This is not about sympathy and I’m not justifying their actions.
I’m saying something really simple - do you honestly believe that the actions of a person who took a gun and shot with the intend of killing as many unarmed civilians, who didn’t actively attack anyone, is justifiable?
As someone from the political left, I’m honestly baffled by how other people holding liberal opinions have no problem justifying terrorists and murderers as long as it’s Palestinians vs Jews.
I find it hard to believe that someone from the political left doesn’t understand that once a group has been shut out of the political system, physically sequestered into an area under military occupation, and consistently suffers the violence of the state they have little recourse.
It isn’t terrorism to fight against a government that enforces apartheid. It isn’t terrorism to fight statism the supporters of said government. Those settlers want their government to inflict as much pain and suffering on the Palestinian population as possible.
