Maybe don’t have your “festival for peace and love” in an apartheid state about 5km from one of the most contested borders in the world? Not saying what Hamas did was right but goddamn was that some ignorant yuppie shit to have a music festival right there
I won’t deny my original thought on hearing this was who would be reckless enough to have a festival in this powderkeg of a region but reading this makes me hate myself for that. These are innocent folks trying to enjoy themselves in what is the most disheartening places in the world and its ridiculous to somehow blame them for what happened and what they’ve gone through.
If they didn’t want to be violently raped and murdered why did they dress and behave so provocatively by holding a peaceful dance party nearby? Yeah clearly it was their fault. 🙄

It was mostly the “living in an apartheid state” part, actually.
Did you know that 20% of citizens of Israel identify as Arab or Palestinean? Maybe it’s not about race and calling this apartheid is reductionist to the point of absurdity.
@DarkGamer @tryptaminev @HidingCat @Cjwii @TheTetrapod That sounds great, until you see how they’re treated as 2nd class citizens
That’s like saying that because a significant portion of South Africans were black, apartheid never existed. Which is ridiculous.
