At least 9 Americans killed in Hamas attack on Israel(www.axios.com)

It’s not victim blaming. It’s a fucking war zone. There are US citizens in Palestine right now stealing Palestinian houses. How are the Palestinians supposed to know who’s who? Stay the fuck out of the active war zone if you don’t belong there. It’s not like the Palestinians who don’t have a choice, people on vacation 100% had a choice.

“ViCTiM bLAmINg”. The victims are the Palestinians. Get the fuck outa here.

If the vacation is taxed then isn’t the vacationer effectively funding the apartheid state?

Do children deserve it? no. Did the parents of those children put them in that situation? yes.

But tell me, where do you draw the line? Murder is bad but funding a murderous government isn’t? How many steps do you have to be from the hitman before your conscious is clear?

And are you seriously out here pulling a “think of the children” as if an apartheid state is just super cool and nice to children? Do you need to refresh yourself on what apartheid means? I’ll wait

Edit: OP never comes back to explain why murdering 1 Israeli child is worse than murdering thousands of Palestinian children. They don’t have an answer, they have talking points.

Barbaric terrorism, raping, murder, mutilation, parading dead bodies down the street, can not be justified by anything. Sorry for you if you think differently.

You’re literally doing it right now. You fully acknowledge that Israel is an apartheid state but you’re not acknowledging anything they’ve done wrong.

For the people who don’t get it, Israel was established in the 40’s when the US and British took the land from the native Palestinians and created Israel as a state for the jewish people. This isn’t ancient history. Some of your grandparents are older than Israel.

Israel exists on stolen land and their goal is fully destroy Palestine. It’s as black and white as can be. It’s murder. It’s very nearly genocide. But the US is cool with it because we use them as a FOB.

Rapid here is defending murder. The recent actions of Palestine are, an admittedly gross but justified, self defense.

Edit: moved a comma
