This thread is an embarrassment, I can't believe there are people on Hexbear handwringing about violence against settler civilians. Did Native Americans never kill colonizer civilians? Are we going to start condemning the Haitian revolutionaries?
Israelis are constantly pretending they live in fear of being killed by Palestinian "terrorists". Have they considered fucking leaving, which is an option the Palestinians don't even have? No Israeli children would be in a position to be killed in the fighting or held hostage if their colonizer parents hadn't put them there. These children are victims, but they're victims of their colonizer parents and colonizer politicians.
You want to talk about children being held hostage to ensure compliance from adults? How many Palestinian children are there in the open air prison of Gaza, where 2/3 of the population are under 25 years old?
Agreed. However I think there are only a few apartheid apologists in this thread and the vast majority have the correct line on the struggle for Palestine liberation. They should be banned though
Every new conflict and event in the real world will reveal another segment of chauvinism from westerners. It’s amazing we can spend 2 years beating liberals into the correct position on Ukraine and then another event sparks off and the libs are back on square one again. They learn nothing
Those who wish to defend settlers against their rightful removal from their stolen land and the creation of a state that will right the wrongs inflicted upon the oppressed people of Palestinian are wrong and should be banned.
Idk about that. Like belief in the necessity of violent revolution is fundamental to being a leftist. Life, if we're gonna have a leftist unity site here, that's the biggest thing I'm agreeing with other tendencies about. Anyone not on board with that isn't my comrade
like I've infamously taken really long to add an israel-cool emote with an actual flag (which we now have ) since burning the star of david makes me feel very icky, but that's a ways away from actually both-sidesing the conflict/running agitprop for the poor brooklynite settlers
That's an offer that can only be made by the indigenous peoples of those lands, and it feels kind of icky to hear someone in the present saying North America and Australia are up for grabs because they're underpopulated.
This is a terrible take. The original inhabitants of the Anglo settler states still exist, and that land should be returned to them, not used as a dumping ground for the unwanted minorities of other countries
Fighting against Settlers is based but I could cut some slack to people who were born in occupied Palestine and have lived there for their entire lives. But then again, these new generation Settlers have been conditioned to normalise apartheid and genocide in the occupied territory so they can go fuck themselves.
People here have defended the slavers and colonizers killed in America & Haiti. We’d like to think Hexbear is beyond that but it’s happened. Not surprised people are handwringing about this tbh.

You're right, there are only a few. However, I'm surprised and disappointed that there are any at all.

The only thing that stops a fascist is a bullet
Good faith peaceniks shouldnt be banned, even if they are "wrong".

Are you conflating ghosts with what people are actually asserting? I haven't seen any posts implying that the resistance isn't righteous.
They don't condemn resistance, just the act of resisting
Ok
Good faith in serious doubt here

literally Jewish (born and raised), have been to Israel, somehow less sympathetic towards Israel than some posters in this thread

Yeah it's the right call, it would be used by wreckers. IDF-cool and :israel-cool: are good
In a scenario of worldwide socialism, I think almost all ethnic disputes could be solved using the land of the US, Canada and Australia
The Anglo settler states are very empty and underpopulated, and a global socialist order would also make possible massive irrigation projects
Whether it's Kurds, Jews, or whomever else who wants separateness, it should all be solveable by giving them a slice of Colorado or the Outback
