Sometimes yes. I know very little about the Israelo-palestinian confilct (only what I read from news outlet) so I can’t say anything for sure here.
But more generally, in history, there have been plenty of conflicts that were one side’s responsability: Ukraine’s invasion, WW2, colonie’s independance “wars”… IMO, when you defend yourself from an agression, you are not responsible for the conflict.
In this case, I tend to agree with other commentors - Israel seems to have been increasingly oppressive and brutal at least in the past 2 decades, and you can only push people so far before they react.
Israel has left Gaza in 2005 and only received missiles and terrorist attacks in return.
Although no side is mother Teresa in this conflict, one is is definitely less mother Teresa than the other.
Israel continues to expand their occupation of Palestinian land, though. Do you think Palestinians in Gaza have no stake in the well-being of other Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the West Bank?
They’re only bringing about their own ruin. Fuck, if they actually wanted to do something, then be human fucking beings and adults and come to solve agreement/ compromise. Israel isn’t going anywhere. They only stand to lose more and more by not coming to the table but instead being violent terrorists. They can keep killing for hundreds of years. They’ll end up with even less and accomplish nothing.
They’re not being oppressed if they choose to live the why they do. At some point the drug addict needs to come to terms with the fact they are the ones causing their self harm. They could compromise and stop their killing/ bloodshed to build a peace but they don’t. Continuously attacking is one of the most dumbass moves they keep making. I’m out of sympathy and patience for these idiots. Keep crying but do nothing. Other parts of the Arab world have moved on and made peace with Israel. The Palestinians only have excuses and children to sacrifice at this point.
Hamas’s missiles directed towards Israeli civilians and you choose to compare Israel to Russia. Your propoganda is showing…
Do you consider Hamas the aggressor in the overall context of the Israel- Palestinian conflict?
Do you think only one side can be responsible in a conflict?
He said aggressor.
And idoubledo did not say aggressor. So what do we gain by fixating on this word?

No one is denying that.
Colonizers are always responsible for any violence that follows.
So if Native Americans fired rockets on e.g. Corpus Christi, Texas, they would have no responsibility at all for this action?
I am not denying the responsibility of “the colonizers”, I think other people can also have some responsibility.
They’d be justified.
The point is to not condemn the oppressed without regard for their oppression.

Where in this thread did someone “condemn the oppressed without regard for their oppression”?
