While I agree with you, it’s still a war crime to take civilians as hostages.

ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 5 months ago“Their terror attack” lol. My man, if the term terror attack was around in the 1940s, Hitler would have used it to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. And make no mistake- this is a ghetto uprising. If you don’t want people do make a violent bid for freedom, don’t spend decades torturing and murdering them in an open air concentration camp. Simple.
Terrorist is buzzword that fascist states apply to people who stamd up, who return even a fraction of the violence they are made to suffer every day. Every slave revolt and anti-colonial uprising in history has been tarred with the same brush.

Nah, it’s safe to apply the label terrorist to ANYONE who decides to hold children for ransom

I’m with you here. The violence is of Israel’s own making, but no matter how “just” one believes their actions are, they are still against international humanitarian law. I apply the same standard to everyone, be it Hamas, Israel, Poland, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, China, United States, etc.
If you are willing to spill civilian blood, you also should be willing to take responsibility for those actions.

I must’ve missed the part where the 30k civilians murdered killed anyone

Your numbers are higher than even the hummus ones right now, unless you really believe that only 5k were soldiers

The term “civilian” has been actively stripped of all meaning when people willfully occupying native land and displacing the population as those natives are slaughtered are included.
