He has consistently denied Israel's "right to exist" as an ethnostate, that's my point. If you believe that means opposing the Israeli government completely, I agree with you and he probably does too. He recognizes, as should you, that supporting an apartheid state's hypothetical right to exist if it didn't have apartheid is immaterial in terms of supporting it with apartheid and is a reasonable tool for reorienting the conversation toward who is supporting apartheid and who isn't.
There were several prongs to the attack, some of which were on military bases and those were not war crimes that we know of. Other prongs amounted to just attacking normal families and killing people, men, women, and children alike. We do not know the true extent to which this happened because Israel has systematically made this information impossible to determine. But saying they committed war crimes is not a condemnation of the broader movement. The Haitian Revolution involved some pretty severe war crimes, and it is still better for it to have happened than for it to have not happened because it still repelled France and freed countless people from slavery.
the entire idea that we’re supposed to discuss war crimes supposedly committed by a population of people who live in a concentration camp is absurd to me so im just gonna drop out of this convo
nothin but respect for my fellow worm tho
You mention marxism earlier, but this is a very moralizing framing. Yes, the Palestinian people, including the membership of Hamas, has been brutally victimized past most living memory. There is no contradiction in being both a victim and -- to a lesser extent that we should not allow to eclipse our view of the former -- a perpetrator. If there was a breakout from Dachau and the people breaking out deliberately executed children in the later stages of their short-lived freedom, they have committed a crime. That doesn't mean we condemn even that specific group as people who should be left in the camps, or even that the project they were engaging in was a bad thing overall, it just means that there were also misdeeds involved.
The opposition to the idea that people need to be perfect victims to deserve support does not need to produce the inverted extreme in which we must take victims as being perfect by merit of being victims. No, they don't deserve their victimhood and they should be supported in their fight, but that doesn't mean they get some kind of blank check that every individual action in that process is to be regarded as justified. You're seriously going to talk yourself into Gonzalo-style terrorism with this set of assumptions.
