Having seen what the IDF is doing, at this point I have stopped considering Palestinian armed violence that targets Israeli military targets to be terrorism. No, fuck off, it's legitimate armed resistance, Palestinians have the right to defend themselves ans their nations right to exist. IDF targets are legitimate targets.

And I will start caring about the occasional stink of politically insensitive imagery when a similar standard is applied to Israelis. The entire Israeli leadership has adopted openly genocidal language, while openly genocidal and dehumanizing cultural elements are shamelessly being promoted in Israeli society.

I will not hold Palestinians to an impossible moral standard while Israelis are massacring them. This man has seen first hand the results of Israeli war crimes, he has treated without anesthesia the children on whose bodies their shrapnels were embedded. So he made an unfortunate antisemitic reference. After Palestine is free I'm sure his grandchildren will be a bit embarrassed by their hero doctor grandad's more extreme opinions.
