Firstly they did not even know that musical festival was taking place.
Why does this matter. Would Israels reaction be different? They wanted to genocide from the beginning.
Secondly they are not “civilians” they are settlers illegally occupying Palestinian land. With the understanding that they would be protected by their government.
They are evil fascists, but that doesn’t make them combatants.
lastly they are not a “religious extremist organization” even if they once had been.
Do you have a source on this? I am open to changing my position on this.
So here you are legitimizing violence of a settler colonial ethnostate as “self defense” That statement is very broad.
I am legitimizing specific violence of a settler colonial ethnostate as “self defense”. I think they are in their right to dismantle Hamas using violence. But what they have done has far surpassed that. I think Israel has the ability to arrest/kidnap and try high ranking members of Hamas. I think that would be a reasonable response to October 7th. But they did the worst possible thing and I don’t condone that.
I was far too generous before. I wish the same upon you as I do on the IDF.
Oh yeah, my belief that Israel is a fascist genocidal state surely makes me morally equivalent to IDF. These nuanced replies I am making is like I am out there killing Palestinian babies my self. Sure!
@deaf_fish@midwest.social Answer for yourself you Nazi piece of shit.

If you do not ban people like this I will advocate defederating based on the Nazi bar principle.
As of the time I am posting this, you have still yet to ban this openly fascist user justifying genocide.
I am specifically referring to this part of their comment:
Quite literally and openly declaring their genocide as legitimate. This should be a very fucking easy case for banning someone. They acknowledged that Israel is a “genocidal ethnostate” and then in the next fucking sentence say THIS SHIT.
Not gonna happen, admins got him.

Maybe 20 years from now, when everyone will have always opposed this, he’ll realize that the armed resistance against it might have been right. I doubt it, though.
wait, we are federated?
