mahnmutUS Democrats lash socialist organization for backing rally supporting Hamas attack
I agree with those saying that the attack was "not unprovoked", that much is true.
When you watch your family members, your children being killed, your homes being bulldozed, your people forced to live in a large open air prison where electricity and water are luxuries. This is how some people view these attacks as payback for decades of oppression. It wasnt "unprovoked".
If they had stuck to attacking soldiers, military targets, infrastructure, etc I could have felt pretty good about that and even supported it.
But the brutality of herding up the young and old alike to be slaughtered as they had no means at all to defend themselves at a music concert. A grandmother in a wheelchair. This is just animal behavior and there is NO HONOR in it. No justification for it really.
Glad that most Democrats are speaking against these fringe outliers, also would like to point out that what is happening in Israel and Gaza has ZERO to do with "Democratic Socialism", just as some miscreants hijacked the name "progressive" to now mean "violent anarchist", these are not Democratic Socialists.
Israel will commit atrocities like we've never seen after this, and frankly I don't blame them. It will not be productive though and that is the real shame.
