      Comment calling Palestinians who take arms from Israel to kill other Palestinians “traitors” was removed for “racism”.

      ???

      Traitors how?

      Also, that would mean everyone who stormed the capital shouldn’t be allowed here (agreed), but that isn’t happening…

        Literally anyone born in another country is ipso facto an enemy of the Glorious American Empire.

        Your very existence is an affront to the sensibilities of our nation’s leadership.

          Lemmy leans left / anti-imperialist, and the left generally considers the Palestinian Authority traitors or collaborationists, somewhat analogous to Irish Freestaters

            Not so much that they want Israeli settlers to murder them. The PA his historically operated as a kind-of Vichy Republic to the Israeli fascist regime. But the outright genocide that the IDF is facilitating goes well beyond what any PA official has ever condoned, much less participated in. This is the difference between a police state and a gas chamber.

            Nobody on “The Left” is advocating that mid-level Palestinian bureaucrats be starved to death under siege or tortured to death by tweaked out Settlers.

          I mean, the armed struggle angle ain’t exactly carrying much water for the people of Gaza rn either. Seems like a real rock and a hard place choice to make.

          So being praised for not supporting Hamas after they attacked Israel and started a war makes you a traitor to Gaza?

          Fuck Hamas. They don’t get to call themselves Gaza or Palestine. They are the same kind of filth that’s responsible for the genocide in Gaza. All these genocidal maniacs can please fuck off and leave normal peaceful people the fuck alone.

            Israel started the war by continuing occuation

            So being praised for not supporting Hamas after they attacked Israel and started a war makes you a traitor to Gaza?

            Collaborating with an occupying force that arms settler terrorists and protect them and kill normal palestinians make you are traitors. Is that so hard to understand?

              No, Hamas crossing the border and purposely targeting and murdering civilians was not justified, just like Israel doing it to civilians is not justified. Set aside your blatant bias and maybe you’ll be able to use your brain properly.

              Read the context in article i replied to and maybe it’ll be more obvious to you what specific attack I’m referring to.

                So not at all “after they attacked Israel and started a war” but rather before.

                You have your timeline muddled. The Palestinian Authority have been working with Israel since '93. They killed Nizar Banat for speaking against them in 2021.

                You’re speaking as though everything started in 2023.

                Again, what have you read about Palestinian politics / the PA / the Oslo Accords?

              In there a clause in there that justified purposely targeting and murdering women and children and random people at a music festival?

              If not then it has no relevance to anything I’m talking about.

              Read up on basic human rights and decency.
