      What do you mean by participating? Is just living on stolen land enough to deserve death? Even just visiting as well?

      Yes moving or visiting stolen land is putting yourself in harms way because occupied peoples have a right to violently resist occupation. Obviously, a non violent solution would be preferable but the lives lost during armed resistance are largely due to the existence of the occupation.

      That is just the human shield argument, but applied to Isreal.

      The pattern is typically settlers move in, settlers get into a conflict with the native population, and the settler state uses this conflict as justification for further expansion. Settlers are completely complicit in this.

        This post is saying that the violence was good, that is my issue. Like yes Isreal is to blame for it as well, but killing unarmed ppl is bad. It does not matter who they are, why they are where they are, it is bad to kill ppl. who are not fighting.
