        This is the real reason why Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organization. They caused millions in damages to Elbit systems and other infrastructure that supports the genocide, effectively shutting down several weapons facilities and forcing Barclays Bank to divest from Elbit. They were extremely effective, and the UK government couldn’t handle that heat.

        Yep. Unfortunately, it’s often a lot easier for people to explode than entire warehouses/datacenters. I mean, some guy burned down an entire Amazon (?) warehouse and they aren’t in that much distress

      Military sure doesn’t think so, kill, and your enemy loses one soldier, wound, and they lose at least two, if not more, as they have to provide medical care, transport, rehabilitate etc., much more expensive and often more demoralizing.

        I’m sorry, clearly you haven’t listened to the US secretary of defense. Do you think you know more about war than the current us secretary of defense?
