Palestinians get killed when they do nothing, they get killed when they protest peacefully. Western libs continue to fund and ignore the deaths of Palestinians regardless. Palestinians are being murdered en masse now for those who have taken up arms, but their reality has been that they are murdered en masse regardless anyway, because the plan is to remove them (edit: that is to say, “responding” to their resistance is just a pretext, an excuse to kill/remove Palestinians will always be found, no matter what the narrative around it is). Some random liberal who openly admits not knowing much about the situation and refusing to support Palestinian liberation because an organized resistance is too scary for liberal bystanders to think about really means nothing to Palestinians. Westerners, settlers, liberals can debate all they want about it and be sad that Palestinians aren’t dying more quietly and politely, but it’s a basic reality that people who are being oppressed are going to resist. And when your plan is to remove a people and you silence and kill off and ignore all of their peaceful resistance efforts (of which there always have been and are many, but it’s ignored), all that remains is organized militant resistance. If you remain ignorant of it now or only care to genuinely listen to one side then you truly do not give a fuck about stopping violence, you just want to keep having dance parties next to concentration camps.
I’m not going to respond further but good luck in learning, I hope you mean it.
Thank you for helping me find truth. I have been learning. I am stunned. FUCK ISRAEL!! I knew nothing before you all talked to me. Israel IS a Fascist and evil regime. They have terrorized and subjugated 5 million people for 73 years. They have pushed Palestinians to their breaking point. You can consider me an ally now, for whatever that is worth. The US government that I helped elect is part of the problem so I am not without blame here. Is ignorance an excuse? I don’t know. I am sickened by what I am learning…
“Look, someone believes differently than we do. We gotta kill them” Sounds like fascism
Massacring people ‘for their opinions’ existed for centuries before Fascism and was visible in, for example, the United States in the 1780s. Likewise, while some Fascists (e.g. the Squadristas) preferred lethal force, others were content to imprison their enemies on islands, in concentration camps, or elsewhat, before letting them go. It is important to note that like neoliberals, the Fascists distinguished between acceptable and unacceptable dissent. Just a few days ago I shared a document demonstrating how the Third Reich allowed Zionist organizations, even if they were critical of the Reich.
Fascism was the form that capital had to assume due to its own deficiencies, namely the concessions to the proletariat. Quashing dissent was not the heart of Fascism; it was petty bourgeois anticommunism.
I wish I could actually talk about this shit with liberals but ya’ll are too stuck in the fucking clouds
