    Rebels who do nothing aren’t really rebels though. Think of star wars.

    The death star had tons of independent contractors.

      Yeah, and blowing it up was a shit move and not okay. Fuck the rebels pulling that kind of shit.

      Destroy its weapon system, sure. But not blow up the whole station. I mean the only difference here is that the Imperium blew up an actual planet, not an artificial one.

        Israeli settlements and military bases are installed by the government to keep control of an illegally conquered area.

        If you are looking to liberate that land, stuff installed by the the offending government for military purposes is not civilian.

        Israel is using its own citizens for it’s benefit without regard for their safety.

      I’m not arguing rebels should do nothing. I’m arguing they should not assault, rape, and murder innocent women.

      The death star was a military base they a attacked a military base.

      The rebels didn’t murder and rape the ewoks in the middle of the yub nub festival.

        This is a fair point. I didnt really pay as much attention as to how it all went down, i know they blew up a tank and a few people died and hostages were taken. All that being said, it is illegally conquered land and it is immediately next to a military installation.

        Havent heard about rape yet

        That woulda been a very different movie

          You really haven’t seen any of the headlines and videos about the girls they kidnapped, raped, beat and then shot to death? Or the families, including children, that they murdered? There’s video all over the internet, how did you miss it?

          Well regardless, now you know. True acts of barbarism against innocent civilians.

          It seems you don’t pay much attention to the history of jerselum either. The “rightful” owners of the land depends on when you claim that this is when ownership was established.
