Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Still pretty weak, TBH. Language calling Hamas' actions "attacks on random Israeli civilians" while giving at least some credence to the phrase "Israel's right to defend itself." That's a lot of giveaway to imperialist and Zionist propaganda while allegedly trying to clear the air on who holds what opinions.
This is an anti-colonial struggle. Colonized people have a right to defend themselves. Nation-states absolutely fucking do not, nor do colonizers while they violently expand their colonies, uphold apartheid, and continue to commit genocide. Upholding one's oppression is not coherent with self-defense, sorry.
@khalic @StrayCatFrump For generations now, the kill ratio in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict has been 10 to 1: ten Palestinians killed for every one Israeli.
Israel has within its borders two million desperately poor stateless people with no hope for the future and nowhere to go.
If you put a kettle on the stove, duct tape it so nothing can get out, and then turn the heat up as high as possible, an explosion is inevitable.
Your glee at the horrors that are coming is antisocial.
