Terrorist in this case is just a word we use to describe people that come to the correct conclusion; that violent resistance is the only answer after generations of occupation and oppression. When the oppressive empire and your occupiers slaughter innocent people for daring to attempt peaceful resistance. Violence is all that remains.

When we watch it in Star Wars we cheer for them. When we watch it in real life. We call them terrorists.

Terrorism, like so many things, is used to discredit out groups. To demonize them and to create a easy scapegoat.

The simple definition of terrorism is the unlawful use of violence or the threat of violence to coerce a civilian or government for political or social objectives.

By this definition this administration is using terrorism on its own people. Israel likewise is also guilty of terrorism. In fact, you could argue that these two entities are actually responsible for more terrorism than anyone else in the world.

But we are in the right guys, so it's all good /S

No it was during the great march of return when Israel slaughtered unarmed Palestinians.

Oh, so you're saying there was no violence towards Israel before 2019 right? and that its been all peace since then from Palestinians?

It's not my job to educate you. Clearly, you're asking these questions, not for answers but, to defend an apartheid state that is currently carrying out their "final solution" in Gaza. It's amazing there are people like you still running defense for Israel.

Oh cool a straw man since you have nothing, got it.

"Guys, some people did a peaceful thing once. That cancels out everything else that every other person is doing!!!!!!"

You're doing a great job winning an argument against this imaginary person in your head. Please keep responding to pretend quotes.

The irony of using "strawman" as you do that is just cherry on top Zionist delusion. Every accusation is a confession.

lol still nothing on all this supposed entirely peaceful resistance. and now resorting to ad hominem only shows how base your argument is.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I gave you an example of peaceful resistance being met with violence. I never said it was entirely peaceful. You are the one saying that. Must I respond in good faith when you move the goal post? Should I respond when all you have done is attempt to change my statements to mean something else?

If I explained the history of Zionist colonialism, that started all of this, would you even care? If you're still arguing in favor of Israel, at this point, I can't assume you're just ignorant. And all you have done is respond with fake quotes that don't match what I have said.

All you're doing is showing your own bias. Rephrasing what I say so that it means what YOU want it to mean.
