sorry, bud. you can't just set random people on fire. only Israel gets to do that
bud, "israel" turned those hostages into chunky marinara months ago
After ignoring strong evidence that hamas was planning a raid too. Israel wanted hostages and wanted those hostages to die.
Run For Their Lives
How I want all colonizers to feel all of the time if I'm being honest
One of the worst attempts at a pun I've ever seen.
They didn't run fast enough 🤣
Run For Their Lives, which organized the walk, said, "This is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release."
The journalist gets an F for not immediately asking what this person thought the best way to free the hostages would be. Guarantee it wasn't ceasefire now.
They want a ceasefire where Hamas surrenders immediately and just gives up all the hostages in exchange for nothing.
”yeah this is the cult.”
Came to post this, could care less some settlers get lit up.
this is what the ruling class has decided will be normal 
Look i know the party line on adventureism, but im still gonna root for it
it was a bunch of american jews. not settlers, not soldiers, not servants of the zionist state
the optics of this attack are terrible. it doesn’t matter if you ‘know the party line on adventurism’ if you’re blackpilledly braying for blood anyways. that just gives zionists what they want— justification for their ‘it was never about palestine’ garbage. what a strategic faceplant and a gift to our enemies. i unironically completely disavow Boulder guy
EDIT: Thank you all for your perspectives. I see now the error of my ways and will embrace the revolutionary potential of "firebombing Assisted Living residents"
American Jews who what? We can't keep infantilizing them, they are ignoring a genocide by bringing up "hostages" that even bibi doesn't care about.
they're genocide supporters, yes. A 10 year old with leukemia waving an israeli flag is also a genocide supporter. that doesn't make them a strategically sound or particularly high-ranking assassination target
These incidents aren't about strategically sound actions, they're spontaneous acts of outrage against a genocide the Western world seems to have deemed no big deal. This is the price the rulers of the West have decided as acceptable to continue supporting genocide. These acts will continue, no doubt about it, and who are we to stay they should stop? May not be strategically sound, but can you honestly say it's immoral to kill a supporter of an active genocode?
Disagree, look at their organization's website. Those people are sick in the head and I hope their skin grafts hurt like hell
looks like adventurism will get more popular
FBI were on the case pretty quick. Hmm.
The FBI was aware of this individual before this event occurred 
"hostages" that were kidnapped from their tanks, i'm sure.
this ain't it but i guess i'd be ok with firebombing a nazi rally so 
Ultimately whatever your feelings on this action...Isn't this kinda the inevitable conclusion without any effort to de-escalate?
The ruling class has made it perfectly clear that any and all posturing and moralizing about political violence and human rights is complete cynical horseshit so inevitably you're going to have people that call them on it. Wrong target, wrong method et al.....I don't know how we really are supposed to engage in that kind of dialogue when nobody in authority seems to have any interest in doing so.
Very very dumb, locations of mic complexes are available, this is some protest, not directly involved people. (50/50 on entrapment tbh in this case, considering shirtlessness)
Kind of predictable though when the other guy went after low level embassy staffers. Unfortunately you start doing that and people see it a lot differently than doming Healthcare CEOs, the message copycats get is just get anyone involved at any level, just unleash your frustrations on easy access soft targets. And that's appealing to people because hitting the targets that kind of matter more is often much more difficult and challenging and many of these people are acting emotionally and in an undisciplined, glory-seeking way.
This is unfortunately what you get. People doing these kinds of attacks that don't in any way disrupt the zionist machine, don't really intimidate those who matter at the top because you're just hitting the very bottom and play right into their narrative and let them justify more crackdowns and paint everyone with the same broad brush as just hating Jews, as being terrorists, as being willing to kill uninvolved civilians.
People you know justified the attacks on those embassy people because they posted ghoulish pro-zionist views online, well these people were posting those views IRL with their little protest here and the only difference is those other people were official low level but easily replaced employees. Neither one is going to resonate as justifiable to most people, most Americans, but this is even less so.
