    Not interested in your bullshit takes that would only incite more violence against the Gaza civilians by painting Oct 7 as a popular uprising.

    Honestly think before you speak if you actually care about these people.

          the history starts before 1948.

          20 months since Palestine attacked Israel setting off a war.

          which is it? It’s almost like you’re just another westerner defending a genocide via selective reading of history

        They are NOT resisting, these are innocent civilians… I don’t give a shit about Hamas I’m talking about women and children dying in Gaza. How is there disagreement on this basic acknowledgement of reality?

          Israel is committing a genocide, as all settler colonial states eventually do, no disagreement there.

          The disagreement is over whether Palestinians have a right to resist settler colonialism and forced displacement. International law and natural law says they do, it is obvious, but people who live in settler colonial states that were successful in eradicating the indigenous population won’t make that inconvenient admission.

            No but these people are so dense that i have to spell it out like that so they understand the difference I’m drawing between Hamas/combatants/uprising vs. women and children living peacefully in their homes and not harming anyone on this planet but still getting bombs dropped on their heads. But still it’s on deaf ears.

                does revolt mean crossing a border in force during a time of peace and then slaughtering over 1000 people?

                  Fluxion makes the distinction between Hamas and women/children. Surely women have contributed to the rebellion efforts. I’m not sure it’s so black and white like that. I wanted to point that out since they seemed misogynistic about it.

                  Revolt absolutely means that. But a revolt is only a revolt if there exists an overwhelming oppression that makes people want to resist.

                  And that is absolutely the case, starting in 1946 when Jewish people started dominating Palestinians. There have been hundreds of October 7ths since then. 57,000+ Palestinians have perished to date since 2025/10/7 due to Israel’s maximal racism and bloodlust.

                  Also, Palestine was not in peace. Hell, the West Bank of Israel wasn’t in peace. The only peace was felt by one side, which undermines the entire idea. Peace means no oppression, no war for both sides. That has never been true for Palestinians while Israel has occupied their land.

      Hey here comes the comfortable westerner to tell everyone what they think is bad optics.

      This genocide could never happen without the Biden and Trumps full support. Hand-wrining about “terrorism” only serves defending the perpetrators while posing like you care about victims.

      Sickening behavior really, but I’m used to it by now. American soldiers are terrorists, IDF are terrorists.

        I mean… No. This has been happening for 80+ fucking years and Israel would be doing it with or without US support.

          They would certainly be trying, but it’s a lot harder to exterminate a captive population when you aren’t getting supplied a whole arsenal to do so.

            Yes, I’m sure that captive populations aren’t regularly exterminated without the backing of major MICs.

              This genocide could never happen without the American uniparty shitheads enabling it for decades.

              Ok… So a bit different than “it would never happen”

              I said:

              This genocide could never happen without the Biden and Trumps full support

              Without their support it would be a different one, maybe get better at reading or something

                Without US support, Israel would be genociding… who, exactly? What ‘different’ genocide would it be, if not the genocide that’s been going on since 1948, long before US aid was a major factor?

        It’s not about bad optics, you are literally doing what Israel is doing by equating Gaza civilians as “combatants” and thus making them targets. These people had nothing to do with Oct 7 I’m talking about little children and doctors and mothers and teachers and you’re on about this fucking freedom fighter uprising bullshit because you’re more concerned with justifying violence against Israel than caring about how many kids get bombed and starve to death in Gaza.

        Fuck that bullshit.

          You are the one making excuses for the occupation by calling their victims terrorists. A ghetto uprising describes the conditions accurately. You are the one doing the work of Israel by pretending that they have ever discriminated between ‘combatants’ and everyone else.

          I guess feigning moral superiority must be how you sleep at night after a long day of jorkin it to Ukraine war killcams or whatever it is you weirdos do for fun.

            I see, we are on 2 different topics here.

            Have fun justifying Oct 7. I’ll pass on that bullshit.

            I’m talking about the genocide in Gaza today, where 50,000 who had nothing to do with Oct 7 or any sort of “uprising” whatsoever have been killed.
