    “[attack targeting civilians] was a legitimate attack against an occupying force.”

    “Innocent civilians are not an occupying force”

    “When they’re the people who’ve stolen your homes and land, they are”

    Please, explain this to me. Explain to me how “Israeli civilians are legitimate targets because they’re the ethnicity who’ve stolen your homes and land” isn’t a call for genocide.

        “Innocent civilians are not an occupying force”

        This discounts action, as ‘innocent’, ‘civilian’ and ‘not an occupying force’ are all specified.

        “When they’re the people who’ve stolen your homes and land, they are”

        … so what the fuck other use of “the people” here is there? It can’t be referring to a group of people who are performing an action, that was explicitly discounted by the prior comment. “who’ve stolen your homes and land”, especially in the context of civilians attacked who were nowhere near illegal settlements, is referring to - and this may be shocking - Israelis.

        As for working class, who the ever-loving fuck do you think makes up the majority of most civilian populations
