Just so everyone knows, they did lead a peaceful march a few years back and the Israelis shot thousands and thousands of them.

    And Israel lost no legitimacy over it, the international media either treated it as business like usual, those rowdy middle easterners just failing to get along, or straight up told Palestinians that they had no right to protest like that and that every single civilian was actually either a willing or stupid human shield for cloaked hamas agents, there to attack the IDF.

    These doorknobs don't care

    They somehow think they'll be the ones to come up with a workable solution for this which doesn't involve violence, while some of them even acknowledge that the US establishment is completely backing Israel and completely fine with Palestine being wiped out of existence

    The Palestinians should offer themselves to the butcher's knife. They should throw themselves into the sea from cliffs. It would arouse the world and the people of Israel.

    Beat me to it. Easy to say other people should just lay down and die I guess.

    For context, here’s the original quote:

    An actual Holocaust reference

    Hitler killed five million [sic] Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs.....It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany.... As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions.

    Yes, imagine...

    Although this year’s event passed by without any violence, Land Day in Gaza in past years has erupted in clashes at the border fence with Israel

    In 2018, Palestinians in Gaza used the day to begin a series of mass protests dubbed the Great March of Return, which lasted two years.

    The protests saw major bloodshed with more than 260 Palestinians killed, mostly by Israeli sniper fire.

    Nearly 7,000 others were shot and wounded, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

    Also, post the link you coward!

    unarmed children getting hit from 300 meters. IOF snipers were having competitions to see how many Palestinian knees they could destroy, just intentionally maiming people

    I knew that the IDF has a pre-set kill limit. Knowing that, I sent waves and waves of unarmed women and children at the Israelis until they exceeded their limit and shut down.

    They already tried that in 2018 and it got them shot by israelis. Also didnt israel killed their own pm (who himself is still fucking brutal and did war crimes) who tried some sort of compromise that heavily favors israel?

    Even if by some magic they didn't get shot doing their nonviolent march, the Israelis don't fucking care, and you are never never going to make them.

    Go talk to them, they literally couldn't care less.

    Just march through the sniper fire because you're invincible climb the fence because destroying property is bad, and walk past the tanks, don't worry about them.

    That will surely delegitimise Israel. It's not like their snipers have been shooting people nowhere near the fence just for fun for literally years with this fucking lib not even caring is it?

    Real cosmic justice would be the Mossad hunting this guy down for agreeing with the breaking down of the fence.

    Last time I saw someone say this in a Hexbear comment I went and checked, and the poster was in fact 16 years old.

    This time I checked, the poster is an editor for Jacobin and a grown ass man.
