotted or defaced, who might not get contracts, jobs, etc because as usual it's not about the foreign country, it's about the religion/people. 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Clearly it works Demonizing a group brings people together. Many GOP think ICE is fine as undocumented are getting what they deserve because they did something illegal. They imagine many are vicious. If you think Hamas won't carry out future promised massacres, you can say it's no longer defense. 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 03/08/2026So sad the Dem party has to use demonizing Israel as a main way to get everyone on the same page. Couldn't agree on Medicare 4 All. Gaza would still be as it was on Oct 6th, if Hamas had done its job of improving Gazan lives instead of planning to attack Israel & using Gazans as human shields. 200
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 26/07/2026If reporters omit, dismiss & downplay, the brutal massacre of 1200, kidnapping of 250, years of initiated violence by Palestinians, rocket fire, Hamas's tactics & promises of future massacres & the tunnel network moving weapons throughout Gaza, why would you think Israel needs to defend itself? 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Hierarchy. How can I be sure I'll be first in line for whatever water or food is available when there is a drought or famine? And don't we use any tool, any advantage to get the leadership role, a job, a slot on a team, a seat in the special program, to get ahead of companies in the same industry? 010
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 21/07/2026As long as there are enough doctors and other service providers that take Medicaid. Not everyone lives in a big city. 000
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 16/07/2026In 2005 when Israelis left Gaza, Palestinians could have chosen to make Gaza a stable, productive territory,(they had money) but they chose to build tunnels, smuggle weapons, carry out a massacre of 1200 in 1 day & take 250 hostages. Imagine what Gaza could have been like if they put Gazans first. 300
Bea @bea2u.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Muslim Brotherhood played the long game & it's working. Qatar funds universities, journalists learn a narrative & now Hamas regardless of the incriminating video they proudly put together, are seen as victims not the vicious terrorists shown in the video. Qatar is now probably funding the Dems. 010
