Not many other ways to make 1.1 million people really angry, on top of all else. Not everyone there is a terrorist, but they all have to pay the price for the actions of those whose are.
Oh there’ll be a much larger number of terrorists after this.
What would you do if your family was killed by a government claiming you’re inhuman just for existing and your neighbour deciding to launch a rocket at that government out of sheer frustration for their living conditions.
Honestly can’t blame them if they did. Obviously killing Israeli civilians is indefensible but they are ensuring that thousands more will grow up hating all Israelis. The same logic Israelis and Israel supporters are using to kill innocent Palestinians is what Hamas runs off of. Each group blaming the entire “other” group for everything. Exactly like netanyahu wanted all along I imagine.
I wouldn’t doubt that there’s also a fear that Israel will just annex the evacuated territory after this, to compound matters.
Actually, after Saturday, all Israelis will grow up with more confidence that Hamas’ military base (Palestine) is there to plan the murder of Israel. So no, you are wrong because you forgot that fact
A much higher number of justifications for that government to crack down even further. First you demonize the enemy, then you strike against them, and when they inevitably defend themselves, you have a justification to kill the people trying to kill yours. That playbook is millenia old and still works.
Palestine is not a regular place. It is a military base for terrorists. Downvote all you want, this is a fact you will need to understand.
The Gaza strip has over 2 million people, half of which are under 18. That is a “fact you will need to understand” before you go around defending the atrocities Israel is and will commit.
If you believe that, then you have no concept of reality and just accept whatever fantasy is told to you to make you angry.
I pity you.
I’d say a fairly high percentage of them agree with what Hamas did. That’s the Islamic world for you.
What’s Hamas mad about? Have they been the subject of unjust oppression or something? As if perhaps the collective world is saying “Well of fucking course this would happen, look at what they are forced to experience”? Are there political options to end the genocidal policies that are reasonable for the continued existence of both people? Are people forced to choose leaders that present the only solution available for the option of a life not under constant oppression like a WWII Warsaw ghetto?
Nah, that can’t be it, they must just hate the Jews or something.
If I lived in Gaza now, I probably would have started to think Hamas were right all along.
And the only reason I’m not, is because I was lucky in my birth lottery. I am here not there. I am safe, and not there in danger for my life.
It’s literally just luck.
Not everybody is so lucky.
I wish cooperation was a lot more typical in the world, instead of the egoistic and power hungry normal that it is. Doing whatever one can do to get an upper hand, instead of just trying to make the world a better place. In the long run, we all would benefit.
Hammas killed more Palestinians than Israel did. When they came to power they commited mass murder of opposing political parties within Gaza Strip. Hammas is a fanatic religious group. They took both the residents of Gaza Strip and Israel hostage.
