You’re not a civilian if you actively partake in an ongoing ethnic cleansing.
So tourists visiting contested areas are actively participating in genocide? Pretty bold take, don’t you think?
Were the Native American attacks on white settlers encroaching on their land unjustified? Were those settlers innocent, or participating in the ongoing occupation and genocide?
Do you understand how settler colonialism works?
People go and settle land that is not theirs, taking it from the rightful owners, and the regime defends against any attempt to prevent that by using violence under the guise of claiming it is their right to “defend themselves”.
These people are not innocent. They have actively chosen to take part in settling land that is not theirs, stealing it from the palestinians. They are willing participants in the zionist project of settling the land. Your participation in the claim that they are just defending themselves is literally participation in helping settler colonialism by perpetuating its myths.
The Palestinians are the ones defending their land. The settlers are the ones stealing it.
You cannot be an israeli and not partake in the attacks on Palestinian civilians. That’s what makes you an Israeli. Literally the only way to be an Israeli.
