      Yeah, I’m not going to disagree with the condemnation of the terrorist attack. That said, Israel has been, objectively, committing war crimes for decades now unpunished.

      Two wrongs don’t make a right, not justifying just explaining, and all that.

          Fully agree Israel has a right to defend itself but what it seems to be doing now is more akin to invasive eradication than defense. They are on the offensive. Why does 1.2K dead in Israel justify 18K dead, hospitals targeted and destroyed, and a forced emigration of citizens in Gaza?

          If a terrorist organization ruled the US I’m sure more than half the country would vote in support either out of blind nationalism or fear. Putin’s got >90% support, eh? I don’t think it’s fair to say any recent election in Gaza is unbiased. It would also seem not so unreasonable that to the people of Gaza, Hamas looks more friendly than Israel recently.

              The main difference is the power dynamic. One of those groups has all of the power, including the backing of the US military, while the other is a reaction to oppression.

              Only one of those two parties has the power to end all of this right now.

          Take my upvote, a rare one on the worldnews group.

          After reading past your first paragraph, I’m not sure I want it from you.

          Hamas is a reaction to the mess, not its “designer.”

      your apology for terrorists and war crimes and settler colonialism and genocide by the elected government of Israel says everything
