"Accountability feels like an attack when you're not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others."

In what world does someone saying "hey you can't steal my house" justify you to murder them?

With that logic there is no solution and Israel is justified in depopulating Gaza entirely.

OK so just to be clear I said "Israel needs to stop taking what isn't theirs" and you said "nah they should just kill everyone". And people still don't know which side is wrong here?

We can talk about whataboutism

You're not talking about whataboutisim you're doing a whataboutisim. Israel is an apartheid state. If Israel want's to stop the violence they can get their settlers out of the west bank. They can give back Gaza. Until they get the fuck out of Palestinian land I can't blame the Palestinians for fighting to get them out.

There is no solution where Israel is allowed to continue forcing Palestinians from their homes. But hey, colonizers gotta colonize.

"Tell me which war crime you're mad about so I can make up a lie to defend it"

Have you seen the video of the American dude from NY going to Palestine and stealing a Palestinian's house?

Israel routinely bombs news buildings, wtf are you talking about?

Israel routinely bombs news buildings. The IDF routinely kills journalists.

You are aware Israel is an apartheid state?

I wouldn't say "agree". I don't think it's possible to "agree" with a non-sequitur. Like... by definition I don't think thats possible.

Generally when you upvote something because it agrees with your side regardless of the correctness that is a form of "circle-jerking".

Something you can’t seem to do and I feel sorry for you.

Lol weak. Dude I literally just said it was "gross" you can't immediately come back and say that I "can't admit that it was nasty". Gross and nasty are literally synonyms.

Can you pause for like 2 seconds and realize that you've become so lost in "winning" this argument that you've reduced yourself to spouting literal nonsense?

And that goes double for whoever upvoted you.

What's low quality is using misapplied therapy speak to try to shut down a conversation.

It's not victim blaming. It's a fucking war zone. There are US citizens in Palestine right now stealing Palestinian houses. How are the Palestinians supposed to know who's who? Stay the fuck out of the active war zone if you don't belong there. It's not like the Palestinians who don't have a choice, people on vacation 100% had a choice.

"ViCTiM bLAmINg". The victims are the Palestinians. Get the fuck outa here.

You're literally doing it right now. You fully acknowledge that Israel is an apartheid state but you're not acknowledging anything they've done wrong.

For the people who don't get it, Israel was established in the 40's when the US and British took the land from the native Palestinians and created Israel as a state for the jewish people. This isn't ancient history. Some of your grandparents are older than Israel.

Israel exists on stolen land and their goal is fully destroy Palestine. It's as black and white as can be. It's murder. It's very nearly genocide. But the US is cool with it because we use them as a FOB.

Rapid here is defending murder. The recent actions of Palestine are, an admittedly gross but justified, self defense.

Edit: moved a comma

Do children deserve it? no. Did the parents of those children put them in that situation? yes.

But tell me, where do you draw the line? Murder is bad but funding a murderous government isn't? How many steps do you have to be from the hitman before your conscious is clear?

And are you seriously out here pulling a "think of the children" as if an apartheid state is just super cool and nice to children? Do you need to refresh yourself on what apartheid means? I'll wait

Edit: OP never comes back to explain why murdering 1 Israeli child is worse than murdering thousands of Palestinian children. They don't have an answer, they have talking points.

If the vacation is taxed then isn't the vacationer effectively funding the apartheid state?

"We support them in a separate but equal way"

Maybe don't go on vacation in an apartheid state?
