    Speaking of somebody who joined the sub because they’re pro-Palestinian freedom, anti-apartheid. This post subject I can’t get behind.

    When you say death to Israel, do you mean death to all Israeli citizens? Or just the end of the government? I think a change in the government is necessary, but reverse genocide is just as bad as normal genocide.

      Probably decolinisation of Palestine rather than the death of individuals.

      Not sure if ‘reverse genocide’ is a thing but the question was raised a few days ago in another thread if you look for it.

      I interpreted as “Death to (the concept of) Israel”, as in the country is illegitimate and should be dissolved and returned to its rightful inhabitants.

      No one is calling for reverse genocide. People here want a Palestine where Jews and Arabs can live together as equal beings, and that requires death of the state of Israel, not of the people of Israel

      Death to that state that calls itself Israel and anyone who defends it. I will not shed a tear to anyone that supports performing settler colonial ethnic cleaning of Palestinians. Regardless of if they are holding a gun. A fascist without a gun is still a fascist that wholly believes and supports slaughtering innocent people. The Palestinians are in a cage, surrounded by armed fascists that want to slaughter them like animals, and behind those armed Fascists are people that are supporting said Fascists. Any strike outward by the Palestinians is self defense, plain and simple. They have no other choice if the want to live. The world has stood by and don’t nothing while Israel just keeps killing. Meanwhile people sitting safely in their armchairs half way across the globe are bashing them that some non-combatants on the Israeli side got hit in the crossfire. Well boo fucking hoo. Those people knew what they were getting into when they took houses from Palestinians. When they say by and let the IDF keep massacring innocents. Hell most of them approve of it.

      And despite this the Palestinian forces have taken more precautions against actually injuring/killing non-combatants than the IDF forces whom of which have been shown to be indiscriminately killing, even killing captured Israelis. Hamas and the Palestinian forces tried negotiating for a peaceful resolution for years. It only got them more dead innocents at the hands of the IDF.

      So death to the state that calls itself Israel. Settlers can leave and give the Palestinians back their stollen land or they can stay, and either put themselves in danger and fight or try to live in peace with Palestinians, which based on the past several decades, they have no intentions of doing.

      There is no country called Rhodesia, does that mean every Rhodesian was murdered?

      I keep coming back to Rhodesia because that’s exactly what Israel is.
