Sorry, but your reply is just revealing your own racism against Palestinians, and your endless support for the Zionist project. You said they should choose non-violent protests, then when I point out non-violent protests they carried out in the past and got shot en masse for their troubles of nicely demanding that the Israelis take down the fences they put up to keep Palestinians from returning to land stolen from them, all of a sudden, you go, “Not like that, Oct 7th!1!1!” You can’t have it both ways,

Hamas having any appeal at all in the region is a direct violence of Israeli aggression towards Palestinians over decades, Likewise, Netanyahu propped up Hamas with financing over years leading up to those attacks, to the tune of over $1 billion, pursuing the same sort of ultimately self-defeating strategy Hillary Clinton went with regarding Donald Trump, in 2016. Both thought they could easily control an adversary and manipulate them to incapacitate what they deemed as more serious opponents, only for it to blow up in their faces.

And then, when they got going and planned the attacks, Netanyahu was warned over a week in advance by the UAE, and did absolutely nothing with that information. This was not an unpredictable situation, it was exactly what Netanyahu wanted in order to justify putting off elections so he can avoid getting sent to prison when he no longer enjoys immunity in his criminal cases. Maybe he didn’t think it was going to be quite that successful an attack, but he let this happen, from a monster of his own creation.

On top of that, I don’t know about you, but if a neighboring country stole my family’s land, shunted me off into a ghetto with the rest of my people (oh, the irony), laid out their plans for genocide and then were being told off by their people because they’re doing the genocide too slowly for the tastes of the public, I’d be pretty indiscriminate with my retaliation against them too. Israel has already killed many more Palestinians in revenge than perished in the attacks on Oct 7th, and in a much more systematic and barbaric fashion. Over 70,000 Palestinians dead, by the IDF’s own admission, not counting bodies still buried under rubble, in revenge for not even 1200 in the attack that sparked this war? Not even 2% of the death they’ve inflicted upon Palestinians, constantly attacking civilians, aid workers, journalists and other members of civil society.

You want to cry that the big bad Palestinians scare the Israelis with the meagre arms they manage to get into Palestinian territory, but there’s no sympathy for Palestinian children being scared when Israel is dropping bombs on their schools or hospitals, nor their suffering when they’re dying of malnutrition and starvation because Israel keeps doing their damndest to keep sufficient food from getting in. You see all the disproportionate atrocities the IDF has inflicted upon Palestinian civilians, and not only are you still defending these monsters, you want us to feel bad for them being scared of what retaliation their victims return upon them? You have some nerve to still be trotting out your “Oh, but the poor Israelis!” hasbara, and should be ashamed that you still do.

Israel is the aggressor in Palestine, just as they are in Iran. They stole land to begin with, with the help of the British, masters at doing exactly that in their own right. Since then, they have continued to steal land and brutalize the people, and now they’re on to their plans to expand their borders clear across huge chunks of sovereign nations like Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. They are a menace to the region, its security and that of the world, and they will fully deserve it when enough countries get tired of their BS and stop providing diplomatic cover and financial support to Israel, and Israel finds itself getting payback for all the atrocities they’ve committed when they need to stand on their own. Lucky us, though, your beloved lunatics will probably chuck out a couple of nukes to try and drag the rest of us down with them when Israel’s karma finally catches up to it.

Not unless it was medically necessary, and they had open hardware and software for the parts. Otherwise, I don’t trust companies and the US government to properly regulate it, and I really don’t feel like having to play whack-a-mole with adblockers or whatever to keep my cybernetic parts from beaming ads straight into my brain, or doing other crazy stuff. I’d also be wary of companies just discontinuing support for the implants when it became too expensive for them to maintain, and being left with a useless bunch of metal somewhere in my body.

A non-violent resistance movement would work.

You mean like when they had marches in 2018 to engage in non-violent protests, and the IDF snipers would deliberately shoot out their knees and target women and children? Israel has collectively abandoned civilization and opted for this might makes right strategy to begin with. Violence is the only means they seem to have of understanding the word “No,” when they want to go steal some new houses or massacre another village.
