You are denying genocide by ignoring the objective evidence, widespread and seen by millions, of on-going atrocities and claiming I’m fabricating justification. Personally I don’t know how such a person could live with themself in light of what we know.

As I said I’m a Buddhist, Buddhism would agree that it creates bad karma to kill. But this figure is seen as a bodhisattva, or a form of the Buddha:

Righteous indignation, fury in the face of injustice is a form of compassion. This is distinct from hatred. Killing should be avoided, but there are costs to being calm in the face of violence. In this historical moment it would cause more death and suffering to allow the IDF to continue unopposed. Killing is not a solution, it is a pragmatic action to take if no other is available, and I agree it should be the ultimate last resort.

I’m sure they would, why should I care? They will make any justification to further their genocide. People paying attention can see the truth. That is the point, you can say anything to justify actions but there is an objective reality. And in that reality, it is an act of kindness to fight the IDF.
