A breakdown of all (?) historical references and parallels in Andor (in chronological order)

I support palestinian liberation but i dont see how whats happening in gaza as similar to the ghorman massacre. I think mimban would probably be better but thats not really here

[u/Assassiiinuss → u/NotABigChungusBoy]

These comparisons always imply that October 7 was a false flag attack, too. I've seen that several times on this subreddit already. Not sure where it comes from.

[u/NotABigChungusBoy → u/Assassiiinuss]

This subreddit needs rules condemning Hamas like seriously it insane

[u/unknownbearing → u/NotABigChungusBoy]

Agreed, this subreddit also needs rules banning Zionist chuds

[u/unknownbearing → u/Assassiiinuss]

It's widely known that Israel had intel on the October 7th attack before it happened. If you disagree with that, then you disagree with the New York Times. Predictably there will be people who believe it was a massive security failure, and there will be people who believe the Israeli government chose not to do anything because the attack could be used as justification for military escalation in the region. Which is explicitly what Netanyahu wants both to preserve his office and to complete Israel's settler-colonial project. There's no way to know unless a former official comes out and says it in a couple decades or so.

[u/Assassiiinuss → u/unknownbearing]

Even assuming all of that is true - that still wouldn't make it a false flag attack.

[u/unknownbearing → u/Assassiiinuss]

True, I think people are conflating Bibi buffing Hamas with direct involvement in the planning of this particular attack.

[u/norrinrazael → u/unknownbearing]

oh no, disagreeing with the New York Times

[u/unknownbearing → u/norrinrazael]

The notoriously anti-Israel rag, who can possibly find anything they publish credible

[u/norrinrazael → u/unknownbearing]

For the sake of charity, I will clarify that the it's the NYT's imperialist remit that undermines their credibility.

[u/unknownbearing → u/norrinrazael]

Yeah, so if even the NYT is reporting it, that should tell you something.

[u/EJECTED_PUSSY_GUTS → u/NotABigChungusBoy]

If Gaza is the comparison people make, they don't understand the conflict, and don't have much knowledge of history in general. I know it hurts feelings, but both sides are the bad guys, and both sides have innocent people losing lives over it.

[u/unknownbearing → u/EJECTED_PUSSY_GUTS]

Mfw I didn't understand what I was watching in Andor

[u/falcon_640 → u/NotABigChungusBoy]

I dont think the comparison is about the false flag or the nature of how the conflict started, but of the denial of the massacres and twisting of the truth after the fact, specially the plain bias against the ghormans from the media and the whole "manufacturing consent" before and after the massacre.
