False. Resistance group are still resistance group even when they commit crimes. They still have the right to continue to fight Isrsel currenctly commiting genocide.
You would reject all the resistance mouvements and their sacrifice in previous occupations with your logic

All violence in a settler colony, including the violence perpetrated by and against the colonizers, is the fault of the colonizers.
You’re right, they should be given advanced military technology and intelligence data to make sure they can more efficiently kill only soldiers. If we’re wishing for things, I wish every “Israeli” genocide supporter would just disappear without the resistance having to do anything.

What a dehumanising and despicable statement. The people murdered by Hamas did nothing wrong. Certainly nothing that could justify their deaths. They did not colonise anything either; they were simply born there.
This conflict really brings out the worst in some people. On the one hand, they blame the murder of innocent people on colonialism, and on the other, on the alleged human shield tactic.
This contextualisation, relativisation and, in some cases, romanticisation of human suffering is absolutely disgusting and must stop.

It’s extremely telling that you read this:
And came to the conclusion that it meant “every ‘Israeli’ who died deserved it” rather than “some of them didn’t deserve to die, but their deaths are still the fault of ‘Israel’ because it’s a colonial project that cause this to happen”.
Yeah, it did happen because of colonialism. It’s also extremely telling that you present these statements as equivalent, as if “‘Israel’ is a settler colony” and “Hamas use human shields” are in any way equally valid statements.

My point is that you gloss over the suffering of innocent people while excusing the actions of the respective murderers, just as people on the other side do. Namely, as a necessary and inevitable consequence of the other leaders’ actions. You argue structurally against the innocent victims using the same logic as the supporters of the IDF.
It is a reversal of perpetrator and victim to appease your own conscience. An exaggerated and thus dehumanising tribalism that draws legitimacy for crimes against innocent people from the crimes of another group of actors. It is a misanthropic and cynical logic with which any atrocity could be justified (which is, of course, done constantly around the world).
Hamas and IDF supporters are equally malicious and disgusting. The murder of innocent people is always and fundamentally wrong. Leftists must reject and fight it.
