TIL that in 2018, thousands of Gazans peacefully demonstrated against Israel's siege of the territory.

In response, IDF forces opened fire on the demonstrators with live ammunition. Some they shot to kill, others they shot in the leg, crippling them for life. Others they shot with rubber bullets and tear gas. They shot women, children, the elderly, paramedics, and journalists.

A UN Commission found that Israeli soldiers likely committed war crimes or crimes against humanity. Investigating from March 30 to December 31, 2018, the Commission reported 183 Palestinian protester deaths from live ammunition, including children, medics, and journalists. Over 6,000 were injured by gunfire.

It's funny how colonialists will always blame the oppressed for defending themselves against oppression.

If you ignore or violently suppress all peaceful resistance, don't be all /surprised Pikachu face/ when an oppressed people use the only resort they have left.
