The old days was pretty fucked up too...
The whole reason they attacked the WTC was to show their fight wasn't against regular Americans, it was the wealthy ruling class who was fucking over regular Americans almost as bad as they were fucking over random people in the middle east...
911 was fucked. October 7th was fucked. Iraq/Afghan war was fucked. What they're doing in Gaza is fucked. Why are people on here always justifying killing innocent people for the sake of their bs ideology? Seems you're no different from those wealthy people, where the lives of people you don't even know that you've deemed unworthy mean nothing.
Why didn't you have a problem with the innocent people dying when they didn't live in America or Israel?
You're saying it's only bad if it happens in Israel or America...
Like...
Surely you have to understand that neither of those "terrorist attacks" were the first time innocent's died...
It was daily life in the countries who launched those attacks, and had been for decades.
You honestly can't even attempt to imagine what it would be like for someone over there, you can't possibly imagine what could drive them to respond in kind instead of just laying down and taking it?
The post quite literally mentions Afghanistan, Iraq, and Gaza being atrocities. It pretty clearly implies all these things are terrible. You purposefully ignored those points to, once again, justify murder and rape. Gaza was stolen as the west sat idly by for decades. The middle east was plundered for oil. Religious ideologues funded by a wealthy middle eastern nation crashed their planes into government and civilian centers in the US. A political group that hasn't been elected in 20 years committed war crimes to push Israel to commit more war crimes. All these things happened and they should all be condemned. There's no need to act as though any sides were justified.
You're making a whole lot of assumptions....
You shouldn't do that, you're not very good at it.
OK I'm sorry.
