    Funny you have a list of Israel’s crimes but where is the list of Hamas crimes? The fact you leave it out says you don’t care. You’re literally defending and excusing what happened to those Israeli children and others.

        Wow, that sucks. Would have been a good time for Palestinians to call attention to their plight. Instead, it seems, they let Hamas fester and grow emboldened in their attacks, until they’re invading, shooting and burning babies. You know, what you don’t want to talk about but that you want to defend. Brutalizing babies. Demanding Israel continue to live that way is not an option. Israel declared war on Hamas, not on Palestinians. If your enemy makes soldiers of their children, you destroy their soldiers. Something you don’t want to acknowledge, but the same choice we’d all make to survive. Israel cannot survive next to an enemy that unequivocally demands its destruction. You have no better solution, nor do you seem to care. The strong will do what they can, and the weak will suffer what they must. I’m sorry, but it’s war.

      You’re a fucking idiot. Do you know anything about the history of the region? I do not condone the killing of civilians, but the people of Gaza are in effectively an open air concentration camp. If you back an animal into a corner, you shouldn’t be surprised when it bites you.

      The violence of the oppressed can not be compared to the violence of the oppressor. If you punch me in the face unprovoked, that’s entirely different from me punching you back in self defense.

      The people of Israel are settlers who, by and large, have not lived their whole lives there. Benjamin netanyau grew up in Philadelphia for fuck’s sake. Those people largely chose to bring their children into a war zone. They could just as easily have left. The Palestinians who’s land is being actively stolen from them have no where else to go!

      The Israeli government has the choice to end this conflict. They could grant Palestinians equal rights, end settlement in the West Bank, provide Palestinians a right of return, and formulate a long-standing peace plan tomorrow.

      They choose to not make progress towards any of those things though. They choose to continue treating Palestinians like cattle to be caged and slaughtered. As far as I’m concerned, any fresh perpetrated by Hamas is a direct result of Israeli policy.

      Eat shit. You’re a genocide denier, plain and simple.

        And you’re pretending that because you know more about the history, that somehow excuses your position. You’re defending terrorists that shoot and burn babies. You’re defending terrorism. What an awful person you are. Israel didn’t declare war on Palestine, they declared war on Hamas. If you insist that Palestine == Hamas, then you make an argument why Palestinians should be destroyed, however, it was you who said it, not me. There can be no two-state solution, because Hamas will be there. There can be no one-state solution, because Hamas will be there. You know that. So you’re demanding that Israel go back to living with the constant threat of insurgent attacks, of rockets endlessly launched at them. What an easy thing to type on the internet from your armchair keyboard. It’s not you who has to live that way. Every pro-palestine propoganda piece I’ve heard on this thread is simultaneously a call to destroy all Jews and israel. If you insist they be destroyed, of course Israel will defend itself.

      Leave it to the guy who said all Palestinians are terrorists to also not know what “literally” means.

        Lmao When did I say that? I’ve been quite careful about who I’ve accused. If you’re thinking is so singular you can’t process any nuance, stand to the side while Israel commits its war. You don’t understand who the pieces are and how the game is played.

          I have a curse for you. Remember it well: When and how you’ll die is uncertain, but what is certain is the light of God will not be on you, within you, or around you.
