It’s extremely common for colonized peoples to be radicalized and commit violence against civilian settler populations. I could point you to tons of historical and modern examples in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Namibia, South Africa, Papua, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Russia, Mexico, and Ireland. Probably could list a dozen cases just in the USA alone
I mean, if someone came to my neighborhood and forced my next door neighbors out of their house at gunpoint so they could live there, with the full backing and credit of the government whose jurisdiction I live under, and that government was explicitly set up on ethnic lines to exclude people like me and my neighbors, then yeah I’d probably get pretty violent with those people too.
Buddy, we all know what happened at the Sde Teiman Detention Camp, the IDF rats raped those prisoners. And currently, the hottest debate in Israel is about what should be done about the whistleblower on those rapes. The whistleblower has been arrested, while the rapist servicemen will never face consequences. Unless a bullet finds them, which would be great.
Here. Let me lay it out for you. Israel is killing tens of thousands under the justification of “opposing Hamas.” People constantly bring up Hamas as a way to justify that violence, so focusing on Hamas when Israel is killing way more people and is the entity with more power is simply facilitating the Israeli government narrative. It’s like constantly bringing up that there’s Nazi groups in Ukraine, or that Armenians sometimes did kill Turkish people.
Hamas is bad, but Hamas being bad doesn’t justify Israel’s actions, which themselves often occur where Hamas doesn’t exist (ex the West Bank, Golan heights). The constant shifting of the focus to be on Hamas is a way to distract from the Israeli government killing way more people and being responsible for Hamas’s rise to power in the first place.
