    Yes I’m a pacifist. What makes you think I’m not?

    The Israeli government is a far right one with fascist tendencies that was already trying to take full control of the courts before October 7th happened. It is NOT a stable liberal democracy, it’s an increasingly authoritarian government trying to tightly control everything and oppressing not only Palestinians but Israeli citizens too.

    The other one is an authoritarian theocracy.

    No argument there. You don’t have to not abhor Hamas to abhor the atrocities of the Israeli government.

    The reason I mentioned the fact that I’m anti-authoritarian had nothing to do with the genocide in particular and everything to do with the fact that tankies are by definition authoritarian, which is one of the many reasons why it’s ridiculous to assume that I’m a tankie.
