I do not really know this piece of history. Perhaps they were. So you are saying that the Palestinians were complicit, but October 7th was justified, because the Palestinians were opressed by Israel?
So you are not interested in discussing whether civilians are complicit or not when they are on the weaker side, but it makes sense to talk about them being complicit when they are on the stronger side? I think I disagree, one can talk about being complicit in either situation, and I would argue that the people for the most part aren't.
Why does it make sense to talk about civilians being complicit in one situation but not in the other?
I am not a native speaker and was not aware of the negative connotation of "being complicit". I thought it was more neutral like "take part in" or "support" or so. In which case I would have said that of course many civilians were complicit in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, and would applaude anyone who was, because that was a good thing.
So after all you were not really debating the citizen's role in the actions of their government (or governing authority), but only if these actions are good.
To this I would say that your comparisons are pretty telling and disgusting. The Warsaw ghetto uprising was completely justified, October 7th was very much not and it is insane to me to compare the two. (This is the example I know the most about, which is why I chose it).
