Not comparable. The white moderates that King was talking about here intended for time to do the work of social change. I'm not saying Palestinians should just wait around and get genocided, just that acts of violence against civilians aren't going to do anything meaningful except lead to more loss of life.
Try some reading comprehension on for size btw. In the first sentence of the comment you replied to I say that occupied peoples absolutely have the right to struggle against their oppressor, just not the right to murder civilians indiscriminately.
Yes comparable.
Saying that Palestinian resistance is only legitimate if it meets the standard of perfect moral purity is exactly saying they should wait around and get genocided.
And you know what? They are getting genocided, right now, at this moment, Isreal is carrying out a campaign of extermination that will make October 2023 a subject of history books for centuries to come, and the hill you've chosen to die on is that the Palestinians are also imperfect.
Try talking like a normal person and not a smugness overdosing reddit shithead.
No occupied person cares what you say they're allowed to do, you privileged asshole. No resistance in history has ever risen to your standard anyway.
Yes they are absolutely going to be wiped out in response to the horrific recent actions of Hamas. It's absolutely terrible, but a fourth grader could have seen it coming.
Also, stop painting Palestine and Hamas as the same portrait. They simply aren't.

And there it is; the genocide justification we all knew was coming.
See next sentence. Do you normally have trouble reading more than one sentence in succession? Or is this a new phenomenon?
