Karma is when we contribute to the environment, and thus have to live in that environment. Israel has used their disproportionate position of power to enforce their will, without compromise. They use their power to then aggressively punish any resistance.

Without regard to ethics or fairness, backed by the American empire, Israel embraces the nihilistic doctrine, might makes right. Israel shows no respect for their opposition as equals, or as human beings, but dangerous pests to be crushed.

Power dynamics in the world are always changing. Those on top never get to stay there. When they find their adversaries one day strong enough to stand against them, they will do so in the cold brutal world they've created.

I used to stand with Israel. I used to believe all the west's drivel vilifying Palestinians and their leadership. Israel was brutal and oppressive because they had to be.

 

For me, the turning point was the Great March of Return, where Israeli snipers gunned down thousands of unarmed protesters in Gaza, including medics and journalists, that I realized, Israel is a monstrous evil waging perpetual war. A tool of western imperialism, our military foothold in the middle east. All the bombs, the bulldozers, the apartheid and blockade - none of it is about necessity, but domination and oppression of the indigenous population and their neighbors.

Israel has no right to defend itself, because Israel is the aggressor. A bully does not have the right to murder someone for standing up to the bullying. It is the Palestinian people who have a right to defend themselves. Even against impossible odds and certain death, I stand with those who fight back.
