Rephrasing my comment, i did not mean to wish violence on civillians, whole situation is completely fucked and did not mean to make Jews or Israelis unsafe, Israel is a settler colonial apartheid state and hopefully will go the way of South Africa and more cleanly than that asap
a week after violence flared up between Israel and militants in Gaza
Damn that's crazy, violence just flaring up out of nowhere
Violence is when you throw rocks at someone and they throw rockets at you and your family and your friends
That last part is not violence but rather legitimate self-defense of which even the mildest criticism would be antisemitic. It's only the rocks that are violent.
any violence committed by palestinians against israel is self-defense
Is sexual violence acceptable in resisting oppressors? I don't think so. I think anitcolonial feminists can't accept "any violence" as legitimate.
Besides that OR Tambo put it well, as to how violence against colonial states is acceptable. Even manages to distinguish how it is acceptable and how when "civilians" are working as part of the oppressing paramilitary police force their super markets are not neutral, but part of the logistical supply chain of violent oppression. Still the MK did target more efficiently than the Islamic Jihad does.
No need for conspiracy theories, while three letter agencies (or six letter) do black ops it is quite clear that there are functional networks in Gaza who promote violent and militant struggle. This means that there doesn't need to be a Jewish right wing intelligence agency behind attacks, as the material, social, political conditions created generate them.
Surely Israel's intelligence agencies do also gather or influence intel as the FBI does, but likely focuses on more real "threats" instead of fucking around as much as the US agencies do.
The investigations related to Shireen Abu Akleh killing are now pretty transparently done and do likely pin point to the shooter being one of the IDF soldiers in the vans.
