THIS! When those in power start dehumanizing others, you know there's killing coming. Hotel Rwanda is a great history lesson on this.

It feels like a great time for everyone to take a massive chill pill.

"Hah! Nice argument~ but you failed to consider that

[reverb bass boosted] Itttssss cooommpliicccaaattteeeeeddddd"

Seeing as Americans Canadians and many other nationalities were killed in the attack by hamas. That was a foregone conclusion. It would have been unusual if these countries don't respond to support those attacked.

I cannot support hamas's attack. I can absolutely blame Israel for creating the conditions that brought it about. When the average age of someone in Gaza is 19. And there wasn't some sort of population boom 19 years ago. Something is seriously fucked up.

Two wrongs don't make a right. And I wish the United States was largely going to stay out of the cluster fuck Israel has created. But with Americans dead. As I said that was not going to happen.

It's a meaningless label. Who decided they were terrorists? You?

If killing civilians is the requirement to be terrorists, every single military on Earth is a terrorist organization. That's what war IS.

They can pop up anywhere. Terrorism occurs when extremists of any type had enough of whatever they are upset about and it pushes them over the edge. Whether it is reasonable or not. Regular people can also be pushed to do terrible things with just the right amount of propaganda and other emotional manipulation. Some people just enjoy it.

Believing it cannot happen to you too with enough pressure and lies is wrong.

Every group that fights an occupying force gets labeled a terrorist organization.

The people fighting against a genocidal state are 'bad people'? 'Terrorists', even?

What exactly is wrong about fighting back against one's own genocide? Should they be peacefully protesting it instead?

Oh stop it! There's a literal genocide going on and you feel the need to start handing out these "both sides bad!" "Reminders".

Reminder that everyone in this conflict besides Civilians are bad people.

Shut the fuck up. Every Israeli "civilian" is complicit in the torture of Palestinians, except for children. Not to mention they're all potential combatants anyway.

There is literally no difference between oppressor and oppressed, you imbecile you, absolute moron.

Israel: we literally don't consider the people of Gaza to be humans

You: sheesh, I really I can't tell the difference between these two!

The rebels in star wars are terrorists because they killed civilians living in the death star. They're just as bad as the empire.

What definition of "terrorist organization" are we using here?

Every single liberation group was considered a terrorist organization. Fuck, even Antifa gets called that and they're not even an organization.

Reminder that both siders are the biggest status quo supporters of existing horrors. In your case, it happens to be support for Israeli colonisation and genocide since over 80 years. Calling Palestine defenders terrorists means you actively want Israel and USA to win.

Aren't the governments made of and supported by civilians?
