Free Palestine is premised on the belief that murder, sexual abuse and other atrocities are acceptable, even lauded based on accusatory narratives, including narratives about oppression and occupation.
Narratives about oppression, occupation or other accusations are used to justify a right to murder, sexually abuse and commit other atrocities.
While the narratives about oppression, occupation or other accusations do get challenged, the belief that anyone has a right to murder, sexually abuse and commit other atrocities is rarely challenged.
Israelis, the majority of whom are of middle east descent with no history of having lived in Europe, have their own histories of expulsion, ethnic cleansing, oppression, murder and massacres under the hands primarily of Arabs.
This does not give them a right any more than narratives of oppression give Palestinian Arabs the right, or any peoples in the world, no matter how oppressed they may or may not be, the right to murder, sexually abuse, and commit other atrocities.
Believing in a right to murder, sexually abuse and commit other atrocities, which is what is meant by resistance by any means, is a demonic call for the infliction of enormous cruelty, pain and misery.
Anyone that claims to care about children and the blood shed of innocent people, and yet supports the right to murder and abuse, bears responsibility for the loss of civilian lives and the blood shed from the wars that inevitably result, not only in Gaza, but all over the world, from those who act out on this fictional perverse right to murder and abuse.
Morality is devolving into where victimhood and oppression narratives, regardless of whether they are true or not, bestow on the ones considered victimized or oppressed this fictional, perverse right.
No matter the reasons or justifications given, no human being, no group of people, no one, have the right to murder and abuse.
This condescending acceptance of high levels of violence and cruelty always leads to disaster.
It is not the recipe for liberation. It is the recipe only for endless war, terror and suffering.
