Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.

      Don’t you think that feelings of victims hating the perpetrators are completely justified?

            If only there were peaceful ways to get help that would almost have certainly garnered a lot more sympathy than resorting to terrorism…

              So, your solution is for the Palestinians to shut up and die? Nice, real peaceful

                You said it, not me, but continuing to propagate violence only makes your solution the only viable one. Food for thought.

                  Israel has only ever responded to peaceful protests with lethal violence

                  When peaceful resistance is made impossible, violent revolution is inevitable

                  You can’t expect people subjected to systematic violence and dehumanization for generations to not fight back for their own humanity and human rights

                    fight back for their own humanity and human rights

                    If only that was what they were fighting for.

                    When peaceful resistance is made impossible, violent revolution is inevitable

                    Hasn’t been made impossible, just costly. Still less costly than resorting to terrorism. What is the body count now? More or less than projected when Hamas was deciding to 10/7? Any closer to victory? Let me know when reality sinks in.

                  Israel shoots into crowds of peaceful protestors in Palestine and has for years.

                  Israeli Snipers have shot and killed on foreign journalists for years at these events.

              There are, in fact, none. That’s why Hamas managed to gain the Palestinian cause a lot of sympathy over the last 20 years while the PLO did absolutely fucking nothing.

              They tried peaceful protests and the Israeli military opened fire on them. They went to the UN for help and Israel called it “diplomatic terrorism” and put sanctions on Palestinians. What alternatives are there?

          Did the Jews forgive nazi perpetrators? Or were they still hunting them down many years after the war?

          So why do you want Palestinians to forgive nazi perpetrators?

      Pointless hate? These people are subject to Israeli Apartheid and acts of ethnic cleansing. Daily. What part of fighting that is pointless?

          You’re knowingly be disingenuous, but if not you should know that Israeli Palestinians are the exception in Israel’s system of oppression. They’re the number of Palestinians Israel found acceptable to be in their territory in 1948 when they were kicking everyone else out.

      It’s not radical to stand up for oppression and genocide. It’s not pointless to hate a group of people who stolen everything from you. The fact that you would label it as such just goes to show how little you actually value human lives and their rights.
