The place you’re saying to salt the earth is the stolen land of the Palestinians.

Which, thats kinda exactly what I mean by loosing sight of liberation for the oppressed. You’re talking about whether to nuke the (stolen) homeland of a suffering group.

You gotta remember that the point is justice, not retribution. And jutice often should include consequences. But that doesn’t make it the same thing as vindictive persecution.

I mean, only if our system works such that people can reliably accumulate enough surplus to comfortably retire at a reasonable age… Which it does not 😅

Discounts for those who retired and dont have income anymore is a pro-labor position. We’re just all mad that the people who would currently get them had a better chance of fairness and pulled the ladder up after them like assholes

Yeah, but I think sometimes people forget that the “fuck israel” has to be derived from “free Palestine” and just get a little carried away feeling comfortable in having someone they’re allowed to meaninglessly hate and vilify as the badguy

There’s a great quote that you must love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor, and that framing made a big impact on me. So much of the discussion online about plaestine is centered on Israeli atrocities, moreso than Palestinian tragedy and loss.

I get why, but the important thing is the liberation of the Palestinian people. Hatred for their oppressor is meant to come from hatred of their oppression.

And even more importantly:

FREE PALESTINE!
