    I kinda understood the disproportionate response for the first few weeks of this war. I just thought they were trying to be thorough, or to make a point, so that those terrorist events didn’t happen again. As time went on I started to see more indiscriminate bombing, more killing of civilians, more territory being claimed by Israel.

    The pager “supply chain attack” was madness, they had no regard for who might be nearby. That seemed a lot like the terrorism this started this current leg of the conflict and was a clear escalation. They haven’t been able to claim self-defense for a very long time. They are clearly the aggressors, and yup, if you try to criticize their actions you are accused of being an anti-zionist or a nazi. It’s all so broken and sad.

      Hopefully you see now that Israel deserved and earned 10/7, that this response from them is nothing new, that this fascist colonial project masquerading as a country has been doing this nonstop since before it’s official formation in the 1940s.

        Sorry, no, I do not see it that way. While Israel has slowly settled additional territory, things have been relatively peaceful there for the last decade or so. There is no excuse for terrorism.

          I can’t reconcile

          Israel has slowly settled additional territory

          with

          There is no excuse for terrorism

          The IDF is stealing land, making people homeless, burning crops, murdering Palestinians, and so on.

          What is an appropriate response in your view?

              The IDF just murdered your family, razed your house, and torched your crops. You are now homeless and alone, you can’t travel and you’re broke. What is your next course of action?
