A moral right to take up arms against dispossession is not a license to indiscriminate killing.

I feel that there are a lot of people who need a brush up on the right to self-defense.

Two wrongs don’t make a right but also the Israeli army shouldn’t have been harming Palestinians prior

While this is true, poignant, and a good reminder , it is also very important to identify who’s fingerprints are on the bloody knife. The balance must be held otherwise occupiers can use the shock and awe of the response to hide launder the blame for the source

Well said.

This seems obvious, but so many people aren't grasping it.

So Mandela, Ho Chi Minh, Sukarno, were all wrong to fight against their colonial oppressors and kill non-military? Unrelated, did they succeed?

This, with Matt Duss, is good www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Amen

There is going to be a lot of unlicensed indiscriminate killing on all sides, I imagine.

They've tried peace protests and hundreds were killed. They've tried UN resolutions, Israel ignored them and US approves. Curious what other options are available to them other than die quietly out of sight? Decolonization rarely happens without an ugly fight and 95% of this fight is 1-sided
