    Israel vs. Palestine: Palestine was wrong to attack

    Actually, colonized peoples have the right to militarily resist their oppressors.

      I don’t think kidnapping civilians is military resistance. I agree they clearly have the right to resist.

        My understanding, and it’s basically impossible to verify this, is that the resistance was focused on military targets and taking POWs (which the israelis count the same any any civilian prisoners, and tried to make it seem like all prisoners or casualties were civilians), and a bunch of Gazan civilians independently broke out when the fences went down and grabbed a bunch of Israelis and handed them over to Hamas. Hard to say.

        In any case, it would still be in line with the reciprocity and proportionality aspects of the laws of war. Israeli forces regularly kidnap Palestinians, though they call it “arresting”, and hold them indefinitely in very poor conditions with no real legal process. This was going on long before October 7th.
