The good guys are the citizens who want none of this.
The bad guys are the citizens who want all of this, and the military personal behind the weapons, and the generals calling the shots.
Same as it ever was.
Edit: Lemmy.ml disagreed and nobody was surprised ๐
This simplistic one size fits all argument falls flat when one side is being occupied and ethnically cleansed by the other side. It implies that Hamas is the โbad guyโ and all other occupied Palestinians are the โgood guy,โ and it implies that non-military Israeli settlers are the โโgood guy.โ But the truth is that the great majority of adult Israelis are militant settler-colonizers; and that Palestinians have the legal right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle; and that Israel, as an occupier, has no right to โself defense.โ
sees lemmy.ml
Sees disagreeing with a very, very simple truth
Yeah, not surprised.
When you can't support your own arguments, you could of course just acknowledge this or even just not comment at all instead of lashing out at those who can.
It is particularly disgusting when your arguments serve to obscure genocide.
thank you for telling me I should block you.
That's your own mess lol
Can we please block .world already?

Donโt care. If I gave a shit about the biggest instance because it has the most users, then I would have stayed on Reddit which has orders of magnitudes more users and to put it in the linked comment's words, they still are link aggregators in the the commenter thinks .world "are" Lemmy. The whole damn point of federation is your instance is not locked into what the biggest instance wants to do.
Iโm going to have to stop you right there, because the Palestinians are not the citizens of any state: they are a people being occupied, apatheided, and genocided by the state of Israel. So thereโs a โvery, very simple truthโ for you.
Oh my goodness would you look at that it's lemmy.ml again
Bye ๐
Donโt let the door hit you on the way out ๐
We'll meet again
What does your both-sidesing accomplish here? Are you trying to say that Palestine's resistance to colonialism isn't justified?
If so, then you're doing this gandhi quote, but for the palestinian resistance.
