I find these bullshit false dichotomies to be beyond annoying. Stop trying to kill nuance, it’s not either or. Two things can be bad at the same time with different extents. Acknowledging this fact allows you to take in more context and actually form a principled point of view rather than a reactionary one. Lemmy is filled to the brim with pissing matches that boil down to “WhAt aBoUt ThIs GuY?!?!” because everything is oversimplified and reactionary.
Yup… and whoever lets their kids throw rocks at soldiers are fucked up people.
A “fair fight” means more civilians die. Non-violent resistance would gain the Palestinians a lot more than sending their children out to throw rocks at tanks.
I’ve lost my mother, my brother, my father is disabled and I’m stuck getting water and trying to make sure we have food; all because men in tanks like this one have destroyed our way of life. Fuck em, I cast throw rock.
Seriously, no. No the parents are not fucked up, their lives have likely been scarred in one way or another by these people. The ones who are fucked up are the ones who should never have been there in the first place.
What I said doesn’t just apply to this conflict, it applies to everything political these days, and this mentality is so prevalent that it’s actually starting degenerate our societies.
