If your point is that you think I don't know how bad the occupation is, you're wrong.
The issue for me is that when you decide to walk away from the negotiating table, and start blowing up school buses, I really couldn't give less of a fuck what your grievances are.
And you think radicalization like that happens out of the blue? Do you condemn what Crazy Horse did and use the same logic on all indigenous people?
The whole fucking situation sucks but to say something as ignorant as "the imperialists wanted to negotiate with you" you're obviously coming at the situation from an point of view, one you might not even believe to be as biased as it is.
You also are treating all of the Palestinians as a homogeneous group, a line of logic used to justify their genocide. There are radicals and there are moderates, to call off negotiations because of one group takes away any political power of the other. "You can't control this group of people that we are responsible for radicalizing, so I guess we have no choice but to keep stealing more land and oppressing your people."
