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.

Biden says this is “unprovoked”. The USA is a nation of lies.

This is one of their EZ mode lies where you can safely just mentally replace any utterance of ‘unprovoked’ by US officials with ‘influenced by decades of unrelenting provocation that we have been committedlty supportive of, if not the principle actors behind’

I wonder just how much more provocation is necessary for libs to accept that violent retaliation is justified.

They’ll just keep insisting that Palestinians only use non-violence, refuse to look at what happens when they do, and then go right back to chanting Slava Ukraini

To be fair to Biden, he might be having an episode and confused Ukraine and Palestine.

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?

I have nothing but unwavering support for the Palestinian people, but watching this is like watching John Brown pick up the sword and march on Harpers Ferry. Nothing but the noblest motive but I can’t imagine this ending remotely well. May God be with all Palestinians today, they’ll need him

Same, nothing but support for the freedom fighters, but I am sick thinking of the brutal vengeance I know Israel will mete out
