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

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.
Is it hand-wringing to feel upset at civilians being taken hostage? 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
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
Yeah so funny to tell a child they deserved to be hurt
Yes, imagining you going around and telling random Israeli children that is quite funny to me
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
“Your parents sacrificed you to their blood machine.”
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
Al Jazeera just reported an air raid on Gaza.
Stealing a comment from someone in the news mega
We have entered a week where decades happen
Biden says this is “unprovoked”. The USA is a nation of lies.
usians are the most propagandized people on earth
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
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?
Agreed. However I think there are only a few apartheid apologists in this thread and the vast majority have the correct line on the struggle for Palestine liberation. They should be banned though
You’re right, there are only a few. However, I’m surprised and disappointed that there are any at all.
May the evil terrorist state of Israel be erased from the face of this earth and Palestine be free to thrive as a nation.
god i feel sick. 198 palestinians reported dead already, compared to 40 israelis killed in the initial attack. this is only going to get worse, and ghouls on twitter are naturally saying they want to bomb gaza back into the stone age
What’s left to bomb? Fucking cretins may still well just take the mask off and say they want Palestinians wiped off the face of the earth.
Raise your hand if you have not already heard an Israeli say this though
Oh Zionists for sure. Just disgusting seeing libs and “leftists” say shit like this.
I dont understand settlers, mfers volunteer to leave their comfortable aparterments in brooklyn to steal and live in someone else house in a desert. Like wtf is wrong with them.
all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense

Western “leftists” showing their whole ass. I’ve got a nice luxury resort for genocide apologists right here
Ukraine and Israel are going to show how utterly spineless and compromised the “Eat the Rich” crowd truly are.
Uncritical support for the brave people of Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸✊✊✊✊
Netanyahu has just said live on television that they will ‘turn Gaza into a deserted island’.
I’m hearing very indirectly along grapevines that among Israelis, including liberals, the mood is becoming - and I quote verbatim - “kill them all”.

Back in the late 80s Israel chose to support what became Hamas to oppose the secular left of the PLO. Blowback is a bitch.
Future season of Blowback in the making. Of course it would have to be after Israel falls

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!
Ukraine is a heckin’ smol bean nazi who needs our epic G*mer help!
Freaking smurfs IRL
Gee I wonder what’s different
