      Virtue signaling.

      If you don't support the only existing material force fighting for Palestinians, you don't support Palestinian rights. We can't idealistically pray for some magic solution to Israeli occupation. We have to live in the material world, where resistance are messy and people are imperfect.

      So, much like her socialism, these words are all an act to sheepdog radicals into the Democratic Party. That's her job.

          Without violence, Israel's genocide would march forward unimpeded. Is that what you want? Do you want every Palestinian dead?

          Violence is their only choice. That's sad and terrible, but we shouldn't condemn resistance fighters for fighting back against occupation and settlement the only way they can.

          I bet you support Ukraine. What's the difference between Russia seizing Crimea and the Donbass, and Israel seizing more and more land over the past 70 years? Do an occupied people not have a right to defend themselves?

            I'm Irish, and I can tell you that my people fought a violent and bloody revolution against the strongest empire in the world, and they did so without going on a rampage of indiscriminately killing innocent civilians, women, children and family pets.

            You can support rights and sovereignty for Palestine without justifying the evil terrorists actions of Hamas over the weekend. If anything Hamas has now done more damage to the Palestinian cause than anything in history.

                Did I say that? Or do you simply not understand the definition of the words "indiscriminately" and "rampage"?

                    I'm dehumanizing how? By plainly and literally describing what over the weekend happened in an objective fashion?

                    indiscriminate (adj) - done at random or without careful judgment.

                    rampage (n) - violent or excited behavior that is reckless, uncontrolled, or destructive.

                    You clearly don't have a leg to stand on here. Time to move on, go talk into a shoebox or something.

            Nice bullshit scenario.

            "One side has to kill the other there is no alternative, nothing else can be done" - you, a moron.

            She's advocating for less violence. Period fullstop and she always does. Makes sense.

            Palestinians responding with violence makes sense.

            I do support Ukraine but Ukraine did not invade a Russian place and attack citizens and innocents and defenseless people. So these are not the same.

            This whole situation is fucked but you're not gonna play this fucking game and pull it apart in one side or the other, you qre the problem. I support the innocent people. Fuck Israel's current regime, fuck people who shoot other people. Fuck rapists.

            What the fuck are you actually talking about honestly?

              Israel could end it's occupation any time it wants.

              Palestine has no choice. What the fuck else can they do?

              The conflict didn't start just a few days ago! The occupation has been ongoing for decades! Settlers are invaders, Israel invaded first and this is retaliation.

                Agreed.

                Palestine has no choice. What the fuck else can they do?

                I don't know but this isn't it. What happened here was foreign intervention pushing for aggression and Hamas using the pain of widows and orphans to fuel violence.

                They don't win this way though. This is not the solution this was a bad idea.

                  I don’t know

                  Then shut up maybe?

                  Sorry. It's just, this is the only choice. They don't know what else to do either. There is no other recourse. Death now or death later.

                  They don’t win this way though. This is not the solution this was a bad idea.

                  This I agree with. I think this ends in genocide.

                  Thing is? The only choices were to die on their feet or on their knees. They chose the human option. It's terrible, but I can't condemn them.

                  Spitting in your captor's eye and getting killed for it is only human, no matter how much Israel calls them animals.

                    Your plan is to keep murdering people. Shut the fuck up lol

                    This action only let Israel unleash more violence. How are you this stupid?

                    Go learn about civil rights movements, you don't win a fight like this it don't work.

                Nah move the goal post further.

                What you're seeing is trauma being radicalized into violence. This attack likely was supported by foreign aid likely Iranian maybe further.

                So this is actually what resistance looks like with foreign aid.
