If a bomb blew up next to me in a supermarket, I would consider the people who detonated it to be terrorists and a great threat to my own life. Even watching this from afar makes me want to redouble my activism against Israel. This will be seen as a huge strategic failure.

And how did watching videos of Hamas beheading people on October 7th affect you? And how did watching videos from the Hezbollah attack on the children's football field, that killed a dozen children, affect you?

I'm well aware of Israel's history of ethnic cleansing and attacks on civilians since it's inception so see resistance against terrorism as valid. Even as a US citizen, I see Israel as a threat to me personally, so am glad that at least someone is fighting them.

Wow, you’re actually admitting to being a terrorist sympathizer? You could have just made that clear earlier so we’d know who we were conversing with.

I'm not a terrorist sympathizer, like I said I side with Hamas and Hezbollah, not Zionism.

Look at their history, you are replying to an IP conflict bot account.

It's a damn shame that Israel funded Hamas in their goal of supplanting more leftist groups gaining ground in Palestine, and it's a damn shame that Israel has spent something like 70 years now assassinating various Palestinian political leaders, including vocal pacifist advocates.

Just like the Americans decreased the safety of Americans abroad by spending two decades radicalizing the middle east, Israel has decreased the safety of its citizens by always choosing to escalate the violence.

You don’t live in a society where the guy next to you at the supermarket is actively involved in terrorism strikes against the other country.

These kinds of comparisons are frankly just nonsense and so devoid of context

Yes I do. In fact, many of the VCs in our industry that I've had to deal with are Zionist terrorists cheering on this attack.

VC tech has killed many, many civilians.

Sure, and yet it is extremely cringeworthy to think your life experience is comparable to that in a high conflict zone of the Middle East

If the same people here are the ones killing people there, then surely you see the connection. I don't need to be the victim of a serial killer to not want to dine with one.
