    The civilian settlers who are taking Palestinian homes by force are an occupying force.

    The attack by Hamas was not legitimate because it was against random civilians.

        I’m not saying Israelis are guilty or deserved the attack on civilians, but Israel is a settler-colonial state. So is the US, but I’m not going to call for every US citizen with colonial roots to be forced off the continent (especially since that would include myself, my ancestors - including recent ones - were awful people who did awful things).

        You can acknowledge that the state of Israel is an illegal settlement without calling for genocide, just as you can acknowledge that the US is founded on stolen land without calling for death to all Americans.

        I just woke up this morning to the news that six hostages had been found dead in a tunnel in Gaza, cause of death multiple gunshot wounds at close range.

        I struggle to find sympathy for Palestine after reading a story like that.

          All of Palestine? You gotta refine that opinion dude, it’s ~5 million people.
