Communist China had the Great Leap Forward and cultural revolution, and its economy grew rapidly when it started introducing market reforms

This video isn’t about Marxism, it’s about Marx’s criticism of capitalism. You can learn from his diagnosis even if you reject his prescribed cure.

- the text you yourself posted says they were willing to accept a two state solution, not acknowledging Israel’s right to exist is simply because they just don’t want to agree that how Israel got the land was justified and don’t want to end up like the PLO which did acknowledge it and got nowhere. - the whole point of negotiations is to speak from positions of strength and verify agreements, no one is saying to trust them - israel had kept Gazans inside a cage for over a decade now, purposefully weakened the PLO while expanding settlements, and were trying to normalize with Saudi Arabia. Hamas saw the writing on the wall that israel was trying to just ignore Palestinians and get normalization with the muslim world potentially dooming them to never being free, so they attacked to interrupt the process. It wasn’t messianic.

How do you know that?

Because Israelis have legal rights and are armed so they can defend themselves, so Palestinian attempts to expand would be too costly. Currently Israelis expand because Palestinians are largely defenseless legally and militarily so they gain benefits by seizing their land.

Because they benefit from expansion, the Palestinians wouldn’t.

Then they’ll lose support of Palestinians who now have a better option

You don’t legally have a right to take the homes of someone else just because the Bible says people of your religion lived there 2000 years ago. If I find proof my ancestors lived in my neighbors house, I can’t just grab a rifle and kick him and his family out and take it claiming it is mine. Even if we accept your logic, genetic evidence shows Palestinians have more DNA relation to the original Levant inhabitants, they are closer in relation to the people who lived there 2000 years ago.

He’s talking like a hamas member, he just switched sides.

Except Jews lived peacefully all over the Middle East including in Palestine prior to Zionism in Muslim countries for centuries. So the idea all Muslims just want to kill all non Muslims is laughably wrong as they didn’t do it that entire time, including when Muslim countries hosted Jews escaping the crusades and inquisition. Violence in Palestine towards Jews only began because revolutionary Jews started flooding in to colonize Palestine and were already committing violent acts such as Deir Yassin before any Arab army invaded. The Quran doesn’t say to kill all infidels, in fact it lists Christian and Jews specifically as people of the book and a protected class. Gazans supporting Oct 7 has nothing to do with Israelis being infidels and everything to do with them keeping 2 million people in a giant prison for decades. Somehow you think it’s reasonable for you to support violent ethnic cleansing of Palestinians who did nothing to you, but are shocked and offended if some Palestinians support violence towards Israel which expelled them from their homes, blockaded them inside Gaza, and launched periodic bombardments so vicious the majority of children have PTSD and lead poisoning and most don’t have access to clean water, all the while still refusing to free them. The person who supports killing an entire population here is not Palestinians, it is you, who defends the genocide of Palestinians because they are Muslims. You are what you accuse them of being.
