Its more like grabbing the little sister because the Bully has your dad, uncle and brother captive in what used to be your basement.
Those are the hostages; I was referring to the other stuff (you know, the rapes and massacres and all that). A lot of what Hamas did on October 7th was pointless and unjustifiable and a lot was legitimate resistance against a colonial oppressor; there’s no reason to ignore one part for the other.
Not gonna lie, call me a psychopath, but I have a reallyREALLY hard time feeling bad for Israelis. And I know its a mixed bag and not everyone there is a racist, xenophobic, imperialist bigot, but yeah I really just don’t give a damn.
And you might say,
“blah blah the US is the same, how would you feel if Native Americans started kidnappings people etc.”
And my response to that, as an American, would be,
Not gonna lie, call me a psychopath, but I have a really REALLY hard time feeling bad for Israelis.
Sure, but even then giving Zionists real facts to point to when they try to discredit the cause only helps them, making unnecessary war crimes actively detrimental. The fight with Israel will be won or lost based on international support (or lack thereof), which is why both sides try so hard to gain it for themselves and deny it to the other side. In a situation like this, parading dead bodies of civilians on video actively harms the Palestinian cause.
