God help them. The slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining
Did you miss the wide-scale murder of Israeli civilians that immediately preceded this?
No, that wasn’t missed. Israel has willingly created the environment where these sort of uprising occur. I don’t support killing random civilians, but under the current system, it’s what’s bound to happen.
Ideologically I’d rather Hamas weren’t killing civilians but materially theres no realistic way to avoid it considering the conditions they’ve been reduced to. They do not have the privileges of high precision modern technology, and Israel has been using civilians in its war on Palestine through aggressive settling. Civilians deaths became an inevitable result of Israel’s policies.
I think it’s completely fair to take a trump style, “they knew what they signed up for” position on settlers. They chose to kick palestinians out, steal their homes, kill their children. Turn-about is fair play.
I’m not holding a professional army with access to modern Western weapons to the same bar as I am people living in a region that’s been completely blockaded for decades. Israel has better ISR, more precise munitions, and far more resources. They can do better to minimize civilian casualties.
This is something that’s lost on people. When Israel strikes Gaza, they do so knowing it’s one of the densest places on Earth and it’ll be be nigh-impossible to avoid hitting civilians.
That said, putting aside the conflict up to this point, while a gazan rocket is less precise than Israeli missiles, you don’t accidentally take Israeli civilians hostage in their own homes outside of Gaza.

Why does that mean I should view video of random civilians being held at gunpoint and loaded onto a truck as a good thing?
imagine it was your children or family that got killed or maimed by the IDF during the occupation. if the IDF killed my roommates or my dad i’d be bloodthirsty as well, at least enough to take hostages if not execute them. now imagine that kind of situation has been going on for generations with no release.
hurt civillians are never good, but in this case they are the result of the policies of the settler state. the uprising has fewer tactical and strategic options, they lack the capability to muster a well drilled and disciplined military with strict SOPs, they don’t have GPS guided smart munitions, it’s either this messy stuff or ‘lmao just let israel genocide us i guess’.
are you going to cry about the haitian slave revolt as well?
Yea, look at the wide-scale “murder” happening here, you fascists are all the same
Regardless of your opinion of Israel, I don’t think it’s right to say literal children aren’t people. You can oppose Israeli apartheid without dehumanizing people.
