This is what happens when everyone turns a blind eye to apartheid governments.

No this is what happens when terrorists overwhelm a border crossing and stsrt indiscriminately murdering civilians, then carry their mutilated bodies around as literal flags as they celebrate the murder in the street

I assume you've been just as outraged and outspoken about atrocities carried out by the IDF?

Is killing civilians fine as long as they don't do it too "barbarically" for you?

Should Palestinians just lay back and continue to let the settlers take what little of their homeland they have left? They're being genocided. They're fighting back in whatever way they're capable

This has literally nothing to do with the settlers, have you ever even looked at a map of Israel and Palestine? There are no Israeli settlements in Gaza.

Indiscriminately murdering civilians is not "fighting back." Can you maybe stop being antisemitic for long enough to realize what you're arguing right now? You're claiming that murdering hundreds of civilians on camera in the streets for no reason at all is somehow justified.
