Bulldozing peoples’ homes after forcing them into an open-air prison and then throwing a rave twenty feet from the fence is a war crime and should not be normalized, but here we are.

And I am with you on that take. The settling policy and apartheid regime wasn’t right. But that doesn’t make killing tourists on a music festival any better.

No, please tell me more about how this attack is comparable to a brutal genocidal occupation that has been going on for generations. How little do you value Palestinian lives to make this calculation?

Two wrongs don’t make a right. I despise the settling policies of Israel the same way most other people and governments in the west do.

Should Palestinians have a revolution against their oppressors?

What should it look like?

Attack the military, not civilians.

And your response is the same as those people and governments. You blame the victims, wring your hands over their response to a violent occupation and give cover to the settlers by both-sidesing the situation

I agree that Israel committing two wrongs does not put them in the right. Settlers shouldn’t live on contested land and act surprised when it becomes a war zone.
