@kevinbradley96 A life is irreplaceable, but that doesn’t mean property destruction is harmless. For a small business owner, their business may be their entire livelihood. Looting, vandalism and arson can destroy years of work, put employees out of work and force a business to close permanently.
People's business are their livelihoods. If you try to destroy someones business they're gonna try and stop you. If someone tried to destroy my house I'm gonna defend my home.
Besides, the rioting tanked support for BLM.
@kinghooper_11@enemycharlie@LolWeakSauce@driftnthruspace No, it still sounds crazy to kill people for destruction of property.
Steven is a deranged child who couldn’t deal with a fraction of the violence he constantly advocates for.
@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach If Israel was targeting civilians, having their fighters fight out of uniform, indiscriminately attacking, building tunnel networks under residential homes, using human shields and other tactics like that do you honestly think I wouldn't scrutinize them?
@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach I’m not determining how Palestinians can resist. They have a right to resist occupation. I’m pointing out that resistance doesn’t eliminate the distinction between military targets and civilians. Also that hamas' actions have only lead to worse outcomes for palestinians
@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach I condemn Israel’s occupation, settlement expansion, displacement of Palestinians and its treatment of civilians in Gaza. Notice I can beleice all that without excusing Hamas, Hezbollah or the Houthis.
@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach The stated purpose was to pressure Israel over its war in Gaza by disrupting shipping. Read the 2024 report by the UN and you'll see their actions don't match their words I can link it for you if you'd like
@OlibuFJF Killing people is obviously bad, but let’s not pretend people’s businesses aren’t their livelihoods. If you break into someone’s home or business and start destroying their property, you should expect resistance. The owner may even use a firearm to defend themselves.
@OlibuFJF Was giving her the full quote because it seems she believes he just wanted protesters dead. In the full quote he specifies multiple times it's about the violent rioters.
He also says these rioters tanked support for BLM and almost won trump 2020. Much more reasonable take imo
I disagree. The partial quote makes it sound like he doesn't support BLM at all. The full one shows that he supports their goals and is concerned with the violent rioters that tanked support for BLM and almost helped trump win 2020
@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach Hamas also deserves scrutiny for embedding military infrastructure in civilian areas and exposing Palestinians to additional danger. The UN has documented these concerns.
@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach If you condemn Israel for treating Palestinian civilians as responsible for Hamas, you can’t turn around and treat Israeli civilians as responsible for their government. The principle has to apply both ways.
@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach The UN Panel of Experts found that the Houthis indiscriminately targeted vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden despite claiming to target Israeli linked shipping. Check out this link if you want more info on the definition

@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach Maybe he got new information and changed his position? Weiner believes it's a genocide and wants to stop aid to Israel. He's like 99 percent on your cause. Telling a Jew to support an actual terrorist group that wants to kill all jews is crazy. Why even change your opinion atp🤷🏾♂️
@kevinbradley96@LadyBleach I'm legitimately impressed at your inability to criticize Hasan for anything. It's a LGBTQ march scott been attending for decades. Hasan comparing that to himself attending a klan rally and justifying harassment is both disingenuous and retarded.
Hamas just made every Palestinians' life worse by sperging out Oct 7. I'm sorry, you can say it was pushback against Zionism but you can not say it was a smart move to attack civilians of a country that is itching to turn your territory into a pile of rubble.
