    The Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades takes responsibility for the heroic Jaffa operation carried out by the fighters from the [occupied West Bank] city of Hebron

    Heroic operation? Shooting up a tram? Fuck off. This is not resistance, it’s wanton murder. Random people in public transit are not legitimate targets.

    The fanatic stupidity on display here is astounding. But what else to expect? Fanatic stupidity festers in occupation, dehumanization, and genocide.

    Yeah and?

    Israel invaded their country and is committing genocide. It should come to no one’s surprise that Israel fucks around and finds out during a war they started.

      This wasn’t an act of war, it was an act of terrorism. They shot passengers on a train. All casualties were civilian.

        Exactly! This is why I say Israel has a right to defend itself while Hamas should not be allowed to exist.

        Though recent events (like Israel’s pager attack) have made this argument much weaker…

          Eh, Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah all have the right to exist, and to defend themselves. But we have to define that pretty strictly.

          Carpet-bombing Gaza isn’t defense.

          Slaughtering music festival attendees is not defense.

          Indiscriminate bomb planting and destination is not defense.

          Shooting up a train station is not defense.

          Bombing hospitals and aid trucks is not defense.

          I draw the line at deliberately or recklessly killing civilians.

      Ah another armchair opinionist.

      I’ve been to Jaffa in the past, it’s a very historic port and they have nice oranges. While it’s easy to agree with your sentiment, these people were civilians and innocents; it could very well have been you. Are you so easily judging death?

      Also Israel didn’t start thisbwar get your facts right. Fuck hamas, fuck hezbollah, fuck Iran, fuck netanyahu. This is just another tragedy.

        For anyone wondering why the mods removed this for “incivility”, the original comment said:
