Just like the view that Palestinians are deserving of this genocide is not a view held by all Israelis, let alone all Jews. You're looking at things through an extremely reductive lens that paints all people as either villains or innocents. That's not how the world works.
And yet you rush to defend the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. You see Hamas, a resistance force made up of orphans, as the ultimate evil but demand sympathy for a colonist nation that in poll after poll supports genocide in their majority. It’s clear what you are; genocide-supporting filth
I didn't rush to defend any ethnic cleansing, you're putting a lot of words in my mouth and not listening to the ones I'm writing. I don't demand sympathy for the Israeli combatants or Hamas. They're both leveraging deaths of innocents to attempt genocide, but only Israel has the means to try it
Yes you did; you do not accept that Palestinians are oppressed, this have no right to fight back against their oppressors. Israel has mandatory military service so every adult has had a direct hand in oppressing Palestinians but you see them as ‘innocent’ meanwhile Hamas is evil
I absolutely accept Palestinians are oppressed, I never said otherwise. And they have every right to rise up against their oppressors; but they should only leverage armed resistance against armed oppression. Compulsory soldiers are fair game while they're soldiers. We do not justify civilian deaths
But you do justify civilian death. You justify the death and starvation of children while quibbling about a guerrilla resistance of a people who have repeatedly tried peaceful means to stop their oppressors but have been slaughtered as a result. It’s exactly like Warsaw you racist
I think think the genocide Israel is enacting right now is abhorrent, particularly from a people that suffered much the same less than a century ago But I also don't think that any of the IDF's actions--which do lead to people joining Hamas to fight back--justifies killing noncombatants
There’s that false equivalence and cover for genocide again. You think that the genocide is abhorrent, which is only the last step in a 78 year ethnic cleansing regime, yet place all the blame on Hamas and none on Israel. Like I said, it’s clear what you are; no better than a nazi
It's not cover for genocide, I literally just said on the post you're responding to that it's abhorrent. I also called out the IDF for their part in creating the violence they claim as justification for their atrocities. The violence is disproportionate, true, but attacking civilians is still bad.
You focus on Hamas and Oct 7 in a vastly disproportionate way. What does that say about you, that you have to centre the oppressors and have to underline ‘well some Palestinians deserve genocide actually’ over and over again?
I haven't focused on Oct 7 at all honestly. You're right; this is an issue that goes well beyond that. I also don't say that "some Palestinians deserve genocide." I simply say no militaristic group should be targeting civilians, and those that do should be treated with disdain.
Every Israeli adult serves in the IDF, a militaristic organisation with the sole purpose of oppressing Palestinians. The majority of Hamas operatives are orphans who have lost their parents to Israeli violence. Your sympathy and understanding of civilians and military is skewed towards oppressors
And that forced servitude serves to indoctrinate the Israeli citizens, sure. I didn't know that I would say with any certainly those thrown in the IDF haven't ALSO lost family or friends to violence, which is why it's a circle of violence Regardless, neither side should be hitting civilians
lmfao ‘forced servitude’, when the penalty for not joining is a couple months in prison at most. And by all metrics if any Israeli dies thousands more Palestinians have, meaning you again prove you value Israeli lives and see Palestinians as not human
