In the recent Lemmy developer update [https://lemmy.ml/comment/4569805], there’s
a reference to one Lemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917
[https://lemmy.ml/u/
[email protected]]. I found some horrifying
comments from this user. https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649200
[https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649200] - “There is no such thing as an Israeli
civilian. All settlers are valid targets.” https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649472
[https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649472] - “15 year olds are military age. That
makes them valid targets for killing.” https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649732
[https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649732] - “… There is no such thing as a zionoid
civilian. Everything that moves and isn’t Palestinian is a valid target. …”

Some of those comments do be sounding kinda insane and unnecessary. Zionoid? Really?
Its unfortunate that civilians (yes that includes settlers) died. However its important to acknowledge that Palestine doesn’t have an organized army like “Israel” does.
“Israelis” can leave, Palestinians can’t.
I don’t think settlers are civilians in the normal sense. They are combatants, they steal homes by force, attack Palestinians, and function as irregular occupying troops.
That is very true in West Bank settlements but on “Israel” “proper” things are a bit more iffy tbh.
That’s fair
