Do not misunderstand my words. This is a harsh reality that everyone must acknowledge. If you fail to understand this, defeat is guaranteed. Let me start by saying that I do not support Israel. Besides the U.S. government, I believe they are one of the most evil nations.

But that only emphasizes the point I am about to make. The reason evil is so successful is because good people allow it.

It has been three years since Israel launched a genocide campaign without even attempting to hide its actions. They have been doing this for decades, but now there is no holding back. I have watched people protest, the United Nations express concern, and countries post on Twitter that they do not support it. But all of these responses have one thing in common: a lack of action.

"Free Palestine" is a statement that cannot stop genocide; it is a passive phrase consisting of two words. It means nothing and accomplishes nothing, as you can see.

If you truly want a free Palestine, it is time to face the truth: you are in a war, and the enemy must be defeated.

Anyone who is triggered by my words (the reality of this situation) you are simply too emotional and think words affect people, which is exactly why you think the catchphrase Free Palestine will work

also assuming this post was made in good faith and op doesnt realize they're using cringe reddit debatebro rhetoric:

I get what you're trying to say, even if it's not a polished critique: yes, slogans don't magically stop genocide, as leftists are fully aware. This is why uttering "free palestine" when it's politically relevant is only part of a greater tactic of BDS and direct action. The sad reality is that normal people are powerless against two of the largest fucking militaries on planet earth; short of widespread assassination campaigns directed at Israeli genociders like Netenyahu and Galant, an enormous mass protest/general strike would probably be the only way to stop this at this point - you don't get to that point by not talking about the genocide.

Lol you think I'm here to argue with sheep on the internet. Instead of being a keyboard warrior build a militia and fight this genociding enemy. Or just keep saying free palestine like a sheep.

Are you ready for me to? Is anyone or are we all going to just keep letting evil do all the attacking while we get attacked

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

So no, you're not. Call me when you start building a militia instead of whatever this is.
