    There’s no such thing as a settler proletariat or worker, 50% of work as IDF the other 50% work as police

      Here’s a fun fact, did you know that 65 other countries also have mandatory military service, including Iran? Being a class traitor by the law of the state doesn’t make you not proletariat.

      Abandoning massive chunks of workers based only on their place of birth or the bubble of propoganda they live in is the opposite of every reputable leftist ideology. If your empathy for the people crushed under the rubble of an apartment complex depends on the flag out front then just admit you’re a frothing nationalist and stop pretending.

        Here’s a fun fact, most Israelis—bourgeois and proletariat—approve of what the state of Israel is doing in Gaza.

        These are fascists. If there’s anything to be learned from WWII, it’s that no one is more antifascist than communists.

        Palestinians don’t have a nation. They’ve been under occupation by European settler-colonists for about 80 years.

        Palestinians have the right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle, while the State of Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”

        As for Iran, it is an anti-imperialist state retaliating against an unprovoked attack by an imperialist state, which it has the right to do by UN law. Marxist-Leninists give Iran our critical support[1] in the struggle against imperialist states, not to mention the struggle against genocide.

          Holy fuck you don’t even know what a nation is lmfao

          If there’s anything to be learned from WWII, it’s that no one is more antifascist than communists.

          If you knew anything about WW2, you’d know that strategic bombing of population centers was a futile effort that wasted lives. Allies and Axis both admitted it, and the Allies even stuck to day bombing to limit collateral damage.

          I’ve been asking up and down this thread for any context on what these bombs hit, any evidence at all, and all I get is equivocation like yours.

          Your “critical support” isn’t very critical at all, it’s pretty one dimensional. Isreal bombs a population center: bad. Iran bombs an Isreal population center: good. I’ve seen no depth beyond that.

        Yeah, mandatory military service, not mandatory baby killer service, No such thing as a settler comrade or a settler proletariat, a motherfucker who goes into Palestinian homes kills or kicks out the occupants and takes it as his deserves to get crushed by an airstrike.

          Total population of Israel: 9.2 million Total IDF personnel (including reservists): 500k Total settler population: 700k Total Isreal police force: <30k

          But sure, let’s glass them all. Especially the 86% that have no active involvement with what’s going on. You sound like a goddamn fool.

          Edit: let me cut off the horseshit collective punishment argument before you make it: you’re still cheering for your own class to be slaughtered

            I’d be fine if the apartheid government willingly dissolved and created a new system where the genocide of Palestinian people wasn’t the goal. A government that didn’t attack it’s neighbors on a whim.

            This could be bloodless, but unfortunately the state will not allow that

              Nobody expects the state to relinquish power without violence, but that doesn’t mean it’s OK to cheer clips of massive explosions within lethal range of civilian houses.

              I have yet to see anyone share hard evidence that these are targeted at military areas, let alone actually hitting them. Just a bunch of equivocation about military reserves and public opinion polls. Isreal rightfully caught shit for their pager attack being too indiscriminate but an explosion clearing half a city block isn’t?
