No, this does not make Israel's ongoing genocide 'okay' or less heinous. But, for all my complaints about the Fediverse, thankfully, Israel's ongoing genocide is widely recognized by commenters. Apologia for the murder of civilians and ethnic cleansing, however, is also prominent, and fuck that.
Ah thanks, my chihuahua brain thought ‘Apologia’ meant Apology and I was confused Edit: I haven’t however seen anybody in lemmy who said killing Israeli civilians is justified
Your meme is about the genocide being the fault of imaginary tankies that supposedly love Hamas killing civilians, or am I not interpreting it correctly?
Not interpreting it correctly. The meme is suggesting that the apologia for Hamas's war crimes and goals by tankies is actually damaging to the Palestinian cause here in the West.
The ongoing genocide is not addressed directly by the meme. The burning town is simply part of the meme template which is used for self-defeating and self-congratulatory actions.
If that was not your intention then I apologize for insulting you, I have deleted that comment.
While I agree with your comment that glorifying the killing of civilians is bad, I haven’t actually seen anyone doing it. Only screenshot these types of comments, which are are always completely downvoted into the ground, making it seem like a false flag.
It seems like it’s just used as a deflection from IDF apologists about how the rest of the world seems to be fine with Hamas killing civilians
Nobody is celebrating the murder of civilians. We’re just not stupid enough to think that while Hamas did in fact commit heinous acts, this is how it ends every time when the oppressive country shoots peaceful protestors.
israel could have redeemed in 2018 with the Peaceful march to return but instead shot at peaceful protestors and even killed a medic.
