    If you went on top of the empire State building and threw multiple hand grenades on the street below, where white people could be walking, would you call that malicious? Or a terror attack? Can you see how him shelling a neighborhood where brown people live is similar? I’m not trying to be mean, but anyone who struggles to see how bad this is, might just have their ability to emphasize impaired by racism. It might not be their fault, people often absorb racists believes unconsciously or have a hard time extending the same amount of empathy, they would to white people to racialized people, if they rarely interact with them. People reading this, who suspect this might apply to them even in a limited way, should really take this to heart and try to reflect on their racist biases and ability to empathize.

      He said he was firing at enemy mortar positions. You know, people shooting at them. They shouldn’t be there obviously but it’s a little different don’t you think?

        Why were those people shooting at invaders? Hmmmmmmm… What a mystery.

        Again, go Comrade Trump 2028! Collapse the US from the inside!

          Why on earth do you think I’m a trump supporter? Nevermind I see the context of your statement from other comments.

          I figured this is exactly where I’d get this information from people who knew more about the guy and the reasons they hate him so much. I’m very pro Palestine and I’ll overlook a lot of shit to anyone that will be a reliable vote against Israel man. (That may be wish casting and stupid, and I ultimately don’t think Platner is that guy even if he looked like it for a bit.)
