It’s like saying justice was served when Nat Turner was killed for his deadly revolt against slave owners. Justice will be served when the colonization end and israelis leaders who still alive and responsible for atrocities against Palestinians
Fighting against a colonizer is not resistance? Hamas terror operations like the 7 of October do not strip them from the title of resistance. Look at history and you’ll see many atrocities committed by resistance group like In June 1857, during the siege of Kanpur, the rebels led by Nana Sahib promised safe passage to British soldiers, women, and children who had surrendered. However, as they were being evacuated, the boats carrying them were attacked, and most were killed. Around 120 women and children who survived were taken as prisoners.
Lack of justice bring the worst of human being can do? The only solution for the end of violence is ending the colonization
I disagree. It absolutely DOES strip them off the title of resistance.
Crazy that this even needs to be said.
You conveniently ignore everything else that makes Hamas a jihadist terrorist organization with no redeemable qualities. It deserves no sympathy or even acknowledgement and it has forfeited any right to existence through the sheer monstrosity of their ideals and actions.
I gave two examples of atrocities committed by the oppressed due to the lack of justice and acknowledged Hamas attorcities. Tell me who’s going to fight against the IDF destroying Gaza right now if you think Hamas shouldn’t exists. I think they should exists till the occupation end than both the remaining leaders of Israel and Hamas are brought to justice
Nah you’re comparing accidents and collateral damage to pure jihadist terrorism. I’m sorry but that’s just incredibly stupid and you should be ashamed of your stance.
You should be ashamed of yourself for using that dumb collateral damage excuse for killing childrens. How the hell is promising British soldiers, kids and women safety than attacking them is an accident? How the hell there can be collateral damage with arms like knifes,axes and farm tools in Turner rebellion case? I condemned Hamas attack on 7 of october, I called for the end of colonization so Israel and Palestine get peace, you should be ashamed for not agreeing with this
What is in jihad that is so evil to you? Do you see it inferior to western military terrorism because it spares women and children? Because it does not allow carpet bombing?
The fact that you even dare to ask “what’s so evil” about a brain virus that requires suicide murder of innocent to appease some invisible, unverifyable and frankly disgusting idea of a god is just mind blowing. You should really re-evaluate your world model and I sincerely hope you get better.
That’s not jihadist tho. One can take any name and use it for thenselves but can you show where the “jihadist” brain virus was documented?
You did not answer the question yet I throw another one to you. How is a jewish ethno state allowed to form when it’s known about the well documented Torah ordering the murder of women, infants, cattle and all living things of an enemy. What about goyim. I am goyim, are you not goyim?
There is no terrorism against the settler-colonial genocide regime. Israel is not better because their violence is more formal and systematic. Resistance by Palestine is valid in any form given it’s position. Whatever worthless criticism you may have of the means of Palestinian resistance should be blamed on the Israeli regime for forcing them to this point.

