Funny. I was called a Zionist on Lemmy because I said the kids at the festival shouldn’t have had to die.
I think most people can acknowledge that Oct 7 was bad, and also recognize the apartheid and genocide of Palestinians is bad.
Unfortunately, some people can't
I mean, some people are overzealous, but maybe there's more context too?
Fundamentally, yeah, civilians getting caught in a conflict sucks.
It's just that this one attack is used as justification for the vindictive massacres since, which is both wildly out of proportion and extremely unfair to the civilians not involved in the attack who, even in the most charitable reading, get killed for other people's sins, and in a less charitable one, get killed for other people's genocidal conviction of supremacy.
Context here: https://lemmy.world/comment/22416297
I just read it again, a “Zionist bootlicker” even, for suggesting the attack at the festival was wrong.
I wonder if kids in the concentration camp could hear the festival outside the prison they were born into. I wonder how many could hear or see life outside their prison as their family died from starvation, bombings, or other crimes against humanity. Of course most of them are dead now.
It isn't wrong when someone plays a wrong note when learning how to play the piano. It isn't wrong when a bullied kid punches back. It wasn't wrong when a Jew beat a former camp guard to death when walking out of a liberated Nazi concentration camp. It wasn't wrong when Hamas killed children in the attack on the festival when resisting genocide.
It's a bad thing that the children at that festival died. In a better world Hamas wouldn't have killed them when doing the attack, and in a better world still Hamas wouldn't have cause for the attack. But Hamas was right for trying to resist genocide even when their judgment was poor enough that they killed kids when doing so.
In this case the bullied kid shot up the school and not just the bully.
It also is a completely different situation than someone in a concentration camp beating up their own guard.
If you think the wasn’t wrong you support terrorism and aren’t any better than the terrorists themselves or the Israeli government.
If you think the wasn’t wrong you support terrorism
Yes. That is what we've been talking about. Terrorism was right when the suffragettes did it, it was right when John Brown did it, it was right when the French Resistance did it, and it's right when Hamas does it. Terrorism has a long history of being on the right side of history and of occasionally being the reason for history progressing in the right direction.
and aren’t any better than the terrorists themselves
So terrorism is at most as bad as a random keyboard warrior with bad opinions?
or the Israeli government.
So orchestrating genocide is at most as bad as a random keyboard warrior with bad opinions?
You’re just as bad as them since you support it if we follow your line of thinking from the Israeli government to the kids at the festival. And even worse because you don’t even know what opinions they held, I do know yours. You don’t get to choose. Either both are true or neither.
Don't forget "terrorist".
So, they want to criminalize too many colors (rainbows) and too few colors (all black)?
She makes the best comics for babies, and the best comics for adults it seems.
You don't have to build the concentration camp if you just bomb the kids.
I think my favorite is them calling everyone Antifa ... that means "Antifacist" ... cons get mad about Antifa because they are Fascists.

Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
