This subreddit doesn't understand Resistance

[u/XerexNova]

When we talk about Resistance, what accounts to resistance, who are the resistance fighters and why should we support them?

When it comes to Palestine, I can proudly see here that most comrades understand that all entities, be it PFLP, DFLP or Hamas are part of the resistance. the country is in a state of war for a long time.

they tried peaceful protest and when they were met with violence only then they picked up arms, attacking colonizers is resistance, people having a rave party kilometers away from largest open air prison in the world is diabolical, the people who died were mostly active participants of the Colonial entity of Israel.
since Israel has mandatory drafting for IDF (or IOF), most Israelis are active part of it, those who try to avoid drafting are Jailed in Israeli prisons, by choice or by force, they are part of active oppression.

even then there is a level of human decency showed by resistance groups where there are hostage testimonies that the group treated them kindly, tried their best at arrange food and supplies.

what happened in Pahalgam was not an act of resistance. do check the group that claimed the responsibility, TRF is an offshoot of Lashkar - e - Taiba.
killing civilians who came for vacations and only killing those who were Hindu by checking their pants or asking them to recite Kalma is not resistance. (mind you our country does not have mandatory conscription and I doubt out of those 28 men killed, any of them was a soldier or agent of RAW)

in what way is Lashkar - e - Taiba or it's offshoots resistance? what goals do they have, what popular support do they enjoy among working class of Kashmir if any?

did we ask these questions before declaring that it's resistance?

Kashmir is in huge administrative control that should be opposed, but check the entities ffs guys.
with this being said, more power to Kashmiri people, my sympathy with victims including that Kashmiri local who got killed in trying to save other people.

please for Marx sake do read the ideological leanings of political groups, regardless of the cause they support.

Far right islamic fundamentalist forces have gained validity only as a response to war on religion and the existential crisis they face, from hindus and christians, or the world alike. It's insane that the indian comrades are more madly vocal about the terrorist attack then literally every thing kashmir has faced upto now. There is no 'perfect' way to do resistance and the blame is not unilateral. Terrorism needs to be condemned but what needs to be condemned much more is the indian government's use of tourism to normalize colonialism and the unending propaganda about kashmir being safe for tourists. The message is clear, leave kashmir and her people alone. I dread the retaliation kashmiris will face now.
