Treat people like animals for decades, it’s no surprise how they act. Israel is at fault for both sides deaths.
No. Humans are more than their base instincts. Hamas should not have murdered civilians. The Israeli state apparatus should not be abusing Gazans. Both are true at the same time.
It does however represent the group that killed 1000+ people, mostly civilians, with no clear goal beyond their stated desire for Jewish extinction and radical islamic Sharia law to be spread as far as possible.
Palestine in general being a victim doesn’t automatically make Hamas the good guys or their specific actions acceptable.
“It is hard to remember that people can be both victim and perpetrator at the same time.”
We try often try to assign one group as the good guys and the other as the bad guys. It doesn’t work like that.
Get yourself a lesson in History and don’t just repeat the old antisemitic bullshit story.

Are these numbers civilian or combatant’s deaths/injuries? What was the background? Who attacked, who defended itself?
You know, numbers without context are nothing more than numbers.
As I said already, get some lessons in History.
KTHXBYE
Yes, because Palestinians are toddlers and have no agency or responsibility for their actions. So patronizing.
They’re adults. They’re responsible for what they did.
There’s been an unbroken streak of violence since 1948, when the Arab states refused to allow the partition and began an offensive war. This has been followed by other military attempts by the Arabs, supported by the Palestinians, until they finally lost decisively in the 1970s. That has been followed by five decades of intermittent terrorism and organized attacks.
I get wanting to criticize Israel. Their policies have been dog shit in many areas… but intentionally attacking civilians is something which Israel doesn’t need to tolerate.
There is a prequel to this and the words Israel and Hamas are exchanged.
I’m no supporter of either and I don’t believe that killing civilians on either side will answer questions, it will only make matters worse.
As Gandhi put it … “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth … leaves a world full of blind, toothless people”
Gandhi was a total piece of shit pretending to be one of the good guys. Which I guess is pretty relevant to this conflict.
Also that quote is from Exodus.
On a long enough timeline everyone is a piece of shit. You on the other hand, are one right now.
If you think Gandhi was bad, you should look into Mother Theresa - the woman was literally a Disney cartoon villain.
I’m not convinced she wasn’t a sadist and got joy from the suffering of others.
Ghandi abused his wife regularly and ended up killing her by way of refusing to let her go to a doctor. I’ll not be accepting any of his quotes, thanks.
Gandhi on Zionism:
My sympathies are all with the Jews.
…
But my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice.
…
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home.
Edit: This was 1938, btw. 10 years before the Nakba.
No, no, it’s heroic when Isreal does it
Cause reasons
I’m not going to sit on a platform that has this low bar for dumb “memes” and world views with that high upvote number.
Yeah this meme doesn’t work for Hamas… the person being shot isn’t a child.
