What kind of a society do you want to live in? We do not have any moral high ground if we BECOME the enemy.

Please watch this Aamer Rahman bit, and really try to understand why you’re wrong:
Aamer Rahman: Is it really ok to punch nazis?www.youtube.com

At no point was I talking about punching nazis, until 1 person moved the goal post to that as some kind of purity test. They were happy to answer for me so I would “fail” for anyone unwilling to read all the context. Unless they’ve deleted them, there’s a firehose stream of malignant posts from them

This conversation started because of news that the DA is refusing to charge a guy who admitted to assaulting protesters. It was mentioned that the state deliberately letting their supporters assault people is a fascist tactic, and you got mad at me for hoping On faces extralegal consequences.

"youth involved in street violence should face extralegal execution" is an extraordinary position to take and an even more extraordinary position to think of as pro-Palestinian

what point do you think you're making here, exactly

Those are extra legal measures being taken against Palestinians by the IDF, unless you think tying an injured person to a vehicle is legal.

and do you think those are good, or bad

Did I leave it ambiguous when I wrote about tying wounded Palestinians to military vehicles as to whether I thought that was bad? I have to wonder if there is a context in which you think that even possibly might be good. Bad, obviously.

i found it very ambiguous considering you posted it in response to a post heavily implying extralegal violence is bad, with an "ahem" which usually denotes throat clearing disagreement

therefore it seems wise to clarify on whether you are one of the folk who say, "they do it, therefore we should be allowed to commit the same evils"

Perhaps you are someone who excuses crimes by saying "others do worse" but you do not need to project. Others of us just think doing bad things is bad, actually. Especially when the army is western, supposedly following laws, and is financed, armed and diplomatically defended by our governments.

Yes, it was sort of ambiguous, since you didn't actually write any of that.
Dah Joos Ar Evul is the point that they are trying to get at. If they could somehow grow one between their shoulder blades, and just lead with that, then they would be a little less tiresome.
