Yeah... let's trust these people instead.

Would you really like to exchange videos like that? I can drop you stuff with Palestinians being happy firing rockets, staging scenes for false victim reports etc.

In the end, it's all about doing what's better for your people or not, being terrorists or not. Hamas are very much below what anyone would call "adequate". Israel is nothing like that.

Would you really like to exchange videos like that?

Do you have any videos showing a massively-funded, western-backed military machine bombing Israeli hospitals and refugee camps filled with Israeli people?

Sure... go ahead!

[–] rdri 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And do you have videos showing how firing rockets at Israel actually helped Palestinians achieve anything good?

[–] masquenox 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This attack by Hamas has done a lot to widen the cracks appearing in the west's pro-Israel propaganda effort - the fact that you are here trying (and failing) to patch the gigantic holes in that sinking propganda ship is proof.

So it was worth it to kill that many people and you don't have issues with it? So you support such aggression?

[–] masquenox 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So it was worth it to kill that many people

Oh, look... another white supremacist that only started caring when Israelis started dying! You sure came out of the woodwork when that happened, didn't you?

So you support such aggression?

I am perfectly fine with the colonized defending themselves from colonizers using all means available to them.

Your thinly-veiled pearl-clutching is fooling less and less people these days, isn't it?

Where were exactly those people, who look like they care about Palestinians, all these years? It almost looks like they started dying just recently too.

I am perfectly fine with the colonized defending themselves from colonizers using all means available to them.

I'm, too, perfectly fine with people performing mass suicide and making lives of their fellow citizens worse as the only result. I just can't help calling them stupid for that.

Oh, you're only hearing them now and that must mean they didn't exist before, eh? Just where did you think BDS comes from?

perfectly fine with people performing mass suicide

Didn't take you very long, did it, white supremacist?

They did a very good job being loud and relevant probably. It's just my mistake for not noticing their existence.

Didn't take you very long, did it, white supremacist?

What does that even mean? My reaction to people performing suicides does not depend on colors.

If you can call people who prefer life over death "supremacists", then yeah I'm pretty much that. Wish everyone could become supremacists. I hope people can get educated, if not about history then at least about logic, so they could avoid such mistakes.

This you?

I’m, too, perfectly fine with people performing mass suicide

Do remind me... was you up there pretending that colonized people are responsible for their own genocide? Or was that somebody else?

It doesn't get more batshit white supremacist than this.

[–] rdri 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not about colonialism. It's about doing what leads to your own death, or not doing it. About doing what helps you achieve goals for better future, or blindly firing rockets at someone who you hate instead, building command centers under hospitals and doing nothing to actually protect your people.

[–] masquenox 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sooo... that was you pretending that colonized people are responsible for their own genocide.

Now the only thing that's left to discern is what brand of white supremacism you prefer - KKK or Nazi?

[–] rdri 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You are mistaking responsibility with consequences.

[–] masquenox 1 points 10 months ago

And what would a white supremacist know of responsibility or consequences?
