    What the fuck did you expect, Israel? What the fuck did you actually expect? The only surprise is that this is such a rare occurrence. So long as you keep in place apartheid and occupation you will be dealing with violence. So long as you oppress and genocide people you will have to deal with shit exactly like this. There is no way that you would externalize violence completely without some of it coming back to hurt you.

    And to fucking western apartheid enablers and Zionist apologists: see what the fuck you’re doing? This blood is on your hands too. Every time you cajole Israeli maximalism and Jewish supremacy, each time you enable the occupation and apartheid and genocide to continue you’re preparing the next random act of violence against Jewish civilians too.

    This is your mess. You shit this bed, you clean this up. And have no fucking illusions: there is only one way out of this mess and it’s to finally get it drilled into your fucking heads that Palestinian lives matter. So long as you operate from a premise that they don’t, this is the shit you’ll be dealing with.

    EDIT:

    Meanwhile, in Gaza: “6 more Palestinians, including 2 children, die of malnutrition”, while the BBC Middle East page has the following headlines:

    • Six killed by Palestinian gunmen at Jerusalem bus stop
    • Netanyahu vows to ‘catch everyone who helped’ attackers, after six killed in Jerusalem shooting
    • Palestinian prisoners not being given adequate food, Israel top court says
    • Thousands throng Jerusalem to press Netanyahu to make hostage release deal
    • Greta Thunberg’s Gaza flotilla arrives in Tunisia
    • Microsoft cloud services disrupted by Red Sea cable cuts
    • Hamas releases video of two Israeli hostages held in Gaza

    5 Israelis dead, front and centre. 6 (more) Palestinians, including 2 kids? Got to go to the CBC and find the information in the body of the article. That’s what I mean. Palestinian lives don’t matter to apartheid enablers the same way Israeli lives matter. So long as that’s true, well what the fuck do you expect to happen?
