      Was about to say. It should be ‘Committing war crimes’ and ‘Also a victim’ lol.

      Having 1,200 of your countrymen slaughtered through terrorist violence makes you a victim. It doesn’t give carte blanche to annihilate everything in your path for vengeance though.

        I’m admittedly not well-versed in international affairs, but hasn’t Israel been waiting for an opportunity to do exactly what they’re doing for decades? We’ve armed them to the tooth, and that has always been at least a little concerning because we understood this to be their disposition. I fully expected some light genocide after hearing about the Hamas attack. It’s looking like they might exceed expectations too. I’m a little shocked at our indifference.

          What Isreal has been doing to the palistinians for several decades :

          • Ethnic cleansing.
          • Stealing their land and demolishing their houses to put fucking settlers.
          • HATE CRIMES
          • a genocide every few years
          • bombing civilians targeting civilians, schools and hospitals

          I bet the freaking party was on fucking stolen land too.

          Freedom to palestine.

              Hamas are fighting for their freedom. They’re killing/kidnapping civilians because Isreal has been doing it for decades and been cheered for it. Massacre can go both ways.

                Your argumentation is pretty shortened. Its the same argument if somebody say, Israel is fighting for its freedom after anti semitic movements and nazism in central and eastern europe.

                There are no rights, when it comes to harming innocent civilians.

                Edit: On both sides of course, same.goes for the army of Israel and not helping civilians.

                  Isreal is killing civilians deliberately to punish them for their fight freedom. Colonizers in the past used this tactic with every country they colonized. The colonizer must not feel safe in the land he’s stealing. The colonizer need to fucking leave.

                  Earth is dying, ressources depleting and temperature are rising. Do you expect a bright future ahead ? By 2050, the Middle East will have unbearable heat waves and it will be getting worse from there. It’s there now , yes, but doubt it’ll be there in the next century. Most humanity either, but that’s a bonus.

              That’s not as bad as 17years of starvation and oppression.

              Ukraine is very organized compared to Hamas; they have an actual government that’s allowed to function and can instruct it’s troops.

              If Russia was surrounding Ukraine while the US wasn’t giving aid to them, the Ukrainian government would either not exist, or become a “terrorist group” that’s divided into a dozen militants that are barely organized. An attack formed by this group would be devastating to Russian civilians, because even if the head of this organization intends on not hurting civilians, will the militant groups that are mostly comprised of radicalized Ukrainians looking for revenge care?

              Thats something completely different. If Ukraine did or does war crimes, they should be condemned.

              Ukraine should start committing war crimes, maybe that would get them more US support.

                  Oh, so if you are fighting a bigger country and don’t have allies, just die. Very smart move.

                  If the purpose of the comment is to show that the occupation is being merciful by not wiping out Palestine, then you might be ignoring that they’re doing just that.

                  Just look at how much space settlements are taking up in the West bank. They’re just doing it more slowly because they’ll have useful agents like you to defend them after Palestinians inevitably resort to violence.

                  The US wouldn’t even condemn the building of these settlements, even though their condemnation would do absolutely nothing.

                  Yea lets commit war crimes, who doesn’t want to live in such a world.

        A terrorist attack that targeted civilians exclusively and subsequently slowly killing hostages while using them for propaganda videos and shooting at fleeing Palestinians is not “fighting for freedom”.

      Hamas doesn’t even claim to represent all of Palestine. They represent the Gaza strip which they governed legitimately after a free and fair election. They would indeed probably win in the west bank too if the collaboration government there held elections, but the Axis of Resistance is a broad coalition of groups opposing the illegal “Israeli” occupation of their land and ethnic cleansing of their people, and includes all sorts of colorful groups like the Marxist PFLP and general-nationalist Lion’s Den, as well as foreign groups like Hezbollah.

      It’s just that braindead western propaganda only talks about Hamas because they’re the scariest to white people. They’re “like ISIS” as the vile Zionist pundits are quick to remind you every time they come up in the news (simply a ridiculous, childish comparison). Calling it the “Hamas-Israel war” is intentional to obscure the fact that it is the Zionist entity that is waging a war against the entire population of Palestine, and has been doing so for decades.

            What’s the point of voting when you could have your entire family obliterated at any instant ? Women in palestine have said that their only wish when their children dies in a strike is to find their bodies intact and not pieces by pieces. Just remembering these words is making me sick and They’re living it. Fuck Isreal and anyone that defend it.

      I think you are overestimating the value of special forces. We kind of mythologize them with our media, but they are not action heroes. You arnt going to send them into a hostile city where Hamas is not in uniform, planned for the retaliation, had time to prepare, and expect them to come out with low casualties.

      For example of what this looks like with the US, refer to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)

      Even the US after 9-11 didn’t just send in spec ops after Osama, they went in whole hog. And that was estimated at about 4.5 million casualties all around.

      It sucks, but Hamas isn’t going to start wearing uniforms and abiding by the Geneva convention any time soon.

      The 1000+ Palestinian kids being killed daily by Israeli forces are victims of this “beef” stretching back thousands of years, which is messed up and unfair (stating it mildly). I think that’s what most people are pointing out, that and Israel bombing hospitals.
