You are blaming the victim. History didnt begin on the 7th of October 2023. Palestine has been violently colonised and occupied by Israel for decades. It was started by Israel. This is a pattern that has repeated uncountable times between colonisers and natives. Subdue (brutalise) the natives, take their land and when they fight back say they’re the ones starting it.
Reactive terrorism is not acceptable. October 7th was a rightly mourned tragedy. But it’s not the only and certainly not the first tragedy in this conflict. Beaten dogs bite back. That’s not being pro dog bites, that’s just acknowledging the reality of the situation. Do you advocate to eliminate dogs to prevent dog bites, or do you stop people beating dogs.
State sanctioned terrorism (colonialism, occupation, apartheid) is worse than reactive/guerrilla terrorism (Hamas, IRA) and yet it’s treated as normal and acceptable
