Lemmy developer, @SleeplessOne1917, argues for the killing of Israeli civilians and children - Lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/comment/4345628
In the recent Lemmy developer update [https://lemmy.ml/comment/4569805], there’s a reference to one Lemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917 [https://lemmy.ml/u/CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml]. I found some horrifying comments from this user. https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649200 [https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649200] - “There is no such thing as an Israeli civilian. All settlers are valid targets.” https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649472 [https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649472] - “15 year olds are military age. That makes them valid targets for killing.” https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649732 [https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649732] - “… There is no such thing as a zionoid civilian. Everything that moves and isn’t Palestinian is a valid target. …” Webarchive: https://web.archive.org/web/20231009131140/https://lemmy.ml/u/CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml [/u/CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml] [https://web.archive.org/web/20231009131140/https://lemmy.ml/u/CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml]
"Personally? I try to make it a point to use pejoratives like “tankies”. In part because I know people are stupid and will view even that as me saying “all leftists” (which is funny since, while I tend to identify more as a “liberal”, I am very much on that spectrum)."
Some of those comments do be sounding kinda insane and unnecessary. Zionoid? Really?
Its unfortunate that civilians (yes that includes settlers) died. However its important to acknowledge that Palestine doesn't have an organized army like "Israel" does.
"Israelis" can leave, Palestinians can't.
I don't think settlers are civilians in the normal sense. They are combatants, they steal homes by force, attack Palestinians, and function as irregular occupying troops.
That is very true in West Bank settlements but on "Israel" "proper" things are a bit more iffy tbh.