It's very ineffectual. What the 'left' in the US does compared to even the UK where those activists regularly shut down Elbit systems and their suppliers. You know I think most British people don't look at those activists there shutting down the weapons companies as dangerous, hateful terrorists whereas it's easy to paint these attackers in the US as just that and that's a problem. These are acts of undisciplined despair and emotion but they're going to hurt the disciplined parts of the movement all so they can feel better about themselves by taking action. It's very selfish and it plays right into the hands of the zioniosts who get to claim Jews are under attack and rally around needing to uphold the zionist project.
This isn't going to scare zionists from the streets. It isn't going to slow the genocide, it isn't going to give pause to those carrying it out, it isn't going to give pause to them abetting it here in the US.
You know I think most British people don't look at those activists there shutting down the weapons companies as dangerous, hateful terrorists
On the contrary local people have regularly participated in crowding and shutting the police out, preventing arrest while vandalism is ongoing. In fact, getting hundreds of local people participating has been instrumental in ensuring that the activists are viewed as doing what the people want rather than anything else.
The embassy workers are associated with the state, rather directly, these are home grown dipshits. Again, considering convenience (domestic targets, mass instead of direct weapons, tenuous connection) for propaganda, it smells very fishy
This is unfortunately what you get. People doing these kinds of attacks that don't in any way disrupt the zionist machine, don't really intimidate those who matter at the top because you're just hitting the very bottom and play right into their narrative and let them justify more crackdowns and paint everyone with the same broad brush as just hating Jews, as being terrorists, as being willing to kill uninvolved civilians.
That is until it gets to the point where people start forming lynch mobs to lynch any potential Zionist and vandal any potential Zionist-owned stores. Of course, pogroms and Kristallnachts with anti-Zionist characteristics isn't something we should wish for because there's no chance in Hell an "anti-Zionist" lynch mob would actually be anti-Zionist. And I think the day when a lynch mob goes after a Zionist or worse, a suspected Zionist (ie a Jew) is a lot closer than we think.
Imagining the inevitable plot twist where the attacker was just some antisemitic chud with zero consistent ideology, just completely brain-melted by the contradictions of Western capitalism
It's tragic, but Israel was no angel.
If they weren’t doing a genocide; this wouldn’t have happened
Something smells off about this whole thing.
I'm sure Isreal would love a Reichstag moment. Cops were out doing vandalism during the George Floyd protests and everyone was blaming anti-fascists and BLM for it.
There is no reason for a march for hostages on Pearl Street except to antagonize people. I've seen them out there before with Israeli flags trying to piss people off. Boulder is extremely liberal, too.
I think it's revealing when the organizers said their event is not a protest. A protest is a political demonstration where the attendees shows disapproval of an entity which has power. Zionists have the full backing of the US government. Zionists are happy about the actions of the US government. Zionists are happy about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Protests demonstrate for oppressed people, a demonstration for the oppressor is not a protest at all.
By admitting that their political action is not a protest, the participants admit that they support the genocide in Gaza and they admit that they are not being oppressed. They're not protesting, they're gloating.
When they talk about hostages, we all know they're bullshitting because they have this shit-eating grin like they know what they're doing and they feel untouchable. Crybully behavior, some of the worst people on Earth.
I saw a video of the perp on reddit and he seems like a basket case. Just the right kind of unhinged the fbi could wind up and set lose like a top.
Clearly they just got burned by their meth pipes, or whatever other deflection right wingers would use about a legitimate protest being attacked like this.
Reading that article, it makes me wish those marching assholes got firebombed at least one more time. Not to mention the shit in there about how killing a Christian Zionist is antisemitic.
What a beautiful sight to behold
I love these psyops ahah news - “someone is attacking israeli for supporting a genocide” internet - “based” news- “noooo you should feel bad, the zios died!” Internet - “thats great news lol”
