Id feel bad for the ravers if they werent literally set up at the edge of Gaza for a lurid thrill. Its like when someone sits down next to a bear on some talk show and the bear decides that today is the day and just mauls the poo poo out of them. Its tragic, yeah, but maybe have some caution and respect?

Also its not like Israel has ever shown restraint around civilians, before or after, so gently caress em. Everyone who has ever served in the IDF and every settler are vital components of the Israeli regime of oppression and occupation and are valid targets.

It is tragic, but it also shows how detached and how blind the average Israeli citizen has become to the suffering of the people of Palestine, when they think that it's a good idea to go to a rave in an occupation zone, outside the walls of the world's biggest open-air prison. While on the other side of the barbed wire there are 2 million people, penned up under some of the most inhumance conditions possible.

Would I feel sorry for German concert-goers, if they had become victims while attending a performance outside the Warsaw ghetto on the day of the uprising in 1944? Probably not.

In an ideal world the US would have long stopped funding an apartheid state and then we might have 2 nations and peace. Unfortunately we live in the worst possible future.

I think the US is pushing Israel into a ground invasion of Gaza because they are pissed off that Hamas ruined their normalization plans, and want hamas taken off the table so the saudis fall back in line.

I do feel bad about this event since when I was In Goa in 2007 I did meet a couple of Israelis who decided to skip enlistment into the IDF, and thought it was more ethical to do drugs, rave, and sleep with backpackers than join a genocidal defense force.

As you said, I do feel it would have been more appropriate if these youngsters did the same as the people I met in 2007, or at the very least go to “a rave for peace” in another country where there is a small possibility you actually partying with people who you want peace with.

People who think like this don't really follow the situation that was on the ground before a few days ago. There was literally no hope no matter what kind of perfect victim they were. Israel clearly has no other plan but it to keep the intolerable status quo in place forever.

Very much like Ukraine, none of the superpowers give a gently caress about the civilians on the ground; it's all about maintaining our ugly little empire and sticking it to our perceived enemies.
