*terrorists

Corrected for you.

I think they are just invaders?

Terrorists terrorize and go home. These people come in and stick around.

There can be, and is more than one type of bad guy.

FelixCress@lemmy.world on 11 Aug 13:31 collapse

I think they are just invaders?

No. Invaders don’t necessarily terrorise local population nor they are necessarily staying permanently in the territory invaded.

Terrorism is an action or threat designed to influence the government or intimidate the public. Its purpose is to advance a political, religious or ideological cause.

The aim of so called “settlers” is to create fear which would make people (“public”) to leave and therefore to advance “settlers” ideological cause.

They are terrorists.

Not sure where you’ve sourced that definition, but from that same source, what then is the definition of an invader?

FelixCress@lemmy.world on 11 Aug 15:08 collapse

It is simplified definition derived from UK legislation but the dictionary definition is very similar:

dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/…/terrorist

well, settlers. settlers terrorize too, its just that the word doesn’t carry the same stigma.

*colonizers as they are settling and claiming lands they have no right to.

NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io on 11 Aug 06:54 next collapse

With IDF support, remember that.

OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca on 11 Aug 09:12 collapse

And therefore Western nations support.

No human is ever a valid target

Like someone trying to kill you, you can’t defend yourself and kill him if necessary?

MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 13:06 collapse

I’m no fan of Israel’s illegal bullshit but pretending that every single person is “murdering” people is asinine. The exact bullshit pro-Israel people love because it feed their propaganda.

mrdown@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 13:18 next collapse

Where the hell did that all israeli are murderers. Your working is so laughable. Not a fan? It is a matter of preference. Illegal bs? No it’s terrorism and criminality

blackris@discuss.tchncs.de on 12 Aug 13:47 collapse

You know, this is especially about the Settlers. They are a radical group of assholes that, indeed occupy land in the West Bank and drive out or kill the people living there. They do that strategically for decades now, to make it less and less possible for Palestines there, to build their own, sustainable state. They are terrorists and they earn everything that is coming to them.

Hitler wasn’t a valid target?

MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 13:04 collapse

Is Hitler in the room with you right now?

lmdnw@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 13:53 next collapse

Comrade said no human is a valid target. I asked about Hitler to highlight the absurdity of that absolute statement. Think critically before responding please.

StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 16:55 collapse

Yet another poor, Reddit standard deflection. I’m seeing a pattern of mediocrity here.

Rating: critical thinking challenged

Shut the fuck up.

KumaSudosa@feddit.dk on 12 Aug 12:47 collapse

So if someone breaks into your home or attempts to murder you… you’re just gonna let it happen because they’re “not a valid target”? In that case you can give me your address!

MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 13:04 collapse

Don’t be dishonest.

Dishonest? This is what they’re literally doing. Invading other people’s land, stealing their homes, murdering them.

So the children with no agency involved are murderers and should be considered valid targets?

Death to the IDF and death to any illegal settler.

Good job sounding worse than Hamas, dumbass.

No one mentioned or even vaguely implied this. Poor deflection, 0/5 stars.

Good job sounding worse than Hamas, dumbass.

There’s a dumbass here, but it’s not them.
