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 himelf lives comfortably in North America on land that was stolen from native peoples.
More importantly than the fact that the stolen land argument is untrue is the fact that no narratives about stolen land or anything else, including religious or political beliefs, gives anyone the right to murder and sexually abuse.
Demonizing narratives used to justify or defend murder and sexual abuse have become far too common and accepted.
Regardless of whether these narratives are true or not, the fact remains that no one has the right to murder and sexually abuse.
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.
It has also become common to hide demonizing and defamation behind virtue signaling.
Hitler and his minions were despicable. but it gave no one the right to murder the children or relatives of those evil men and women.
Murdering, sexually abusing and committing other atrocities are not rights.
Crimes of the past, real or not, must stop be used as excuses to commit crimes in the present.
No matter how it is intellectualized, including by many academics that give convoluted, word salad nonsense explanations in their defense, deflections and justifications for murder and sexual abuse, the fact remains that murder and sexual abuse are terrible crimes against humanity.
To the many that believe they have bestowed on themselves or others by virtue of grievances or something else, a right to murder, sexually abuse or commit other atrocities - they are far beyond just being wrong.
Committing murder, sexual abuse or other atrocities is the right of no one.
