Hasn't this always been the case?
Israel has not been a shining example of virtue over the years. I'm not excusing the disgusting actions by the other side, where they are proved true, as some of the pictures have already been discounted, but this would only make Israel come down harder.
I don't the have an answer, but what ever us happening now is certainly not it.
So you just want them to sit back and take their genocide laying down? Of course you do, because you don't really support the Palestine struggle, you're just clutching at pearls because the thought of the oppressed rising up scares you.
I think you are confused, Israel are the ones who are planning on carrying out genocide.
"Them" refers to the palestinians.
What the poster is arguing is that Israel incited the attack by years and years of oppression and forced displacement.
I don't fully agree with that sentiment. I don't condone the attack and blaming that on Israel alone is delusional, but I certainly will not "stand for Israel". Genocide is not an appropriate response and the flimsy excuse of citing the recent attack as the trigger for moving forward with their long-standing plan of ethnic cleansing is despicable.
I'm not confused, that other guy was being bad faith. I even made it clear in my comment who was doing the genocide.
