Not directly a peace festival per se, but knowing the crowd at these psy-trance festivals and parties (I used to go to a lot of them), most of them were peace loving misfits forgetting the hardships of life with music and ugh… stuff that makes you happy. I can’t think too long about these poor kids experiencing hell just before they died. There’s no excuse for this, no matter the context

A peace festival held in outskirts of a concentration camp, where people are getting massacred daily. Where children get separated from their parents or families daily, if not murdered themselves or burned alive or raped. Where people are given just enough electricity, drinking water and food to experience slow death and suffer.

Literally you have the entire world open, and if all the places to party and rave you choose that? It's pretty ironic to call it a peace festival.

Let me steal your home. I will not allow any resistance from you or your future grandkids for a century. I expect you to calmly surrender everything and go die wherever you want. How will you react?

Hamas is a great militant group for Palestine. Israel should be wiped off the map.

A constant problem is either an apathetic or even active citizenry supporting those perpetuating the butchery. They either don't see it as their problem or see a schadenfreude like glee in seeing those they deem "subhuman" or unworthy of respect being treated like scum.

Wherever you are in the world, this is almost certainly applicable to you too, it's called propaganda, and we're all subject to it to one degree or another, as well as to education that deliberately doesn't give us the tools to think critically about such things, never mind nationalist indoctrination that comes from only teaching a washed version of history, rather than an honest look at it.

This isn't to justify or excuse the actions of any state or to imply there is a power balance, because there isn't, but it is one of the many ways all states control and manipulate enough of their population to remain in control despite clearly having no value for the lives of their people, only for their own power.

That’s not how downtrodden works.

What about mercs getting paid in drugs and rape?

You won't see me defending Israel. Ive spent a good chunk of my day condemning them. But those Hamas fighters didn't have to mass murder people at a dance party. What they were doing may have been insensitive given the proximity to Gaza, but they are not responsible for the apartheid state of Israel or the disgusting actions of the IDF or Israeli police force. Their actions would be somewhat understandable if they had only taken hostages, which they also did do, but the indiscriminate murder of innocent people is exactly what we're condemning Israel for. They didn't have to murder them. And its unclear what claims are true yet, but if the rest of them are true then they have committed some of the most vile disgusting acts human beings can inflict upon one another. Not that the response by Israel is justified even if they did do those things, but those actions if they are true are unjustifiable and inexcusable in every sense of the word. Rapists are evil, and their actions should see universal condemnation.

Sounds like "you deserved to get raped for wearing bikini" or something
