I think it’s intended use was to support the oppression and murder of natives, and imprisonment of slaves.

It was definitely used for it.

According to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, in 2008, of Israel’s 7.3 million people, 75.6 percent were Jews of any background.[39] Among them, 70.3 percent were Sabras (born in Israel), mostly second- or third-generation Israelis, and the rest are olim (Jewish immigrants to Israel)—20.5 percent from Europe and the Americas, and 9.2 percent from Asia and Africa, including the Arab countries.

Any chance it’s an nsfw community, and your account isn’t set to see that? Some of ours are NSFW by default, to blur the pictures in the general feed, and I’ve had this issue.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade is the militant wing of Fatah, the al-Quds Brigades are the militant wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the DFLP is also active as the Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces.

It’s not just Hamas.

They’re just putting her right in front of the zionist bombs like that?

simply_surprise,

They attacked and defeated a huge number of military targets as well, which has been heavily downplayed in the Western News media I’ve seen.

Israel is bad for committing genocide.

Palestinians are apparently bad for not wanting to be genocided.

Palestinians have a UN recognized right to armed struggle. How do you recommend they carry that out?

How do you recommend that Palestinians engage in armed struggle?

Do you recognize the bombing of Hiroshima as a war crime?

The zionists played a part in the accendancy of Hamas over the PLO:

Communists from the PLFP are active in the current struggle as the “Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades”.

Is there any war that was fought in a way you find acceptable?

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

think based on what little I know of the region and the style of invasion, guerrilla tactics would likely be ideal.

The current engagement is largely guerilla tactics against military installations.

Finding some sort of ally on the global stage to help them argue their case against israels abundant political backing. Make the occupation as inconvenient for israels government as possible, while doing everything they can to shift the global publics opinion into sympathy for their fight.

This is not armed struggle. The Palestinians have a right to armed struggle.

The British 100% engaged in war crimes during WWII, including the bombing of the city of Dresden.

Can we agree that those war crimes (while wrong and regrettable) don’t mean the British were in the wrong in fighting WWII?

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

A music festival on the edge of the world’s largest open-air prison is not a neutral event.

Courting public opinion is not armed struggle.

We agree that Palestinians have a right to armed struggle, right?

How do you recommend they go about that?

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I suppose so. Still, Britain could have fought fair, on the battle fronts, after evaluating civilians. They werent wrong for fighting WWII in the first place; they were wrong for how they went about it.

Sure, I agree that’d be best. I can’t think of a war that hasn’t had a reprehensible component; I’m not sure it’s possible to entirely avoid civilian casualties.

I don’t think we really disagree on much here. I don’t think every aspect of what the Palestinian forces are doing is good, but I do think they’ve been forced into a (literal) corner, where they don’t have any choices.

@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Thank you for talking kindly to me! The current situation is very awful.

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

You were already given an answer.

Ok, you answered that guerilla tactics would be best.

Any guerrilla struggle involves harm (even if accidental) to civilian populations.

If we agree that Palestinians have a right to armed struggle, and agree that they should use guerrilla tactics, why are you not supporting them?

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Are you claiming the US was justified in its atomic bombing of hiroshima? By your given criteria, it also falls under armed struggle.

I do consider it a war crime, I used it as an example because that’s not common in Western spaces.

I’ll be happy to concede to you that the attack on the music festival was reprehensible, if you can concede that the Palestinian attacks on military installations were appropriate and called for.

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I actually don’t agree with the U$ bombing of Hiroshima, I just used it as an example that I thought would be easily understood.

I don’t think the same applies to the zionist entity because it does not have a just cause for war.

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Is there a war that you think was fought justly?

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Are you, like… stupid?

A little, yeah.

My stance from the beginning was always that palestinian attacks on israeli military installations is justified. Theyre being invaded. The problem is hamas commited a war crime that gave israel the justification to begin unquestioned and uncovered genocide.

I didn’t see your support for Hamas’ actions in this thread, sorry if I missed it.

The zionist entity is constantly commiting war crimes. I don’t think it needs an excuse.

Could you get your head out of your ass and stop trying to justify war crimes in your slobbering hunger to see the shadow of a drop of isreali blood? Youre continuing hamas’s work of making israel look good, and palestine doesnt need more enemies.

I don’t think the zionists constantly bombing children makes them look good.

You called a music festival a non neutral event, for fucks sake.

I don’t agree that it was a neutral event, but I’m happy to concede it as wrong for the sake of the argument here.

simply_surprise,
@simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Oh gross are you just an antisemite?

No, I am not. I have not said anything antisemitic, and will not.

Israel as a nation is the problem, not jews bud. Get a life.

I agree that settler-colonialism, as represented by Zionism, is the problem. Judaism is not synonymous with the zionist project.

I’m happy to see that we’ve wound down your arguments to where you’re grasping at straws and making up things to argue against.

People like you are the reason israel is going to win,

We’ll see.

And in every real war that has been fought, including the allies in WW2, heinous shit has happened.

Do the war crimes of the allies in WW2 mean that they were wrong to fight?

Israeli minister: 'We are fighting human animals' (www.middleeastmonitor.com)

Israel’s Defence Minister Yaov Gallant has ordered the complete closure of the Gaza Strip, including a ban on the entry of food, water, fuel or access to electricity as Israel intensifies its bombardment of the besieged Strip in the wake of the surprise attack by the Palestinian resistance. His comments have drawn criticism...

Out of curiosity, what results do you get when you search “US White supremacist militia”?

Those seem like terrorist organizations to me, and I think the U$ has better “human rights” than Gaza.

The Oklahoma City bombing was a white supremacist action, I believe.

At a glance, the Teamsters and IWW might have some resources for tech worker unions.

I think, if you wanted to push for a union in your workplace, someone who actually works there would have to lead the charge with signature collection etc.
