View submission: Three Palestinian students shot and wounded in Burlington, Vermont, police say
This is what happens when you use dehumanizing language on Palestinians. When they are constantly called “evil”, “human animals,” “children of darkness,” “Amalek,” eventually they’ll be seen as subhuman or even savages.
It’s important to remember that most Palestinians have nothing to do with what happened on October the 7th. They are innocent and don’t deserve this. Don’t let the dehumanizing language disconnect you from the suffering of others.

A LOT of people on reddit are trying to argue it's ok for Israel to kill thousands of children because of where they live. There are way too many people here who have no clue and are pro-killing.
It is ok that this happens in Palestine but it's not ok if the civilian is killed in the US. So many pro-Israel people in reddit have no clue. Anyone innocent being killed is bad anywhere. It is never justified.
Meanwhile in Israel a large part of the population are against the government killing so many Palestinians - but the clueless redditor thinks Israel murdering thousands of civilians (and so many children) is fine and needed.

Here's where you start to lose me. On one hand, I 100% agree that pro-Palestinian opinions are valid and no-one should be dehumanized for supporting them. However on the other hand Hamas are unequivocally terrorists, racists, rapists and murders. Anyone who equates being pro-Palestinian with being pro-Hamas (ie "from the river to the sea" etc) is crossing a line - IMO - between having a valid political/values/cultural stance to supporting terror.
If you believe that attacking 3 students because of their religion is wrong, then you cannot condone murdering 1400 Israelis because of their religion.
