Is it justified to commit warcrimes against civilians, because you’ve had warcrimes committed against you?

You want to go and lecture people suffering colonial genocide how to resist said colonial genocide in a way that doesn't discomfort you?

Be my guest... hell, if you take a shipment of 7.62x39 with you, they might even have a reason to listen to you.

I would gladly stand in opposition to that, too.

A bit late for that, don't you think? Just like it's a bit late to "stand in opposition" when this particular colonial genocide began all the way back in 1949.

Wanna know one thing that it's never too late for? Questioning why you have been drenched in narratives surrounding Hamas's "crimes" (real, perceived and/or invented) while you have zero context regarding the long, long list of atrocities committed by Israel since 1949 nor the even larger atrocities committed by Israel's western backers - you know... the same backers that are drenching you in these narratives?

It's never too late to figure out who it is that is manipulating you - and why.
