AdeptusPrimaris‘Free world, where are you?’ Gaza hospital chief pleads after babies killed
dan1101I hate to be callous, but when your own countrymen launch a large-scale killing and kidnapping spree on another country you’ve got to expect (increased) retaliation. It’s a shitstorm all around.
the_itsb [she/her, comrade/them]Any thoughts on the decades of increasing oppression the Palestinian people have suffered or are you just pretending this uprising is happening in a vacuum?
What is the permissible amount of violence with which to respond to attempted genocide?
I hate to be callous
Then don’t be?
After yet after 75 years of Palestinians being attacked and imprisoned and abused I don’t know what Hamas expected as a response to this. Less attacks and imprisonment and abuse?
Ignoring for a moment the right of an occupied people to resist their oppression: “Hamas” does not include all Palestinians or all residents of Gaza. There are innocent civilians in Gaza, and collective punishment is against international law.
But back to that right: could you please point to an example of an oppressed people successfully freeing themselves non-violently?
Not a single time in the history of anthropology has oppression been resolved “non-violently”. Oppression requires violence and force to keep it intact. Compliance is required or they will make you missing sometimes even your family to reinforce oppressed populations consequences.
dumpster_dove [he/him]Back in 2018 the world got to shake its head and move on as Palestinians marched in protest against the Israeli occupation. It was great target practice for the IDF as they got to shoot thousands of protestors, medics and journalists. Palestinians should keep doing this until the world shakes its head so hard that Israel will start feeling bad for killing people that they don’t consider people.
I think a better question is how did Israel think that 75 years of attacking and imprisoning Palestinians would lead to anything but a retaliation of violence?
Everyone knows that there has been a violent back and forth for decades. The question is who is to blame for the continuation of violence? Well, that would be those who have the ability to actually enact a solution and choose not to.
The reality is that Israel holds all the bargaining power in this scenario, they have the military, the resources, and the support of the global community. Palestinians don’t have a seat at the table, they have been given no options but apartheid or violent revolt.
I don’t understand why your bloodthirst is so strong you feel the need to defend Israel’s genocidal actions. You can just say nothing you know?
PosadistInevitablity [he/him]Don’t fight someone trying to kill you. They might kill you faster.
After years of beatings from her husband, what did she expect?
SexMachineStalin [he/him, comrade/them]So they should just sit tight, right? Bombs are going to come sooner or later, no matter what happens inside the strip.
