Firstly they did not even know that musical festival was taking place.
Why does this matter. Would Israels reaction be different? They wanted to genocide from the beginning.
Secondly they are not “civilians” they are settlers illegally occupying Palestinian land. With the understanding that they would be protected by their government.
They are evil fascists, but that doesn't make them combatants.
lastly they are not a “religious extremist organization” even if they once had been.
Do you have a source on this? I am open to changing my position on this.
So here you are legitimizing violence of a settler colonial ethnostate as “self defense” That statement is very broad.
I am legitimizing specific violence of a settler colonial ethnostate as “self defense”. I think they are in their right to dismantle Hamas using violence. But what they have done has far surpassed that. I think Israel has the ability to arrest/kidnap and try high ranking members of Hamas. I think that would be a reasonable response to October 7th. But they did the worst possible thing and I don't condone that.
I was far too generous before. I wish the same upon you as I do on the IDF.
Oh yeah, my belief that Israel is a fascist genocidal state surely makes me morally equivalent to IDF. These nuanced replies I am making is like I am out there killing Palestinian babies my self. Sure!
Upon reading this again, this is the most ridiculous part. Undiluted liberalism is the only ideology that could lead someone to say this and apparently not consider whether they might be wrong about the groups opposing this genocidal state.
Glad you were able to be NuAnCeD and condemn the fascist state with overwhelming firepower as well as the barely-adult lifelong prisoners desperately fighting against it. That's very brave and clever of you.
Edit: Actually, I'm not even sure this user's point is that Hamas is "bad" so much as "Israel" had the so-called right to punish them for "October 7th" which is an even more deranged thing to think if you claim to believe that Israel is a fascist genocidal state. Why would that state have any "rights" at all, especially to punish those rising up against it?
The only belief that makes this make sense would be that "Israel" never would have been a fascist genocidal state without "October 7th", which is obviously contradicted by the description of it as a "settler colonial ethnostate". Totally incoherent, and gets worse the more you scrutinize it. It's almost a work of art.
Which is exactly why I shared it with you piggies I got home from work and looked at my inbox and saw a reply that was removed by db0 mods and the user banned and I knew whatever it was was going to be incredibly cursed.
