Settlers will spend years blowing the limbs off of peaceful protesters with sniper rifles and turning apartments full of children into rubble while the world ignores it. When there’s retaliation, the whole world starts crying about how terrorism () and if they were just PEACEFUL (implication that Arabs are not capable of peace without the guiding cracker hand) then people would listen.

Well, if terrorism isn’t effective, why are so many illegal settlers running scared back to ? Why are results being achieved now that were never even a remote possibility with peaceful protests? Perhaps if they don’t want to be opposed violently, settlers shouldn’t violently suppress their victims until every option but terrorism has been eliminated.

The worst argument is the “look at all the Palestinians dying (who would otherwise be fine) because of Hamas” argument. You have to lack the capacity for object permanence to believe this, or have never even heard of the state of Israel before. Either way, shut the fuck up.

New type of guy: angry that lately people are misinterpreting his political stance as anticolonial when he actually just really hates electronica music.

Someone please explain how the settlers holding a music festival on stolen land right next to the giant ghetto their government routinely attempts to liquidate are “innocent civilians”.

Swap “Israeli-Palestinian” with “European-Native American” and it suddenly becomes incredibly obvious to many more people what’s wrong in this situation. It’s convenient to only pay lip service to opposing colonialism in situations where the colonisation is functionally complete and your control will never be threatened.

Uses the word “first”

Does not describe indigenous genocide

Does not describe slavery

The Amerikkkan history understander has arrived.

I hate liberal politics. Israel does not have a “right to defend itself”, colonies don’t even have a right to exist. Every adult Israeli who does not oppose the state of Israel is complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

You’re right, there are only a few. However, I’m surprised and disappointed that there are any at all.

Conflating Jews in Israel with Zionists.

Unfortunately, he does it in this very post.

When people talk about “jews” or “israelis” generally as perpetuating the murder of children, they are engaging in the blood libel trope.

Those two statements (with “jews” vs with “israelis”) are in no way the same. The first is antisemitism, the second is objective fact and the policy of the Israeli state. To conflate the two is antisemitic, and also plays into Israeli propaganda that they are the representatives of Jews and Judaism.

This cannot be allowed to happen. If this happens and we stand by, we are all damned for eternity. Our children will hate us, and they’ll be right.

Israel legally prohibits Gaza from building any water infrastructure without a permit, which must be granted by Israel and almost never is. Additionally, the IDF routinely destroys infrastructure of all kinds in Gaza as a matter of deliberate policy.

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?
