every single one; when I see a shitty tel aviv influencer join the IDF, I look forward to them being exploded by heroic Hamas resistance fighters; I pray constantly for their violent death

    Personally, my personal policy has always been don’t directly tighten the bolts by working for a company that does. I understand that we can’t go around holding a trial for the inventor of the screw because they’re used in everything, not just weaponry. But I can pretty comfortably say, anyone who works directly for the US military and accompanying industrial complex deserves no forgiveness. The engineers and workers at raytheon and northrop grumman etc are scum. I have a friend who found out their seemingly normal company was making systems for weaponry and they immediately quite. I think they’re cool for walking away the moment they found out.

    Past that is very case by case basis.

      Yeah that is really principled and cool of them. I understand if my playing devil’s advocate comes off as genocide-defending, that’s really not my intention.

      I just don’t want people getting carried away in the same kind of rhetoric being used by the Israelis as an excuse to kill all Palestinians because some of them are Hamas.

      Not that being a freedom fighter is the same as being genocidal, it’s just the rhetoric Israel uses to justify their crimes.

      Edit: This mostly applies to the other commenter I was talking to
