“Violating international law” is pretty sterile/soft verbiage for fucking war crimes.
He denounced specific parts of the attack. The section of international law that explicitly allows violent resistance to a military occupation or blockade doesn't exempt the resistors from the rest of international law. The IDF/Israel and Hamas have the same obligations under international law(s).
serious question - if Jews in a ghetto during WW2 got together some weapons, revolted, left the ghetto and killed a bunch of German civilians partying right outside the ghetto, would you call it "genocidal" and "terrorism" and say "yes, while Nazi Germany is bad, so are these Jews who committed terrorism"?
it doesn't suck for you to take the high road, you're sitting in the west living a comfortable life, it's super easy for you to 'condemn' both sides and go on with your day. what are Gazans supposed to do? they're living in hell on earth, and the entire world had turned their backs on them.
peacefully protest? they've tried that
try to get the word out about how bad their situation is? they've tried that
what should they have done instead? just do nothing and let Israel keep building settlements and murdering them and commit a slow genocide? I can't blame them for violently struggling in whatever means possible. even under international law, occupied populations have the right to engage in armed struggle. it sucks that it came to this, but Israel is responsible for every death that happens because they want to commit genocide against the native population rather than peacefully coexist.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

The Jews would have been justified in killing every German they could get their hands on if it could help stop the Holocaust.
A genocidal society has no right to claim the mercy of a civilian/soldier distinction. They do not recognize it themselves.
It is a horrible tragedy on a personal level. No one person has any power over the situation they find themselves in, but that is the brutal logic of war. Societies will feel less safe in engaging in targeting civilians if their own are subject to retaliation when they do so.
Violence against Germany literally ended the Holocaust so you are just a clown.
I guess you would have sent thoughts and prayers to the extermination camps.
Sitting on the side lines whining about "both sides bad!" during the literal Holocaust is not "taking the high road." It's being an unprincipled coward.
And MLK had pretty scathing words for people like you.
That's just "both sides bad."
The fact that you can't tell the difference tells me a lot.
And the fact that you can't tell the difference tells me even more.
I'd also argue that it shows you to be the unprincipled one.
Yeah I have no idea how these people don't get it. Are the Palestinians expected to just accept having their calories counted and reduced, their water limited, and their electricity shut off? Like what sort of peace do you think is possible?
Liberals are always dealing in the abstract. “Israel must stop oppressing Palestinians”
Ok who is going to make them? Then when the Palestinians stand up for themselves “this violence is abhorrent and must end immediately”
Ok how does it end? It’s like they have no concept of WHY people do things.
He'll bear witness to the suffering of Palestine while voting to give the zionist entity more cluster munitions.
he says WHAT? didn't he say the opposite like 1 day ago?
I mean, good, but
"Both sides should just stop being mean to each other" is in this case the blandest, most useless take you could possibly have. It does nothing for nobody, it's just saying something for the sake of saying it.
What are his positions on how to resolve this thing? What should the Palestinians get in his opinion?
Ok, cool, but that's literally just saying "I don't like bad thing happening". What does he want to do to make the bad thing stop?
Unlimited violence upon genocidal settler colonists, we don't need to make excuses
Palestinian resistance: "absolutely condemn", "horrifying attack", "no justification", "it must end now"
Zionists doing Nazi shit in Gaza: "a war crime"
Fuck off you old piece of shit
Akin to the Warsaw uprising. People facing extermination rising up hoping to avert ultimate doom at the hands of uncaring monsters.
They knew how outmatched they were, but the alternative is submitting to genocide. Think about the desperation required to take this nearly hopeless fight. The sheer suffering.
So glad zionists don't control the narrative this time.
It seems like the internet is doing it's job, for once.
They do sadly. The media has repeated Israeli lies again and again even when provided with no proof of their claims. The whole baby beheading thing got spread so much that Joe Biden ended up calling it out and later clarified that they don't have proof as well.
And Reddit has been banning pro Palestine subs and users from yesterday.
Reddit is far more anti-zionist than any other social media, for example.
me when i lie on the internet
Oh and by the way,
Go fuck yourself Bernie. You bowed to this. You endorsed this. You imperialist piece of shit.
At least Jezza stood for principles and went down for them.
But I also know after 9/11 I wouldn’t have given a shit if we did genocide an entire group if they were responsible.
Wtf.
You assholes DID do that, 3 million dead and millions more refugees.
If the people did 9/11 were Indigenous Americans living in an open air prison beside New York city, facing regular bombings, food shortages, lack of clean water and electricity and a constant encroachment upon their land, yeah little sympathy when they kill a couple settlers for once.

every time.
fuck right off, you piece of shit.
People like you absolutely cannot be allowed anywhere near the levers of power in any society.
Your mindset is responsible for so much preventable suffering and you think it's universal for some reason.
That deeply saddens me how warped your perception of reality must be.
Could you tell us what sort of power you've been entrusted with?
It's a shame he got banned. I wanted to know if he was a CIA agent or a Navy Seal.
I certainly hope these are confirmed terrorist targets but there’s just a whole lot of them and I suspect many of them have civilians inside.
find everyone who upvoted this and ban them too. and yes, i dont believe in free speech. eat shit.
We would have, and we'd be disgusting scum for doing so. We DID do so. And are.
Are you actually fucking trying to excuse this shit? Thats reprehensible
ArE wE ThE BAddiES?!?!??!?!?
no youre just a piece of shit, maybe you can't write coherently with your 14 year old brain.
You know the US does have groups of people cordoned off in New Mexico? We have similar situations all over the US. They're called Indian Reservations and we did regularly massacre the people that lived there (Wounded Knee being the most famous example).
But at least by 1924 we gave Native Americans citizenship and therefore the right of free movement. It only took about 150 years but they at least got basic rights eventually, even if the discrimination and violence continues.
Israel can't even meet the standards of decency that America, a continuously not-decent country figured out for itself before Israel even existed.
"I supported genocidal rage, tried to psychologize and implicitly justify other ways to genocide, gladly accept and repeat the racist language of double standards that allows Westerners to pretend they don't already support apartheid and genocide, but don't you dare call me a Nazi."
why are so many users who come here through federation so fucking stupid?
This is a horrible take.
I'm only allowing it to stay up because it'll give others an eye opener of what Israel supporters are really like.
I know we are currently in the ___ phase but where is the line drawn? Does this ___ justify genocide? Im not inclined to believe so.
The line is genocide, if nothing else. The blanks don't matter. Your position on genocide should be 110% against it, the extra 10% (ideally more) being proactive measures to fight fascism to ensure genocide never happens again in history.
Hey Bernie, you used to be cool, but it's time for your dues as well.
Maybe he was literally sent loads of
in his e-mails too, lmao
purge them all
