    I am still surprised by how people get (understandably) outraged at the IDF online but seem to forget that Hamas took those hostages in the first place. A lot of this bloodshed could be stopped right now if Hamas released them.

    Sure, the Israeli government is fucking insane, but there are two sides fighting this war.

      Also the IDF was fired upon when they raided. That makes this just war. Hamas chose the war zone.

      I don’t see Hamas as a “side”. I see them as evil fucking terrorists willing to use their own people as shields.

      How many times have we seen this, though? People take human shields all the time in and outside of wars. The answer is never to ignore the shields. Those are fucking people.

      Both sides are fucking monsters in this conflict… But Israel is emphatically more successful at killing civilians. It’s literally a fact at this stage, with mountains of evidence.
