    Great idea. Show every separatist movement in the world that a day of unrestrained terrorism, including murder, rape and baking babies gets rewarded.

      As compared to a month of unrestrained terrorism with multiple times more babies being murdered?

      That’s how USA came to be. And Ireland. And Haiti. And France. And many other country today that used to be ruled under a colonist.

      Not justify murdering, but lets not pretend that a lot of country today did not go through guerrilla warfare to get independence. If Zionist didn’t oppress them, 7th October incident will not happen.

        Technically France wasn’t founded by separatism but instead by state collapse via the dissolution of the carolingian empire

        The last I checked, the USA didn’t come into existence from suicide bombings at busses and restaurants, and massacres of civilians at music festivals.

        According to Wikipedia,

        The IRA’s offensive campaign mainly targeted the British Army (including the UDR) and the RUC, with British soldiers being the IRA’s preferred target.[15][236] Other targets included British government officials, politicians, establishment and judicial figures, and senior British Army and police officers.[237][238] The bombing campaign principally targeted political, economic and military targets, and was described by counter-terrorism expert Andy Oppenheimer as “the biggest terrorist bombing campaign in history”.[239] Economic targets included shops, restaurants, hotels, railway stations and other public buildings.[229] The IRA was blamed for the Abercorn Restaurant bombing in March 1972, when a bomb exploded without warning killing two women and injuring many people.[n 23][240] Due to negative publicity after the Abercorn bombing, the IRA introduced a system of telephoned coded warnings to try and avoid civilian casualties while still causing the intended damage to properties and the economy.[n 24][245] Civilian deaths were counter-productive to the IRA, as they provided the British with propaganda coups and affected recruitment and funding.[246] Despite this IRA bombs continued to kill civilians, generally due to IRA mistakes and incompetence or errors in communication.

        Hamas, though, has deliberately targeted civilians for decades. Their goal hasn’t been economic damage but as many Israeli deaths as possible.

          Last i checked USA also conduct ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people of America and call them discriminatory name, and when they fight back they called them terrorist.

          And they also own slave. And there’s also war about slavery.

      Terrorism is the war of the poor
      Hold up a mirror so the script get flipped
      Cause when it’s in reverse it ain’t wrong no more
      Warfare’s the terrorism of the rich

      Who’s the true guerilla
      When the bomb on your body killing innocent civilians
      But a life is a life and a killer is a killer
      You’re at a desk chillin’ push a button kill a million

      See the anguish of the parents
      When they’re carrying the body of the baby that they cherish
      When innocent people perish
      It’s a very thin line between a soldier and a terrorist

      Palestine is not separatist. Its the pre-colonial inhabitants fighting back against settler colonialism terror and asserting their right to an independent state and freedom.
