    "That middle schooler? She might be a Hamas leader daughter so kidnapping her and all their friends it's just a counter-terrorism measure"

    "Oh so we might have tortured and killed all those middleschoolers we kidnapped, do you have any proof of that? Like even where we took them? Anyways, Hamas always use middleschoolers as soldiers so if they ended up in a undisclosed mass grave that would be good anyways"

    • These exact talking points were applied unironically in the Plan Condor.

        I had someone tell me that if Palestinians don't leave their homes when Israel says they will bomb them, its actually the Palestinians killing their own families.

        Resistance against tyranny is romanticised and praised in literally the whole fucking world except when it comes to Israel, where the right thing to do is to lay down and suffer.
