Yesterday I thought this was a fair but controversial message to post after the massacre, but then today the deathtoll more than doubled and Israel is demolishing massive buildings. I feel like maybe they've skipped a few steps in their crusade for "retribution." It's not controversial at all anymore, that escalated fucking quickly.
This is generally the state's military posture. They enact massively disproportionate collective punishment in response to any attack.
Mass incarceration, cutting off resources like power, and military action are all used. It is extremely cruel and not likely to lead to deescalation.
If I were a cynic I'd suggest that might, perhaps, be the point.
