54. Citizens or freedom fighters of British colonies
Sat Mar 2, 2024, 02:24 PM

attacked music festivals and then raped and mutiliated civilian concert goers, including children? Please provide an instance of this, I'm curious to see where you got this particular piece of information.

"Sneaking up on an unsuspecting soldier" is different from gang raping and then murdering civilians, yes? "The British lost soldier after soldier..." Are you actually equating that sort of guerilla warfare, with what Hamas did on October 7th? Seriously?

BTW, the most successful campaign against British colonialism, certainly in terms of scale, was the Satyagraha led by Gandhi, Nehru and Co. This was mostly non-violent and didn't involve stabbing British soldiers, unsuspecting or otherwise. It certainly didn't call for the murder of every British person in India, not to mention every British person in the world. Nor did it deliberately provoke memories of a past genocide of British people.

Surely you must see the difference?
