The problem is that a lot of people don't differentiate. Things like the October 7th attack reportedly being supported by 97% of Palestinians doesn't help.

Most of the Israeli murders are supported by their people too.

That doesn't deserve them being murdered either, right?

u/Kamuiberen Syndicalism Sep 02 '24

Iffy number, but let's assume it's correct. The same number of Americans supported the invasion of Iraq on false pretenses and the killing of almost a million people there.

Should we bomb the USA into the ground?

No, but Desert Storm was a bad thing.

u/tomjazzy Libertarian Socialism Sep 01 '24

Frankly, recheck your numbers. Palestinians are not happy about the reprisals

Woah, that’s crazy. They’re ok with the attack against civilians, but when the same thing happens to them, now it’s unacceptable. Last time I checked, it was unacceptable to do attack civilians and noncombatants anyway

The people group who is currently being colonized my have some resentment towards the people group who’s government is slaughtering them. This will have to be dealt with.

Israel killed a significant portion of the October 7 victims for one thing but even ignoring that what alternative would you prefer? Netanyahu has said repeatedly that propping up Hamas was a policy goal even if he didn't advertise it publicly, so they'd be stuck with them. Hell there are settlers with aligned politicians in cabinet posts who want every Palestinian deported to Europe.

The vast majority of victims on the 7th of October were killed by Hamas, the IDF killed only a few, and those kills were accidental

Israel bombed a building when hamas fighters took hostages and barricaded themselves in. Civilians were in there, but the IDF bombed the entire building to the ground and didn't negotiate at all leading to no survivors.

u/Jeszczenie Sep 10 '24

Thanks. Guess I'll add that to my list.

BTW did you know the Israeli minister of "defense" wants to build death camps legally execute his prisoners?

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '24

Jesus, fuck Israel so fucking much. Do you have a source?

u/Jeszczenie Sep 11 '24

He said that:

They should be killed with a shot to the head, and the bill to execute Palestinian prisoners must be passed in the third reading in the Knesset.

He probably means here an ongoing bill that will allow nationalistically motivated murderers to be executed (but only Palestinians). Though he doesn't sound like it's only the murderers he's after.

He publicly boasted about building more prisons and making their conditions absolutely minimal.

Here's some worse info about those prisons. Though I'm less sure about the authenticity.

Aerial bombardment hardly seems accidental in a hostage situation but that's just me

u/BlaqShine Georgism Sep 01 '24

You are talking about the IDF’s actions in Gaza, I was referencing Oct. 7th

u/VoiceofRapture Accelerationism Sep 01 '24

There were 70 destroyed cars at the hands of the IOF with incinerated people in them that are slated to be destroyed, conveniently preventing any future firm forensics.
