    The French Resistance wasn’t stupid enough to take on an armed encampment. Then again, these were stupid kids. And it goes on. Missles still fly into Israel. Raids like this still happen.

      So…

      If someone showed up to your house with a foreign government’s military. And they said they’re taking all your belongings and to fuck off or they’ll kill you.

      How many times would you start a new life from nothing before fighting back?

      Would you eventually just lay down and die instead of starting over? Or do you think eventually the foreign military will kill you first if you don’t put your hands up fast enough?

      What would you do in their shoes if this was such a terrible plan?

          Justify what?

          Fighting to take their land back from illegal foreign invasion?

          Why are you ok with the illegal seizure of land that as far as anyone can tell, literally just happened since the IDF was still there?

          A bunch of foreign soldiers show up and point guns at you so if you don’t die right then it’s their forever?

          I’m not trying to justify anything. I’m trying (and failing) to understand what you’re going on about.

          If the original land owners had brought their own military with guns, would that mean they got it back, is that the difference?

          So anyone with a gun just automatically gains land rights?
