God help them. The slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining

    I think it doesn’t help to turn the focal core of what you’re upset with to that, in this moment. Yeah, it sucks. But tell me why I should look a Palestinian 8-year old in the eye and tell them their parents deserved to be tortured and killed. A tiger is backed into a corner and stabbed repeatedly, and swipes out with its claws — if you’re unhappy with who it hits, let’s root for the tiger to liberate itself so there isn’t a need for any swiping. And let’s also be upset with the assholes who would put their children in the way of a cornered tiger as a means of controlling it

        I know I wouldn’t want to be the subject of either of these pictures,

        The Israelis could have fucked off back home any fucking time

            This is a hilarious argument if you apply to other places.

            “What were the children of American colonists meant to do? They’ve never lived anywhere else.”

            “What were the children of white South African colonists meant to do? They’ve never lived anywhere else.”

            “What were the children of Australian colonists meant to do? They’ve never lived anywhere else.”

              Find me the indigenous activists calling for the forced relocation of all white people back to Europe

              The idea that dismantling systems of oppression means doesn’t mean that white people will be forced back to Europe, what are you talking about?

            What the fuck? Israel is moving settlers from Israel and other parts of the world into the West Bank with the explicit purpose of genociding the Palestinian people. Israel goes into the West Bank, rips Palestinians out of their homes, demolishes them, and moves settlers into new buildings. This is happening in 2023.

            No investigation, no right to speak.

              What does that have to do with being forcibly relocated to countries that won’t even take them? And what about the ones that dobresir their government? Should they be allowed to stay? Would some future Palestinian court be set up to determine that?

              Israelis are like Canadians or Americans in terms of how they relate to global hierarchies and oppression. I would wager that’s what most Hexbear users are as well.

                Generally speaking, as far as I’m aware, most leftists advocate for a Truth and Reconciliation type situation in post-liberation Palestine yes.
