Any support for Palestine is being called “terrorist” these days, so I’d rather make the judgment call for myself.

So what is your judgment call? Was the October 7th attack terrorism or not?

Do you think Palestine sprung into existence on October 7? Why does every discussion of Israel being genocidal colonizers come down to an incident that happened decades after their oppression of Palestine began?

No. I think most people know that Israel and Palestine were both established by the League of Nations back in the 40s post the fall of the Ottoman Empire, after which they proceeded to start fighting each other for fucking decades of pointless holy wars.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to the discussion at hand, however.

Uh, are we not currently in a thread specifically talking about an October 7th game or...?

From the linked article:

Fursan al-Aqsa was released in 2022

Calling it "an October 7th game" is a neat little piece of propaganda though. Good job falling for it.

(Edit) Yeah, actually after taking a look at your profile, you're not the kind of person I want taking up my mental energy.

You're clearly not very well informed, because the source of the controversy here is an October 7th themed update that came out in late 2023.

What kind of person would that be?
