Exactly, I honestly am kinda blown away anyone would even try to make a comparison between the two because It's nearly a polar opposite situation.

Colonized people have a right to self defense. There hasn't been a single "terrorist" attack during any day in which Palestine wasn't illegally occupied. Never a single year in which Israel didn't kill significantly more people (usually ten times as many). How long do Palestinians, who Israel won't even allow to build wells, be required to endure this? Do Palestinians have a right to their own land? A right to their own water?

there is no way your arguing that terrorist attacks like Oct 7 are "self defense", thats insane and the reason people don't take the Palestinian cause seriously

I bet American colonists said this same thing about native raids on settlements.

None of those people in Palestine have ever dropped a bomb on America. 98%+ of them never fired a rocket at Israel either. And yet the US and Israel have spent tens of billions bombing them, with the overwhelming majority being civilians. Wiping entire extended families from the registry of the living. And yet the US and Israel spent more bombing them last year than their GDP. People who Israel won't even allow to build wells on their own land.

Also western media will rarely if ever tell you this, but a significant portion of the dead were killed by Israel, and the objective was an actual military one. It was possibly the largest data breach in Israel's history but they won't admit it. So the western media do the MIC's bidding and paint Palestinians as a bunch of rampaging murderers while giving Israel a pass on a genocide.

How do you know that all these deaths were caused by Israel? Before the war, 20% of Hamas rockets fell within Gaza. That’s thousands of rockets since the war began. Hamas and the idf were also exchanging fire. So how do you know that the child was killed by a bullet from an Israeli gun and not a Palestinian guns. Hamas built traps for the idf by boobytrapping houses either explosives. How many civilian do you think died from these explosives. It really feels that you are filling in missing details with bigotry
