in light of the current narrative warfare, this seems pretty relevant
We know, as our readers know, that the people are the resistance and vice versa: it is the relationship between the sword and shield, the heart and arm. Every Palestinian struggles under the occupation. As this historic battle rages on, we know that the tactics of the occupation will evolve. They will continue to target homes regardless of the presence of resistance activity in an attempt to demoralize the Palestinian people, draw blood, and accelerate their genocide.
As this happens, it is our obligation to our principles that dictates we must not fall into the trap of distinguishing between armed resistance fighters and non-combatants, as every Palestinian has a role in the current state of affairs. Every martyr must be mourned, and every zionist strike must be seen for the crime that it is. We will not allow the occupier or Western media to dehumanize us by creating distinctions between a colonized people whose remained existence on their lands is “militant.”
Every Palestinian is a civilian even if they hold arms. A settler is an aggressor, a soldier, and an occupier even if they are lounging on our occupied beaches. As the IOF calls up thousands of reserves, it is clear that all settlers are soldiers. There exists a colonizer and the colonized, an oppressed and the oppressor. The people cannot be dissociated from resistance, because we are in a constant state of resistance.
Certainly, an explosive response is coming.
This struggle has been imposed on us. To resist is to survive, and to resist is a right.
Unguided bombs, to put it lightly, are a shit weapon. In WW2, it took mass flights of bombers to do the damage to a specific target that a single modern jet with guided bombs could do. To achieve any accuracy with dumb bombs, you have to do dive bombing which puts you in range of manpads and anti air guns. To use unguided bombs means that the makes no distinction between where they think resistance fighters might be and where is clearly civilian. To the Israelis, all Palestinians are the enemy to be bombed and killed. They’re not concerned about collateral damage as even an “unfortunate side effect,” but it is instead a goal.
