No uninvolved civilians huh? Where have I heard that before…

The "settlers" have used force for political reasons so they're terrorists.

Terrorists aren't civilians so they're all valid targets.

So what you’re telling me is if you lived in Israel you’d be pro-genocide lol. You’re using the exact same logic as a transparent fig leaf for your anger and hatred, just like many Israelis do against Palestinians.

You can’t make blanket statements about people based on where they live or what family they were born to. They’re all different individuals with different beliefs and backgrounds. Not all Israelis support the violence, not all of them are settlers, many were born there. Some even lived there for generations. This is nonsense.

I never mentioned all Israelis. I said the settlers are terrorists, which they are per the definition.

Also what anger and hatred? I’m simply calling it as I see it.

The settlers use violence to destroy Palestinian communities, bulldoze them and then build their homes on stolen land in pursuit of a political agenda.

They’re terrorists and strikes on terrorists should be recognised as such.

Contextually I thought you were just calling all Israelis settlers. All Israelis (and all Iranians) will be threatened by a war between their countries. But OK, if that’s not what you meant then what I said doesn’t apply. Just a weird thing to focus on since it’s unlikely Iran would specifically target settlers.
