    Nothing can justify this.

    Edit: You guys aren’t getting this, so I’ll explain it. This was senseless murder. Period. This wasn’t some he said she said left versus right bullshit. Go ahead and say “actually” and go fuck yourself. I’m tired of this ridiculous nerd baiting bullshit. You’re not funny. You’re not witty. You’re not scoring points. Life isn’t reducible to the whims of some shitty sorting hat that rewards you points because you’re not a cunt. This was senseless murder and should be treated as such without stupid fucking dry sarcasm.

      Nobody wants to see anybody die. All life is precious, all life is mournable. But like, c’mon the Gaza Strip doesn’t have any moral high ground. I’m with you this is horrific. But the situation is an absolute cluster fuck of human rights violations. The only way to speak on the situation with any accuracy is to write a tiny dissertation of qualifiers first. Like any hot take on the Gaza Strip should be 200 words minimum.

      If all you people actually cared about Palestinians and didn’t turn a blind eye about all the atrocities committed by Israel the past 70+ years, none of this would be happening now.

      You’re removing the all context because you don’t give a fuck about Palestinians and their treatment by Israel. You’re trying to pretend this happened in a vacuum.

      Do you know how many thousands of civilians were killed by the allies in WW2? Do you think that was unjustified too?

      Nothing against you if you say yes, it’s just about consistency.

        Yes. Yes that was. And very irrelevant to the topic at hand. What are you trying to do, get a moral compass of some guy on the internet? Then what, open discussion? This is baseless murder. Stop comparing and start raging at the injustice.

      Israel is reaping what they sowed.

      Maybe not justifiable, but 100% predictable and a direct response to Israel’s illegal actions (and unfortunately, as usual, innocent civilians are the ones who suffer).

        The people affected here aren’t “Israel”. They’re just civilians trying to live their lives. Believe me I hate the Israeli govermnet and am very sympathetic to Palestinian soverignty.

        NOTHING justifies terrorism. It’s evil and the people who did this are rats

        Edit: yeah downvote me you sacks of shit. They raped women next to dead bodies of their friends.

          Rape is horrific—so is everything in the Gaza Strip (people also like died). Amnesty international has an entire page dedicated to the Gaza Strip.

              I thought so, until I happened to watch a reel about it on Instagram and the amount of comments “they deserved it for pearl harbor” was shocking.

                  That’s a dumb justification.

                  An opinion can be subjective. You can like or dislike communism. But you cannot like or dislike genocide, unless you’re sick in the head.

                    its probably a dumb justification because i wasnt trying to justify anything

                    im pointing out that some americans saying something isnt hypocritical or less valid just because you saw some other americans say something that contradicts it

          Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying, why am I being downvoted and you upvoted?

            I hate to break it to you, but Gaza is where Hamas is. Hamas decided to fuck around and they’re going to find out, and it’s not going to be pretty. Gaza will likely be completely leveled; it’s too dangerous to allow Hamas to remain anywhere near Israel.

            Quick note: I’m not a fan of Israel either.

            You know that Israel will enter Gaza after this - with a huge army. And they will not start to indiscriminately kill civilians… but they will enter there, because they want to get attacked. And as soon as they get attacked, they will start flattening whole buildings from where they were attacked.

          You haven’t looked at lemmygrad.ml then: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/2247249

          I don’t have a lot to say other than that, I hope the Palestinians will do as much damage to the apartheid state as possible

          all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

          Also:

          Someone from federation reported your post for “hate speech”…

          So I banned them for being a zionist lol

          Why are we still federated with these terrorist supporters?

            That one was “This post literally tries to validate mass genocide, abductions, and violence incited by Hamas.”

            Everything is genocide these days except for when Ukraine attacked their own people in the Donbass. That wasn’t genocide.

            Jesus.

                Sorry, I read your post over and over and brought my partner over to read it and we aren’t sure we understand what you’re saying. No, this isn’t what I’m saying at all /:

                Yes let me just fight Israel by becoming like Israel.

                I meant, that Israel kills civilians. When we have a militant group Hamas killing civilians, they are being like Israel in that they exhibit this internationally-recognized-as-a-war-crime behaviour. I don’t think Hamas needed to kill those people partying at that music festival, I don’t think it was tactical, I don’t think it was necessary, I don’t think it drove the cause forward in any way, I actually think it’s an atrocity. That being said, Hamas killing civilians never excuses Israel doing its apartheid and genocide.

                Sorry if my position wasn’t unclear.

        You’re being downvoted, but a shit tonne of people are justifying the atrocities because it’s againstna people they hate.
