            If you want to discuss how the Palestinians have accomplished nothing but their own suffering, while having nothing to show for it, then I'm all ears

            If you want to defend acts of Israeli apartheid towards Palestinians, I'm not going to listen. I'm South African, I oppose apartheid everywhere. As Nelson Mandela said, our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinian people.

            I will not defend the killing of civilians by any side. That is morally unjustifiable. I will be clear however, that violence begets violence, and Israel has been indiscriminately bombing civilians (a terrorist tactic), and stealing land and homes for decades. The way to end this is to stop the violence, and come to the negotiation table. A two state solution of some sort is a compromise that is desperately needed to ease tensions.

                You've been defending terrorists the whole time. Israel has never taken hostages like the Palestinians have. There's no end goal in these attacks. Whatever problems the Palestinians have will not be fixed by what they're doing.

                I can change the place names in your quote a bit and you sound exactly like the typical boilerplate response of a 1970s-80s South African pro-Apartheid liberal whining about how "uMkontho we Sizwe is too violent". Just flatly admit that you support the Apartheid rule and the list of crimes perpetrated by the Israeli government.

        What a moving, salient political take. Good thing "Just stop it and leave us alone😡🤬" is a belief that always survives against armed militant resistance

        With the establishment of a relationship of oppression, violence has already begun. Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? How could they be the sponsors of something objective whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as oppressed? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior of violence to establish their subjugation.

        And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization a simply a question of relative strength.

        Get this into your head: if violence were only a thing of the future, if exploitation and oppression never existed on earth, perhaps displays of nonviolence might relieve the conflict. But if the entire regime, even your nonviolent thoughts, is governed by a thousand-year old oppression, your passiveness serves no other purpose but to put you on the side of the oppressors.
