You read it but you processed nothing. Nowhere did I say that Hamas are the good guys or that their actions are excusable.

I do not know how I can dumb this down further for you.

If that’s your takeaway, you’re either completely lacking in reading comprehension or purposely misrepresenting my argument.

The part you’re not understanding here is the obvious fact that Hamas commits horrendous acts, but that is a natural consequence to being subjected to an Apartheid regime. Isreal has the power to end that cycle of violence and chooses not to, the pressure need to be put on them. Just going “jeez both these suck” and moving on accomplishes nothing.

Have a nice day.

NEITHER is the victim

You clearly have no education on this subject. Go read about some of what the Isrealis have put the Palestinians though, and the massive power imbalance between them. I outlined some of that above, but you are being willfully ignorant.

If you want to sit on the fence and feel morally superior while atrocities continue to happen, that’s your prerogative.

Yeah bro let’s just flatten Gaza…again. And then nuke Tel Aviv. Justice.

Did you read anything I wrote lol? The Palestinians have already been being punished for decades, yet the violence continues.

I’m not siding with Hamas here. I’m pointing out an overlooked part of all this. Isreal keeps 2 million people, half of them children, in an open-air prison, bombs them constantly, murders their kids for minor transgressions and then (shocked Pikachu face) an extremist element breeds there. They then use that extremist element as propaganda for further bombings and land theft.

This is not a time to say “both sides bad” and move on. There is a cycle of violence here between two sides, but only one side here has the power to end that violence and it sure as hell isn’t the side being subjected to an Apartheid state.

Does Isreal do investigations into the mountains of children they kill? Or do they just say they’re “investigating” when something like this is clearly bad optics for them.

Isreal also undermines moderate Palestinian opposition in favour of Hamas, because they make good propaganda for them to justify their ethnic cleansing.

Isreal actively kills children and celebrates it. Go read about the Great March of Return. So many kids killed by the IDF. That’s a lot more than “collateral damage”

Also a reminder that children make up 47% of Gaza, and Isreal happily continues to bomb them, and cut off electricity and running water as collective punishment.
