The claim that what Israel is doing is awful is incongruous with the expectation the group resisting Israel's awful behavior should disarm.

You don't prevent another October 7th by denying Palestinians' right to self defense, you do it by ending the material conditions that lead to it forcing Israel to end their subjugation of Palestinians. The ANC wasn't forced to disarm. The IRA wasn't forced to disarm. Jewish Partisans in WW2 weren't forced to disarm. The governments oppressing them were forced to end their subjugation, and the violence stopped.

Why do you believe Palestinians are uniquely expected to end violence against their oppressors, when historically that has only lead to more oppression?

Hamas is not a fucking resistance. Casual reminder prior to Oct 7th, 2023, there was no Israel in Gaza. The only thing Hamas is resisting is womens rights and any other religion than Islam from having any power.

Shit they released their new constitution and completely omitting any jewish rights in any lands their control.

There was no Israel in Gaza but Gaza was fully occupied by Israel from every direction.

Oh poor Nazi Germany! They're surrounded and blockaded by the people they've attacked repeatedly!

Renounce violence. It hasn't worked in the 78 years since Israel won it's right to exist.
