MODERATORS
Users here cheering this, I hope you realize Gaza is going to get flattened.
I support whatever Palestinians support, I trust that they understand the stakes better than anyone else. To me, the timing seems as good as it could be: massive political instability in Israel, west distracted in Ukraine, Iran seems ready to support, and the Saudi-Israeli normalization talks were happening this week and making progress. This offensive and whatever retaliation Israel attempts could derail that entire agreement.
Bibi is probably going to pass his reforms now. I do think if the situation gets too bad the US is going to send aid to Israel like they always do.
Hezbollah already said they will attack if Israel invades Gaza.
As opposed to when they flatten it regularly?
Would rather cheer instead of preemptively cry like you do
So much braver to sit around and be slowly strangled to death by the Israeli occupation
I'm pretty sure we all realize the stakes
Would you rather they be flattened at Israel's lesiure without any resistance?
easy to cheer for blood from your computer in the global north
Do you really think Palestine would value your "pity" more then shows of support and solidarity because your supposedly "non-western?" Why even bother making this thread if they were such fools in your eyes for even trying?
I said none of that, you're arguing with a person you made up
Were you referring to the people openly wishing genocide in retaliation? Otherwise I don't understand how you could possibly discern the comparatively few people from the west who would be cheering this on.
sorry to interrupt your libidinal embrace of violence, enjoy the spectacle
but nobody here is defending israel
Please go back to reddit. Good lord.

Wow cringe larp libidinal violence, much?
Do you think "the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood" was a statement of pacificism?
Do you think if Harper's Ferry succeeded, John Brown would've left all the poor, innocent Southerner "civilians" alone?
As a "member" of the global south, let me tell you. If John Brown had done that to every white southerner who, directly or indirectly, supported the slave system... That would have been incredible based. Is the least they deserved.
Fuck slavers, fuck imperialist, fuck the Israeli state apartheid over Palestine.
Now, get in the tunnel
That is what the Haitians did to their enslavers and oppressors. Or do we weep for slavers now?
This wasn't at issue, the question is if every civilian bar none is culpable, which I disagree with
No, the Southern civilians would've come to the defense of their beloved Fascist state and Peculiar Institution and made themselves militants, just like Zionist "civilians"
Anyone who defends the Zionist state has a rocket with their name on it.
OK?
that means every old lady [...] in it should die

Brilliant insight. I'm sure absolutely no Palestinian would've known the Zionists would retaliate by bombing Gaza. They pulled off this military operation without considering something that the Zionists had always done.
What do you propose Palestinians should do instead to liberate themselves?
what else is new
Maybe if the palestinians packed up all their stuff, freely gave everything they had to the settlers, then dug their own graves and jumped into them, the settlers would be happy and maybe even reconsider their project. It's worth a try!
