    It would have been much more difficult for the US and Israel to manufacture public consent without a reason like hummas. And a decent portion of public consent is very important.

      Yeah don’t worry, if it wasn’t an actual resistance they could point to to justify their genocide they would have found or invented another reason, like saddam’s totally real WMD.

      This strikes me as similar to the “don’t fight back against ICE violence because they want you to be violent to justify what they’re already doing” line of thinking. They have all the power in the world to invent a justification, they don’t need one from you.
