Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka's U.S. policy fellow, said: "This is among the worst footage I've seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal."

Assal Rad, an author with a Ph.D. in Middle East history, said: "Have we ever seen so many war crimes take place right before our eyes? Any country still providing weapons and aid to Israel is complicit in these crimes."

Five groups: don't forget the British/UN, who fucked up the handling of Mandatory Palestine in the first place.

Frankly, I don't think partitioning the Jews and Muslims into separate states was ever going to work and the British should've forced them to deal with each other in a single secular state instead.

British should have put Israel in Germany

Zionism predates the holocaust by several decades. The plan was always to colonize an area of the middle east. The founders of the ideology wished to do so to escape persecution in Europe, and determined that enacting violence on the native population of those regions was acceptable to achieve the end goal.

The British didn't fuck up. It was done exactly as intended and designed by the Zionist movement to give the Israel the strategic leverage to occupy more and more land after the initial partitioning.

That was also a problem, but before that they should've never let Zionists into Palestine or helped them in their settler colonialism nonsense.
