In the recent Lemmy developer update [https://lemmy.ml/comment/4569805], there’s
a reference to one Lemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917
[https://lemmy.ml/u/CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml]. I found some horrifying
comments from this user. https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649200
[https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649200] - “There is no such thing as an Israeli
civilian. All settlers are valid targets.” https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649472
[https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649472] - “15 year olds are military age. That
makes them valid targets for killing.” https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649732
[https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649732] - “… There is no such thing as a zionoid
civilian. Everything that moves and isn’t Palestinian is a valid target. …”

“Personally? I try to make it a point to use pejoratives like “tankies”. In part because I know people are stupid and will view even that as me saying “all leftists” (which is funny since, while I tend to identify more as a “liberal”, I am very much on that spectrum).”
I don’t think settlers are civilians in the normal sense. They are combatants, they steal homes by force, attack Palestinians, and function as irregular occupying troops.

That is very true in West Bank settlements but on “Israel” “proper” things are a bit more iffy tbh.
That’s fair
