Not to mention numerous Black Panthers, civil rights leaders, many others killed. The state knows that assassination can work.

People often talk about going back in time to kill baby Hitler. By all measures Trump would like to be a new Hitler and his most fervent supporters see him as that. Is it surprising people would support such an action to stop him?

I don’t think Hamas has sniper drones shooting children coming and going from hospitals in Israel

The political establishment in Israel does not recognize Palestine, their goal has long been the eradication of the Palestinian nation.

Diverging IDF agendas: “Should we bomb the children or starve them?”

If every politician we can vote for is evil or a slightly ‘lesser’ evil, we need to do much more than vote anyway.

“Oh my god you shot me, I’m going to die, but I don’t blame you because you didn’t invent the gun”

You have views that are independently more left or right, but say if your views were a political party, it would be placed on a spectrum from left to right based on how many of these positions fall on either side of the spectrum. Typically the views that are seen as far left and far right are mutually exclusive, like authoritarian centralized governance versus decentralization, increased immigration vs decreased, but it’s true there is a lot of nuance lost when things are viewed that way.

“I want to eradicate non-whites and install a christo-fascist dictator” is as obnoxious as “all people deserve housing and healthcare and a system based on extracting all excess profit from workers is exploitation”

Sorry to say if your views are closer to true libertarianism and the principles favored by those links you would likely be considered distinctly leftist. Dbzer0 is a primarily anarchist community, on the far-left.

If viewed like a ‘total war’, attacking every possible advantage the enemy may have whether civilian or military, it does makes sense from a historic military doctrine standpoint. The IDF believes they are immune to judgement and prosecution, and their goal is to destroy the Palestinian nation and people. They believe they are righteous, supported by God, so any attack that has a chance to weaken the Palestinian people is an attack they will take.

Overall though I believe these attacks have weakened support for Israel so much that they have a greater chance of being defeated than anytime I’ve seen before this conflict.

Especially when knowing that the attacking force has no care for whether their strikes hit a foreign aid group or Palestinian civilians.

Their supporters still will say they have the most sophisticated weaponry and guidance systems. These attacks are purposeful.

Do you doubt that? What is your idea of the left? What is seen as ‘left’ or even what conservatives call ‘the radical left’ in the US would likely be seen as center or center-right globally.

It’s considered ‘left’ to support queer and trans rights, and there are a good number of people that seem to have a problem with that whether my queer self is political or not.

A socialist system doesn’t have to be state-based. Socialism can encompass anarchism, anarcho-communism and many other left ideologies besides state-communism.
