Double standards

Four Settlers are killed and it's shock and horror! "Civilians" falling "victims" to "terror"! But who exactly are those cute little things?
Here's a resume of their daily occupation (pun intended): Just in the Past few weeks:

  1. This seems as good a place as any to plant this post, where the attack of civilians is condemned with –
    “The Israeli army is a legitimate target. Civilians are never legitimate targets.”
    Does it ever cross the mind of those who say civilian attacks are wrong, that this is exactly what is done by both military IDF and para-settlers on a daily basis? I do not say I agree but understand, what use is it to die in a hail of bullets and missiles from the fourth most powerful armed forces on the earth? If you were seeking to reciprocate after decades of murderous settler state activity, what would you do? Would you not want to inflict the same pain and suffering given in large daily doses to your people?
    Historically there is only one plan that has ever routed a settler state, and that is to rid the area of settlers by any means necessary, and there has only been one way for a settler state to take over – almost if not the entire annihilation of the indigenous population. The only way to get rid of a settler state is to make the common settler citizens life almost totally impossible to live – or to remain alive.

    A LESSON FROM HISTORY

    If you think that violence has not played a role in every liberation you need to re-read history, especially in reference to would-be settler states. Now you can deny this all you like, but you are not dealing in the realm of reality or history. In this instance it has become almost unavoidable, the entire Western world has tolerated and has supported this atrocious activity, thorough both silence, complicity, and proactive support and without force meeting force (no matter what your preferences are, you are not, most of you, even slightly inconvenienced by this murderous settler state activity) – here is a template of the end with no viable resistance (below) –

    A TEMPLATE OF NO RESISTANCE

    I have news for you,  the aggressor (Israel) never retreats.
