    Biggest mistake is the optics. I mean, when has fighting back against your oppressor ever gotten reported on positively in the news?

    This reminds me of a useful tip: If you ever feel the need to apologize to someone you know was in the wrong; they were abusing you. The language they used in this is a textbook example of how someone acts when they feel like they need to apologize to their abuser.

      Yes, yes, all the Israeli and foreign tourist teens who were raped and murdered on that day obviously were the real oppressors. It was about time someone „fought back“ against those partying teens in particular… that is what you’re implying.

      How about we stop cheering for rape and murder for a moment? Just because Israel is overstepping hard doesn’t mean Hamas terror attack was rightful.

        The iof murdered hundreds of israelis on October 7th by dropping bombs and firing tanks on them. There is literally footage of this you can watch and see for yourself.

        The accusation of mass rapes is another piece of shitty propaganda trotted out by israel to further try to discredit Palestinians and Hamas.

        Why the fuck would people fighting for the freedom of their illegally imprisoned families, children and friends, detour to have a mass rape (and find 40 babies to behead at an outdoor rave), midway through their plan for aquiring folk for the hostage swap and taking them back to Gaza?

        Do you also believe the terrorists called Monday and Tuesday hid their guns in working mri machines? Fucking zionist.

          Citation needed. Sounds like a conspiracy theory.

          Why the fuck would people […]

          Religious fundamentalism.

          Fucking zionist.

          Massacres are wrong. Period. Stating that doesn’t make me a Zionist. Thousands of murders from one side don’t make hundreds of murders from the other side rightful. Massacres are never the right tool for any cause.

          I took a stance against you people cheering for massacres. If you think that this is showing a lack of basic human compassion then all irony is lost on you.

          […] you disgusting liberal pig.

          I will not respond in kind if that is what you were hoping for.

            And I take a stand against liberals like you who think history started on Oct. 7th, 2023.

            If you abuse someone to the point of taking their humanity away and they fight back and kill you, the principle blame is not on the one who killed you.

            Every Israeli must face the fact that their country is a racist apartheid regime that it is in a state of constant fascist war, every Zionist must reckon with the fact that they will sacrifice their bodies to uphold racism. No Israeli was ever safe in Israel but their voices cannot be valued over the Palestinians. What you are doing is perverting the discussion because you are uncomfortable with the idea of the oppressed fighting back.

            Let me put this in a language you can understand in your fragile view of the world, if Jewish prisoners escaped from a concentration camp in Nazi Germany and killed every single guard and kidnapped members of their family as hostages, what would you say to them? Be more civil? See how easily your “concern” falls apart.

              Teen girls and tourists at a musical festival are not Nazi guards from a concentration camp. You forgot that little detail in your speech. I’m pretty certain most of the massacre victims never killed anyone. What you’re suggesting is tribal guilt by association.

                Yes I do think that partying next to an open air concentration camp is grounds for being caught in the crossfire of war and getting killed. Israel is a militant country where mandatory military service is required for all of its citizens, not caring for the well being of Palestinians is a fundamental part of Israeli society, so much so that it led to a company hosting a festival next to Gaza.

                If I wanted to party I wouldn’t do it next to fucking Auschwitz.

      You see it in discussions about the situation as well. People want to negotiate the Palestinians/ Palestinian supporters down, even if they agree with them, because everyone knows Israel isn’t going to budge. A ceasefire is completely out of the question, obviously

      Its frame of reference is Islam, which determines its principles, objectives and means.

      This part isn’t going to sell many people on Hamas. There’s a lot of justification of violence in their text. (Although that could be said about a great number of religious texts).

      However, their demands (page 15) don’t seem too difficult to meet…. As long as they know they aren’t getting any additional land—Israel will never go for that.

        Then Israel must be destroyed completely. This is not a hyperbole, Israel does not deserve to exist. Israel is a paper tiger of US imperialism, it will die when the US is unable to prop up its corpse any longer.

        This part isn’t going to sell many people on Hamas. There’s a lot of justification of violence in their text. (Although that could be said about a great number of religious texts).

        Islamophobia rears its head once again. What’s the other side? A racist, ethno-supremacist apartheid state of barely indistinguishable neo-nazis that’s hellbent on being a US lapdog against the Arab world (and the Global South).

          Justifying Israeli genocide? Most of those people were just born there. Doing their thing. What do you propose happens to them?

            Willfully misinterpreting my words, Israel as a nation state is separate from Israelis.

            Most of those people were just born there. Doing their thing. What do you propose happens to them?

            Live in Palestine as equals or leave the country never to return. Many “Israelis” are settlers who saw the nation as a ripe spot to cozy up while displacing the indigenous Palestinians, they will be the first to flee back to their imperial core. The ones who were born into this mess will be citizens of Palestine rebuilding the country on top of the corpse of Zionists who tried to take it from them and their Palestinian brothers in arms.

            There are Israelis resisting the occupation, unfortunately they are the exception not the rule as nearly all facets of Israeli life is consumed by hatred for Arabs since birth until death.

              It’s hardly willful, you did say they should be destroyed completely. That’s pretty open for interpretation.

              So, let’s say the current government of Israel steps down, and they hold a fair election between everyone to start a new democracy. Borders are gone, no more fighting. The new government rebuilds Gaza. All the citizens of Israel keep their lives under the new system. And religious discrimination and all acts of violence, no matter how you think god feels, becomes a crime — does that work? Did I miss anything?

              Oh, and feel free to kill the former government. Don’t tell them until after haha.

                current government of Israel

                Israeli apartheid stretches far beyond “the current government”, what you advocate for is a total destruction of the Jewish state.

                You also ignore Right of Return for Palestinians as well as other reparations in the West Bank.

                You do not understand Israel and it shows.

                  I said borders are gone. Is that not the right to return? It was to me.

                  As far as reparations, the new government would handle that.

                  It all seems pretty cut and dry to me.
