    And I take a stand against liberals like you who think history started on Oct. 7th, 2023.

    If you abuse someone to the point of taking their humanity away and they fight back and kill you, the principle blame is not on the one who killed you.

    Every Israeli must face the fact that their country is a racist apartheid regime that it is in a state of constant fascist war, every Zionist must reckon with the fact that they will sacrifice their bodies to uphold racism. No Israeli was ever safe in Israel but their voices cannot be valued over the Palestinians. What you are doing is perverting the discussion because you are uncomfortable with the idea of the oppressed fighting back.

    Let me put this in a language you can understand in your fragile view of the world, if Jewish prisoners escaped from a concentration camp in Nazi Germany and killed every single guard and kidnapped members of their family as hostages, what would you say to them? Be more civil? See how easily your “concern” falls apart.

        What you’re suggesting is tribal guilt by association.

        Yes I do think that partying next to an open air concentration camp is grounds for being caught in the crossfire of war and getting killed. Israel is a militant country where mandatory military service is required for all of its citizens, not caring for the well being of Palestinians is a fundamental part of Israeli society, so much so that it led to a company hosting a festival next to Gaza.

        If I wanted to party I wouldn’t do it next to fucking Auschwitz.
