i fail to see the benefits to this

It's Germany, this is about persecuting people who oppose zionism (as well as any other project of the German state). Any stated justification is a lie invented to cover that up.

As long as there is colonialism there will be violent resistance. This violence as well as the initial violence of the colonizers is the fault of the colonizers.

I'm sure some innocent Germans were killed during WW2 by resistance fighters, but the reason it happened was because of the actions of Germany. Without the colonization, it would not have happened and if you focus on it to condemn the resistance fighters then people will correctly identify you as a nazi.

Like the nazis who make those arguments about WW2, you are attempting to justify your opposition to resistance and therefore your support of genocide.

It's extremely telling that you read this:

All violence in a settler colony, including the violence perpetrated by and against the colonizers, is the fault of the colonizers.

And concluded that it meant "every 'Israeli' who died deserved it". It actually meant "some of them didn't deserve to die, but their deaths are still the fault of 'Israel' because it's a colonial project that cause this to happen".

This conflict really brings out the worst in some people. On the one hand, they blame the murder of innocent people on colonialism, and on the other, on the alleged human shield tactic.

Yeah, it did happen because of colonialism. It's also extremely telling that you present these statements as equivalent, as if "'Israel' is a settler colony" and "Hamas use human shields" are equally valid statements. The first is a very basic, correct analysis of the nature of the state, which the most important early zionists (such as Herzl and Ben Gurion) not only agreed with but were proud of. The second is a racist lie designed to try to excuse genocide.

"Israel" literally uses human shields, by the way. They have actually tied human beings to the front of their vehicles in the past.

I wouldn’t use the term “offended”… I think “amused” is better fitting, the same I would feel about a conflict in the “Kleingartenverein”

the german wants everyone to know how NOT MAD they are

You could use an instance that federates widely (such as lemmy.zip) if you want to be able to interact with as many communities as possible.

I’m sorry, are you a disabled person? Or did you forget the point you guys were trying to make?

Damn, I can really feel how tempted you were to use the r-slur there. Not surprising that a zionist and a colonialist would also be an ableist.

Your examples are advocating for my approach of punishing the leadership and giving the people a fresh start.

My examples are advocating for decolonization done by the people there (Palestinians). You're the one imagining "third parties".

All violence in a settler colony, including the violence perpetrated by and against the colonizers, is the fault of the colonizers.

They should kill the fucking IDF. But not kids at a music festival or random civilians.

You're right, they should be given:

• advanced military technology and intelligence data
• ways to openly organize without being killed by Mossad, Shin Bet, and the IOF
• perfect control over every person who happens to pick up a gun during any of their operations

to make sure they can more efficiently kill only soldiers.

Since we're wishing for things, I also wish every "Israeli" genocide supporter would just disappear without the resistance having to do anything.

What’s wrong with calling Hamas terrorists? They have randomly but deliberately killed innocent people. How else would you describe that?

• You, calling the resistance to zionism "terrorists".

Which countries have partitioned and taken over the land of Rhodesia

Zimbabwe.

and South Africa?

Post-apartheid South Africa.

You can show me on the map.

Liberals love to call it infighting because it allows them to take credit for all the progress that happened thanks to leftists. And yet they're always on the right-wing side of those "infights".

The favorite word of Germans is apparently "nuance", but I think it's a close competition with "untermensch" and "herrenvolk".

The post was open for the entire voting period. The voting period is over.
