"It's the innocent protestors' fault that they got shot."

Your claim to me showing you that innocent protestors got shot is to claim that "violence begets violence"

What exactly do you mean?

No, it's not. Please stop putting words in my mouth, and creating strawman.

This is what I originally said when you brought up that claim...

Ultimately, yes. We’re all more interconnected with each other than we’d like to admit, and violence begets violence.

By ultimately I mean indirectly, not directly, and hence, violence begets violence.

What exactly do you mean?

That everything is not just its own unique moment in time. You have to consider the meta, and the events that leads up to other events. It's a chain of events.

So you're apologizing for the IDF shooting unarmed, innocent, civilian protestors? Many of them women and children?