The regime was not attacked on October 7th. Those were innocent people that were taken hostage.
It in no way justifies Israel’s genocide or the apartheid that happened before it, but you’re acting like the hostages were running the government until October 7th.
Yes. Technically yes. Anyone with a jewish ancestry can claim aliyah and travel to israel. You can’t host so many people without replacing existing ones. It’s the 21st century. Everyone knows how israel came into existence and what they are doing now. So yeah.
Yes. Technically yes. Anyone with a jewish ancestry can claim aliyah and travel to israel. You can’t host so many people without replacing existing ones. It’s the 21st century. Everyone knows how israel came into existence and what they are doing now. So yeah.
About one third of the Israelis killed and taken hostage on October 7 were active duty IDF soldiers. That doesn’t excuse the terrorist attacks on Civilians but it is important to point out that Israel has a much worse combatant to civilians killed ratio than Hamas or Hezbollah.
That is not fair. “Active duty IDF soldier” is everyone in Israel once they reach a certain age. Even the ultra-orthodox are no longer exempt.
You’re talking about 18-year-olds who were conscripted taking some R&R to go to a music festival.
Again, this doesn’t excuse anything that has happened subsequently or anything Israel did before either, but it’s not like we’re talking senior leadership here.
Some of them were taking R&R, some were along the border fence.
When every single person in your country is required to be a soldier when they turn 18, I don’t think suggesting they’re fair game in a situation like what happened in October 7th.
If they’re actively fighting, that’s a different story. But they weren’t. The people sending them to war should be the targets considering they do not have a choice in the matter.
I assume you don’t blame Russian conscripts for the war in Ukraine despite that also involving genocide.
Every death is a tragedy, but combatants are “fair game” in an armed conflict. This does not mean to “blame” them for what brought them there.
And for the Russian conscripts i will still not count them as civilians killed, even though they are also on the short end of Putins madness.
There is a major difference between Russia and Israel though. The Russian conscripts rarely had a chance to escape Russia. Most Israelis have a second or even third nationality. Their families are there by choice, not by lack of options.
It wasn’t an armed conflict until they began it on October 7th.
Whether or not Israel drove them to do it is another issue. I believe that’s what happened. But it doesn’t change the fact that I would not consider conscripts fair game in that situation because the situation itself is not a fair one.
When every single person in your country is required to be a soldier when they turn 18,
Just because the state violently forces people to do awful things that doesn’t absolve the state from being awful. There are many people who resist. I know some. They’ve had to flee the state because the state and the society are so oppressive of decent people. It’s really gross to ignore the sacrifices of these brave people.
That is not fair. “Active duty IDF soldier” is everyone in Israel once they reach a certain age.
It’s completely fair to judge a fascist society by their fascism.
Do we excuse the nazis because many were indoctrinated as nazi youths? No of course not. It might give us some understanding and compassion but it’s a completely fair judgement to say it’s a sick society.
Resistance by Palestine is valid in any form given it’s position. Whatever worthless criticism you may have of the means of Palestinian resistance should be blamed on the Israeli regime for forcing them to this point.
The oppressed do not have the luxury of precise and swift strikes against their oppressors. We do not get to judge the systematically and brutally disadvantaged Palestine and it’s resistance not being able to capture the core government out from behind one of the most advanced militaries on the planet (backed by one of the others).
All resistance on their part is justified. And insofar as any of those deaths may have been regrettable, they should be held against the settler-colonial regime for forcing this situation into existence.
Israel’s violence against Palestine is enormously unequal, disgustingly normalized, and systematically devastating. This has been going on for decades. To sit there and finger wag them fighting back is arrogant and frankly further enabling the situation. “Oh you deserve liberation and justice but only if you do it the right and proper way!” As if they can face such an overwhelmingly unfair fight as equals.
Palestinian violence is but a reflection of Israeli violence and all fault and consequences from it lay unequivocally at the feet of Israel.
Resistance by Palestine is valid in any form given it’s position.
In any form? So if some Palestinian person went through a maternity ward stomping on babies’ heads as a form of resistance, you’d be okay with that? Really?
That would hardly be different than genocidal war crimes done to Palestinians by the IDF.
Palestinians would almost certainly never make it to the hospital before being gunned down, whereas Israel can march in an army to perpetuate such atrocities with relative ease.
But sure, if such a thing happened you’d not find me condemning it. Israeli colonialism and genocide would be to blame for it. If Israeli violence stopped, so too would Palestinian violence. Israel has the power here unfortunately.
You do realize that, based on what you’ve said so far, you’re also saying that an acceptable resistance to genocide is genocide. I hope you realize that anyway.
That’s absolutely absurd. If Palestine was capable of inflicting genocide upon its oppressors, they’d not be in this situation to begin with. Can we talk about reality here?
Bro, with that attitude “everything is justified against Israel”, it’s guaranteed that the conflict will still exist in 100 years. That’s the right attitude to get as many people as possible killed there.
Resistence against the oppressor is maybe destroying the fence, taking land from the oppressor, shooting rockets on military and state buildings and killing or hurting solidiers.
Setting civilians on fire, making a festival of civilians a massacre and kidnapping over 100 civilians is just T E R R O R I S M.
I’m not here to deffend Israel. I’m just here to tell you that resistence is the wrong word for Hamas. They are a pain in the ass for Israel and for their own people.
Exactly and I’m getting seriously worried Lemmy is going the way of every other reddit clone that have been captured by extremists.
I never thought I’d live in a world where people would be defending Hamas. It’s pure insanity.
There’s no sympathy for Hamas and they will forever be forgotten as anything but human refuse. Anyone who can’t agree with this simple statement doesn’t deserve to be listened.
Killing a terrorist leader is not justice? How?
It’s like saying justice was served when Nat Turner was killed for his deadly revolt against slave owners. Justice will be served when the colonization end and israelis leaders who still alive and responsible for atrocities against Palestinians
You’re comparing terrorists with freedom fighters now?

If someone kills your family and steals your house, is it terrorism to take it back?
Were the people they killed and kidnapped the ones who killed their family and stole their house?
Yes. Technically yes. Anyone with a jewish ancestry can claim aliyah and travel to israel. You can’t host so many people without replacing existing ones. It’s the 21st century. Everyone knows how israel came into existence and what they are doing now. So yeah.
Are you claiming Jew = Israeli? Because that would be both a lie and very bigoted of you.
So you should probably clarify that to me now what with it being a violation of rule 4 if that’s what you meant.
Are you replying to the correct comment?
Yes I am. You said this:
Please answer the question. Does Jew = Israeli?
Should I assume the answer is yes?
About one third of the Israelis killed and taken hostage on October 7 were active duty IDF soldiers. That doesn’t excuse the terrorist attacks on Civilians but it is important to point out that Israel has a much worse combatant to civilians killed ratio than Hamas or Hezbollah.

Again, this doesn’t excuse anything that has happened subsequently or anything Israel did before either, but it’s not like we’re talking senior leadership here.
Soldiers in military bases along the border fence are not taking some R&R going to a music festival.
And if they are armed at the border of a region they siege, being 18 years old is not an excuse not to be considered a soldier.
Some of them were taking R&R, some were along the border fence.
When every single person in your country is required to be a soldier when they turn 18, I don’t think suggesting they’re fair game in a situation like what happened in October 7th.

I have made it clear again and again that Israel as a state is not absolved.
Now you are dishonestly implying that I have not.
I see no reason to continue a conversation with someone who makes such a disgusting implication of me.
It’s completely fair to judge a fascist society by their fascism.
Do we excuse the nazis because many were indoctrinated as nazi youths? No of course not. It might give us some understanding and compassion but it’s a completely fair judgement to say it’s a sick society.
How do you know they have been indoctrinated?
That’s like saying Vietnam vets supported that war.
The ones that didn’t fled the government under penalty of persecution. Honestly brave and an example to aspire to.
Not everyone is that brave. Nor should we expect everyone to be willing to abandon their families.
Let me just redirect your whole comment back to:

Disgusting to read that…

Setting civilians on fire, making a festival of civilians a massacre and kidnapping over 100 civilians is just T E R R O R I S M.
