    Show solidarity with people, not with states.

    Yes, a large portion of Israelis supports the ongoing genocide. That doesn’t mean killing any inhabitant of Israel is good. Combatants actively contribute, and they’re fair game, but not civilians. You know neither the opinions of the now dead, nor why they held them. The people there are, to an extent, victims to their system, which makes them think what they do. The ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class.

    I understand why Hamas made the attacks, but that doesn’t mean I think they were good. Civilian casualties are always bad, no matter if in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine or Russia.

      that festival was held well into genocidally settled land. the mythical ‘good people’ in zionistan would not have been there. get the boot out of your mouth before talking, and don’t think I’ll be fooled by wrapping it in a black flag.

        Canada isn’t about to deport all non-indigenous citizens. Neither is Australia, New Zealand or Israel. Either a way to coexist is agreed or everyone continues to lose in that region.
