    The problem is, before they wemt on that murdering spree, the western world pretty much ignored their plight, or maybe tutted when they chucked a rocket or two over the border. But any kind of “proper” political solution was flatly ignored. It’s not a justification, but I have to say that I umderstand why that situation led to a “fuck it, let’s just rampage” attitude. And look, they actually have a tonne of eyeballs and attention on their shitty situation (and shitty leaders), so maybe something will come of this. Palestinians are paying an exorbitantly heavy price for it, though.

      Sure, but again - if you murder people at a music festival and take hostages, even if you might have reasons to do so - you can expect quite a lot of people to not be on your side. The only thing for sure is that terrorists won that one.

          Absolutely. Not sure why you would think I don’t understand the hatred Israel is getting.

          The only thing for sure is that Israel won that one.

          Not sure what Israel won, despite making sure there will be another generation of Palestinian freedom fighters with rather questionable methods.

              I wasn’t making a statement about you, I just wanted to demonstrate the statement can be made in any way.

              But you were responding to a actual person, me. So it would have helped if you clarified it wasn’t about me - don’t you think?

              Israel bred the Hamas of tomorrow for sure. But they did win in terms of getting closer to turning Gaza into a settlement.

              Even that sounds to me like a win for the terrorists - but I can see, people have different view.

      Reminds me of this.
