And the slaughter of 1200 Israeli citizens is OK ? Grown the fuck up

Barry. You seem to be Gaslighting and and appear intent on being disrespectful.

I assume your question was rhetorical, since I have yet to encounter any pro-Palestine advocate who has opined that the massacre of 1200 Israelis and the taking of about 250 hostages was okay; many pro Israel, however, support the massacre and brutal treatment of Palestinians.

Violence and Hatred for the Other are core elements of fascist ideology often rooted in untreated trauma. I suggest you seek counseling in anger mgt with a competent mental health provider. Lashing out at those you disagree with doesn’t help find the truth nor reach an understanding. But fascists are usually not interested in the truth, as mendacity is also at the core of fascist ideology.

If what you seek is to add fuel to the fire, that doesn’t help either

No it’s not. Violence can never be justified, but 75 years of oppression, humiliation , displacement and dispossession, together with periodic mudering rampages, termed ‘mowing the grass’ by Israeli leaders, certainly provides the context.

Who said that the killing of 1200 Israelis is OK?

People who think the 35k slaughter of Palestinians is ok are somehow not ok with 1.2k Israeli citizens dying... it's either a math education problem or a bigotry problem... can't ever figure it out...

It's because they don't see Palestinians as Humans.

Also, we've been saying 35k dead for months now, the real figure is likely multiples of that.

Of course not!. It was wrong everyone accepts that. However killing over 30,000 innocent civilians is not the answer. The answer is peace. Both sides will have to compromise .
