Virtue signaling.
If you don't support the only existing material force fighting for Palestinians, you don't support Palestinian rights. We can't idealistically pray for some magic solution to Israeli occupation. We have to live in the material world, where resistance are messy and people are imperfect.
So, much like her socialism, these words are all an act to sheepdog radicals into the Democratic Party. That's her job.
Without violence, Israel's genocide would march forward unimpeded. Is that what you want? Do you want every Palestinian dead?
Violence is their only choice. That's sad and terrible, but we shouldn't condemn resistance fighters for fighting back against occupation and settlement the only way they can.
I bet you support Ukraine. What's the difference between Russia seizing Crimea and the Donbass, and Israel seizing more and more land over the past 70 years? Do an occupied people not have a right to defend themselves?
Ukraine is attacking military targets. That's the big difference here.
Ukraine also has an endless supply of Western aid. This is what resistance looks like without it.
Nah move the goal post further.
What you're seeing is trauma being radicalized into violence. This attack likely was supported by foreign aid likely Iranian maybe further.
So this is actually what resistance looks like with foreign aid.
Okay, I'll clarify myself.
This is what resistance looks like without unlimited foreign aid.
