No one has the right to murder. No one has the right to sexually abuse.
A man argued that the Nova Music Festival was held on stolen land and that therefore Hamas and company were justified in raping and murdering the music festival attendees. Meanwhile, he himself lives comfortably in North America on land that was stolen from native peoples.
More important than the stolen land argument being untrue is that even if true, which it is not, it does not negate the fact that no narratives about stolen land, occupation or anything else, including religious or political beliefs, gives anyone the right to murder and sexually abuse.
Crimes of the past, grievances past or present, real or not, do not bestow on anyone a right to murder, sexually abuse and commit other atrocities.
Conflating war with murder is one of the latest in efforts to justify murder and sexual abuse. War is tragic, but war and murder are not the same. Sometimes war, which always result in the deaths of babies, children and civilians, is the only way to stop the murderous.
War was the only way to stop the murdering, genocidal Hitler and company. War was the only way to stop the genocidal ISIS, Khmer Rouge, the genocidal in Rwanda, and far more genocidal murderers, including Hamas and company, which murders Israeli civilians, and wages war and terror using Gazan civilians to hide behind and beneath.
Conflating casualties of war with murder or genocide is the latest in efforts to support murderers by those that share the religious or political beliefs of the murderers.
Murdering, sexually abusing and committing other atrocities are indefensible evils, not rights.
