    A bit much IMO. I get why both things happened on a “the country deserved it” level but innocent people suffered the most in both cases. It’s shooting up a Walmart because you hate the corporation.

    Fuck the USA but the people in the towers weren’t the ones dropping bombs. Fuck Israel but the festival attendees didn’t deserve to die

    And before anyone says “they were guilty of complicity,” if that’s true then why would I celebrate the actions of those who caused direct harm which then led to a fuckton of more harm to the people they did it in “support” of?

    And to be clear, I’m not going to demonize either group of attackers. It’s understandable that a victim would lash out like that. But I sure as hell don’t “LOVE” either event.

      Having a festival right next to an open concentration camp will have them rightfully die. Very deserved.

      but innocent people suffered the most in both cases.

      9/11 wasn’t even remotely a blip in comparison to what your country has done to the global south for decades and then decades thereafter. A few thousand money men compared to millions of innocent people killed to maintain the system that the money men themselves work for.
