I'm very conflicted on this. On the one hand, it is a good thing when genocide collaborators die, that's two less to worry about, but on the other, this could serve as a catalyst for further Zionist crackdowns on free speech.

I understand the catch 22 of it. But they are already doing crackdowns, and even without this, they have already planned more crackdowns. So it means that being afraid/concerned about potential crackdowns only really helps the Zionists/fascists. Just like the Dems always being concerned about how the Republicans will react makes them not actually accomplish anything ever. Never bothered to force things like Roe v Wade into official law when they had chances and just kept it as just an up in the air thing. There are very much times and places for trying "good faith" efforts. But they mean nothing and get stomped on if you already know the other side is "bad faith" only.
They were already cracking down. Did you forget what happened to the student protests?

They were going to crackdown anyway. There is no form of effective resistance to Israel that they would not respond to with escalating violence

I know it makes me a terrible person. But I have trouble coming up with any response to this except "good. The time for bullshit words is over"
They were judged under the standard they themselves espoused.
They were very pro Trump. The kind of Israelis that celebrate the genocide.
And to think, there are people around here who accuse me of not being a "real" leftist. Who but a leftist would post a page from from a webcomic that's 90% text? Checkmate libs.

I don't necessarily believe that civilians are legitimate targets, but these two men, the government they served, and the government of the country they were killed in, are all extremely firm believers that they are.
I don't celebrate their deaths and I wish this didn't happen but if they support the same thing happening to other noncombatants, I have a hard time seeing how this isn't karma.
