    Agreed. If international opinion mattered enough to accomplish anything, surely it would have done so at some point within the last 75 years of atrocities against Palestine? It’s perfectly understandable to be uncomfortable with the idea of killing prisoners, children, etc, but it’s more important to acknowledge who is responsible for the material conditions that created the current situation.

    I think it’s an appropriate human reaction to find people killing people in general to be horrific, but for those of us not actively involved in the anti-colonial struggle, it’s not our place to lecture those who are. If any internet leftists think they know better than groups like the Marxist PFLP who are actively fighting for an end to the apartheid regime, I want to see some airtight materialist reasoning behind it, not nebulous ideas about some hypothetical support based on international vibes.
