Nearly half of young respondents said they side with the terrorist group that just earlier this month purposefully targeted and slaughtered innocent civilians.
original title: ‘An Insane Number of Gen Zers Support Hamas’s Slaughter of Innocent Israelis’
What we call “terrorism” is the only means provided to the Palestinians to have a voice. They literally are in a concentration camp. The world’s faux outrage shocked pikachu-face on this one is disgusting. No one would object if a chattel-slave killed his owners or a holocaust camp victim started blasting Nazis.
I’m gen X. I was fooled by the war on terror, and didn’t understand the protestors at that time who were of an age of having had lived through Vietnam. Now I know better and join in the protests today. Shame on me if I were to be fooled again. The insane propaganda we’re seeing on this Israeli genocide paralells what we saw after 9-11.
I am so proud that Gen Z isn’t repeating the mistakes of my youth and falling for the propaganda. Based Gen Z.
I’ve definitely seen libs on Reddit say it would have been immoral for Jews to resist against the Nazis. Like, not even kill Nazis, just being obstinate against them.

One point that I think is worth emphasizing with some audiences is that if we are horrified by an alleged atrocity committed by the armed wing of the Palestinian resistance movement, the only thing that can make such resistance and the excesses that may sometimes come with it unnecessary is a range of other options that are actually effective.
So if you want non-violence, do effective non-violence and prove that that it can work. Be the other half of the anti-apartheid movement that makes it possible to some day wind down the violent struggles against apartheid.
Scolding Palestinians about fighting back by the only means left to them doesn’t give them any other options. An end to military aid for Israel and a powerful, growing BDS movement potentially could. When the Palestinian resistance has more leverage and power, parties like Hamas and others will recognize that and come to the negotiating table as fighters of national liberation struggles have done in many other countries. But they have to have leverage and non-violent forms of resistance have to be viable and proven, in order for deescalation to be possible.

This is possibly an inroad for understanding among people of older generations who understand what historic crimes were committed in the US response to 9/11. Because anyone who was around and old enough then can recognize the similarities in the sound of the imperialist wardrums.

Unfortunately libs absolutely would depending on the situation

Asking libs about the Haitian Revolution be like
John Brown would like to have a word with you.
In the words of MLK, riots are the voice of the unheard.
