> The problem there is that you think of those Israelis as _human_. That’s a mistake, you should think of them as settler-colonialist monsters who feast on Palestinian blood. Then it makes so much more sense! Hezbollah causing thousands of Israelis to leave their homes for months now and raining rockets on their houses isn’t _ethnic cleansing_, it’s ~~_righteous cleansing_~~ decolonization.

This post is absolutely inappropriate for MPSIMS. I know moderators don’t always show up immediately, but just report and wait for moderator action.

This may be a warning and/or a thread ban. I’m going to run it by some other mods.
