is it vengeance or is it preventing additional genocide? a ceasefire would be great, or the israelis simply going home would be great, but if they will not be so moved then smiting the IDF would be divine harm reduction.

i think there's a distinction between vengeance and violence as a means to an end/as a means of indirect self defense (which is what i'd argue a socialist rev would be), and yeah i think violence against the Israeli state and its jackboots is totally justified self defense. (also lmao i totally forgot i posted all that last night, i was Drinking Drinking huh...)
