Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Please explain to me how defining the murder of civilians as a legitimate and legal attack for the crime of existing in a country while a particular ethnicity is anything but a call for ethnic cleansing.
Characterising fighting against an occupying force as "calling for the genocide of the working class for being the wrong ethnicity" is deliberately misinterpreting the post that (I presume you) were responding to.
That is a strawman.
"[attack targeting civilians] was a legitimate attack against an occupying force."
"Innocent civilians are not an occupying force"
"When they're the people who've stolen your homes and land, they are"
Please, explain this to me. Explain to me how "Israeli civilians are legitimate targets because they're the ethnicity who've stolen your homes and land" isn't a call for genocide.
None of the sentences you've quoted mention either working class or ethnicity.
“Innocent civilians are not an occupying force”
This discounts action, as 'innocent', 'civilian' and 'not an occupying force' are all specified.
“When they’re the people who’ve stolen your homes and land, they are”
... so what the fuck other use of "the people" here is there? It can't be referring to a group of people who are performing an action, that was explicitly discounted by the prior comment. "who've stolen your homes and land", especially in the context of civilians attacked who were nowhere near illegal settlements, is referring to - and this may be shocking - Israelis.
As for working class, who the ever-loving fuck do you think makes up the majority of most civilian populations
You can lead a man to logic but you can't make him think.
