We are completely against Israeli occupation and the countless war crimes carried out by Israeli forces, but we will not be brow beaten into acting like a massacre on civilians is chill. This is the first and last I’ll say on this. Save your breath.
Massacres are always bad. We will not be drawn into “but what about” talk, especially not from people who’re safe and have no frontline experience. Do not expect us to engage in political arguments with you. We will present information as it is. If you don’t like that, fuck off.
