Bulldozing peoples' homes after forcing them into an open-air prison and then throwing a rave twenty feet from the fence is a war crime and should not be normalized, but here we are.

And I am with you on that take. The settling policy and apartheid regime wasn't right. But that doesn't make killing tourists on a music festival any better.

No, please tell me more about how this attack is comparable to a brutal genocidal occupation that has been going on for generations. How little do you value Palestinian lives to make this calculation?

Two wrongs don't make a right. I despise the settling policies of Israel the same way most other people and governments in the west do.

Should Palestinians have a revolution against their oppressors?

What should it look like?

[–] GenEcon@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Attack the military, not civilians.

[–] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

Palestinians need better military intel and equipment, I agree

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Civilians or settlers…

I agree that Israel committing two wrongs does not put them in the right. Settlers shouldn't live on contested land and act surprised when it becomes a war zone.

act surprised ~~when it becomes a war zone~~.

when it reverts back to being an active war zone*

And your response is the same as those people and governments. You blame the victims, wring your hands over their response to a violent occupation and give cover to the settlers by both-sidesing the situation

Wait are you saying western governments despise the Israeli occupation?
