Gaza Beach 2030

I just got banned from r/askbrits for responding to someone saying they didn't see why Israel or Palestine was relevant to British politics, and I commented that Britain helped create Israel. I was instantly banned

Mods there must be so afraid to get their subs nuked by Reddit corp, they ban basic, undisputed historical facts.
- So ridiculous. I didn't think I was saying anything controversial at all.

Note: this comic was first published Feb 8 2025, shortly after Trump made his "Riviera of the Middle East" comments. The comic just won a prize, which is probably why it was reposted now, but the context is relevant.

:(

People greatly overestimate how much we, as a species, care about atrocities. The reality is that once they're over, we move on. Actually even when they're going on, the overwhelming majority of people don't and won't care because it doesn't affect them. This will never change, that's just the way we are.

Think about it, how many of you still care about how ISIS genocided the Yazidis or that Azerbaijan ethnic cleansed Armenians out of Artsakh? The answer is probably none. Even if you cared at the time, now you don't care. Maybe that's too far away, have you ever thought about how the land you live on right now was built on bloodshed? Probably not, but even if you did, you think of the violence as something in the distant past. The violence becomes an interesting historical fact rather than a persisting injustice.

This will be the case here too. After what is happening in Gaza right now comes to end, people will move on, and with time people will quickly accept the new reality and treat what happened as just another chapter in history. The kid in this comic strip will grow up to think that it's cool that he went on a vacation with his family to a place that had such a wild historical event take place.

Nobody will move on until we purge the genociders out of society
I think America very much got conditioned out of being the “world police”. Bad guy doing bad things 30,000 miles away? What are we supposed to do it? Dive into our military industrial complex and give a heavy tax bill to fix it?
The thing is, as someone in a privileged position, I’d argue the answer is yes. But I have to accept that lots of people say no, both for financial reasons, and for fears of having our military everpresent everywhere, even if they’re trying to do good.
But while spending might not make sense…spending to CREATE a genocide is a far more horrible thing that goes against everything I stand for.
Part of me wants to invest the US army into attacking Israel for its human rights abuses. I’m much more settled for a passive approach where the US at least stops helping them.
Of course, then the issue gets murkier when circumstances make the claim that most of these conflicts are in some way caused by actions of the big 3 empires.
- The problem with the concept of a world police is that it's a political thing, not a law and order thing.
  A political world police is just as good as a political regular police would be.
  Imagine, police would just do whatever the majority are saying instead of, you know, using evidence to get someone before a judge and continue to use evidence to get someone convicted or alternatlively let people go free where there's no evidence.
  ICE is pretty much what a political police looks like, and the US as the world police acted just like that.
  Remember 911? Attacking Afghanistan might have maybe been somewhat justified, but attacking Irak, mostly because US troops were already there was totally not.
  The "world police" was certainly not a successful thing and certainly not in regards to world peace. More often than not it was used to score points for the next national election.
Fuck, the Syrian barbaric ISIS headchopper they shaved and put in a suit is now welcomed to the UN by the western regimes that backed this proxy mass-murderer.
It's the governments whitewashing them, not the people.
I will never forget what that scumbag did, or those israeli monsters.
- I actually lived in Syria for 3 years under the Al Assad regime. Nobody, and I mean nobody, misses him in Syria. Al Assad and his regime were pure evil. He had to go, and the country is better off for it. That being said, most Syrians aren't thrilled about Al Sharaa and his new regime. A lot of Syrians are still optimistic about the future, but it's looking like Syria isn't exactly free, just under new management.
This is what original sin means. The sins of our fathers, mothers, and nonbinary parents are passed onto us when we benefit from those sins, from that stolen wealth. It's not enough to embrace Jesus Christ as your saviour, you must also cleanse yourself of colonisation and racism. That's why I'm learning the language of the first nations who lived on the land I stand on, and fighting for their rights in the present. This sacrifice of our time, effort, and in some cases identity is required in order to be saved and enter the Lord's kingdom.
- LOL
- We are saved by grace alone, not works

That's… I mean… is it optimism? Somehow it is, right?

Nope

- Oh, it's a hint towards that fascist fuck idea.
This is similar to how the hunger games ends. Generations of people suffered and died in the meadows where little kids could now play in peace.
In this case of the comic it's tourists discovering a mass grave of people that used to live where they are vacationing so yeah changes the tone a bit
It's fun for all ages! (or whatever slogan makes the most money) /s

Needs a Trump tower to be accurate.

plus jared Kushner, HUSBAND to trumps busty daughter whom he lusts after, has some real estate investment in gaza.
