God help them. The slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining

    This thread is an embarrassment, I can’t believe there are people on Hexbear handwringing about violence against settler civilians. Did Native Americans never kill colonizer civilians? Are we going to start condemning the Haitian revolutionaries?

    Israelis are constantly pretending they live in fear of being killed by Palestinian “terrorists”. Have they considered fucking leaving, which is an option the Palestinians don’t even have? No Israeli children would be in a position to be killed in the fighting or held hostage if their colonizer parents hadn’t put them there. These children are victims, but they’re victims of their colonizer parents and colonizer politicians.

    You want to talk about children being held hostage to ensure compliance from adults? How many Palestinian children are there in the open air prison of Gaza, where 2/3 of the population are under 25 years old?

        like I’ve infamously taken really long to add an israel-cool emote with an actual flag (which we now have idf-cool) since burning the star of david makes me feel very icky, but that’s a ways away from actually both-sidesing the conflict/running agitprop for the poor brooklynite settlers settlers lea-tired

    Liberals talking about Hamas: They are all Islamic extremists, it doesn’t matter how much Palestinians think they need their help.

    Liberals talking about Ukrainian nazis: But they’re being attacked! They need all the help they can get!

    The Israelis have the power to end the political and economic conditions (which they created and maintain) which lead to violence

    The Palestinians do not

    If you’re saddened or angered by the deaths of Israeli civilians, you can take those complaints straight to the Israeli government. Any handwringing about violence committed by the Palestinians is de facto support for the illegal occupation of Palestinian land and the apartheid state of Israel.

        I think it doesn’t help to turn the focal core of what you’re upset with to that, in this moment. Yeah, it sucks. But tell me why I should look a Palestinian 8-year old in the eye and tell them their parents deserved to be tortured and killed. A tiger is backed into a corner and stabbed repeatedly, and swipes out with its claws — if you’re unhappy with who it hits, let’s root for the tiger to liberate itself so there isn’t a need for any swiping. And let’s also be upset with the assholes who would put their children in the way of a cornered tiger as a means of controlling it

        Tell me why I should look an 8-year old Israeli kid in the eye and tell them they deserve what’s coming to them

        Not in the least what I said, but if you need a reason, it’s a pretty funny thing to go around doing

    Liberals when Ukraine is flying swastikas: I SLEEP

    Liberals when Palestinians have not only a moral but legally justified under international law war to defend themselves and push out colonizers: REAL SHIT ?

    Disgusting beyond words seeing liberals treat Palestinians like they are cattle to be transported and slaughtered at will by Israel, and that this is a preferable state to be in compared to the obvious alternative of Israel switching into committing an immediate genocide.

    I can only scarcely begin to imagine what the lives of the people of Gaza feels like, and how they think about their situation on a day to day basis.

    But the alternatives here seem clear, either they win, or Israel crosses a line that forces external intervention, or just the entire world is either actively supportive of or passively accepting of the death of every single Palestinian living under occupation, and if the last thing is true, then what do you possibly do with that?

    The cattle option is not a non-genocidal conclusion either, and is already proven beyond doubt that the rest of the world finds it tolerable.
