    Then by that logic it’s fair game for native Americans to start cleansing all European bloodlines in the United States? As a Latino person, I can go into any southwest state and start killing my neighbors because their ancestors “caused harm, anger, and hatred by using terrorism (fear and violence) to enforce their rule over people”?

    How are you tankies this fucking dumb?

      But they’re STILL causing them harm and anger and using terrorism, right now, actively, even before the 7th of october, it’s been ongoing for over 75 years, it hasn’t stopped once, its been happening everyday in Gaza and the West Bank (where Hamas isn’t), besides the fact that the occupation power very explicitly stated its intentions of basically deleting every single Palestinian, even before the 7th of october.

      other than the starvation and thirst they’re forcing onto them, they keep bombing civilian buildings, they bombed multiple medical centers including a hospital where over 1000 people (injured civilians from the occupation’s bombings), over half of which were children, toddlers, and babies died.

      and to top all of that off, from https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/war-crimes.shtml

      Article 8, section 2.b: 2.b.i. Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities;

      2.b.ii. Intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects, that is, objects which are not military objectives;

      israel is committing war crimes and being praised and supported for it.

      nothing justifies the intentional or unintentional killing of any civilians, children, women, or men, EVEN IF THE ENEMY WAS KILLING CIVILIANS TOO!

      Let’s also not forget that israel is one of the largest and most powerful military entities in the world, supported by even larger military powers, going against this tiny patch of land called Gaza, where the people there have been continually oppressed for over 75 years, Hamas’s homemade mortars dont do nearly as much damage as israel’s US-made targetted missiles, and it’s obvious from the fact that no building has been brought down in israel by Hamas, while Gaza is being basically flattened as we speak.

      Do some research before posting online.

      No, dude. I’m not saying what Hamas is doing is “fair game”. I’m saying Israel has a responsibility in it, and they aren’t handling it well. In the past, I totally understand native Americans killing settlers, especially on their land that was promised to them in treaties that they agreed to when moving. Present day, this stuff isn’t happening. If anything, we’re trying to make up for those actions that we now see as a mistake. In present day Israel though, they’re actively performing those actions that cause the inhabitants to feel the need to fight back.

      Also, not a tanky. Not everyone who disagrees with Zionism is anti-semitic or a tanky. Grow up and try to come up with an actual reasonable argument.
