Atrocities happening to innocents that are a part of the oppressor state or group, is still the fault of the oppressor, not the oppressed for using the same tactics in their defense.
#palestine#current events#there was another post earlier talking about people living in imperialist settler countries (i.e. america) can't recognize the violence#done by a fellow imperialist settler against the native population because it calls up their own hypocrisy and#makes them afraid of the possibility of the same thing happening in their own country#so they bend over backwards to overlook and justify violence in anti-colonialist rebellion#and it really do be like that#israel has been killing palestinian civilians for 60 years and the world turned a blind eye#hamas is absolutely awful sure but are we to pretend like america's hands are any cleaner?#not trying to start anything#but damn#since i'm getting some replies to this i'll just add: violence exists in context#you can't look at the situation happening today without examining what transpired before#where did the violence begin#what factors contributed to this explosive reaction#how many people have died before today#et cetera#there's that one graph going around comparing the human costs from both sides#you know the one#the violence of the colonized stems from the violence of their subjugation#or something#resistance to occupation and colonization is always justified
