Hamas is present all over the West Bank:

A Hamas spokesman is among more than 60 members of the militant organization detained by Israel in overnight raids across the West Bank the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory that is increasingly feeling the impact of the fighting in Gaza.

Sheikh Jarrah was a Jewish neighborhood purchased in the 19th century and then ethnically cleansed of its inhabitants by the Jordanian army.

Try again.

Newsflash: a group of Jews being murdered for 100 years tries everything possible to not be murdered anymore.

This comparison is moronic: 20 times more Germans died during World War II than British people.

It doesn’t make them the victims.

Perhaps if Palestinian armed groups didn’t incessantly use their population as human shields and practice widespread use or child soldiers then their numbers wouldn’t be so high

🤷‍♂️

The British lost 300,000 soldiers and civilians in World War II. The Germans lost 6 million.

Perhaps the Germans were the real victims?

Discuss

Nope.

You don’t get to justify the murder and rape of 1,000 Israelis who were also not their government and then try to do the opposite with Gaza.

Not to mention the fact that Hamas enjoys way more support from Palestinians than the current government of Israel gets from its citizens.

Palestinians by and large support terrorism against Jewish civilians.

Why do you think there were celebrations in the West Bank when they found out about the rape and murder and immolation of Israeli women and children?

It’s 100% fair. The kind of asymmetrical warfare that Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups practice is perfectly capable of causing enormous destruction to innocent people. Just ask the thousands of Israelis murdered in the 172 suicide bombings Palestinians have unleashed on them since 1989.

Plus this is an asinine argument anyway.

You’re not obligated to match capabilities with your enemy. If someone tries to stab me and I have a gun I’m not gonna throw away my gun and pick up a knife for “proportionality”.

And the angry extremists I quoted are the leaders of Gaza and 2 million Palestinians.

Why is the bar so low for them?

There’s no equivalency between Israel and murderous raping child burning terrorists.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Did Ukrainian spend the last 100 years murdering Russian civilians? Did Ukrainian groups attack Russian civilians in cafes and buses? Did Ukrainian groups attack schools and murder Russian children? Did Ukrainian groups snipe Russian babies?

Did a Ukrainian militia rampage through a Russian town raping Russian women on top of the bodies of their murdered friends, tie children and parents together and the burn them alive while live-streaming it?

No?

Then the two situations aren’t remotely the same.

Hamas and their western supporters do it all the time.

What exactly do you think “from the river to the sea” is referring to?

Hamas leaders call for massacres of Jews literally daily.

But I forgot that crimes in the Middle East are only crimes with Jews do it.

When Arabs do it it’s “resistance”

Western progressives have no problem supporting a murderous terrorist group that burned children on a livestream.

Why is that not as chilling ?

How much accuracy in the hundreds of rockets Hamas has fires into civilian areas in the last 2 weeks?

Jews are the indigenous people of Palestine. There were Jews speaking Hebrew in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron one thousands years before the Arab invasion and colonization of their ancestral land.

Follow me for more basic historical facts

Sweet. You can find a bunch of angry extremists saying provocative bullshit.

Now let’s do the Palestinians:

”Whoever is killed by a Jew receives the reward of two martyrs, because the very thing that the Jews did to the prophets was done to him.

”The Jews are the most despicable and contemptible nation to crawl upon the face of the Earth, because they have displayed hostility to Allah.

”Allah will kill the Jews in the hell of the world to come, just like they killed the believers in the hell of this world.

”The Jews kill anyone who believes in Allah. They do not want to see any peace whatsoever on Earth."

Sermon delivered by 'Atallah Abu Al-Subh, former Hamas minister of culture, which aired on Al-Agsa TV, April 8, 2011

”the Jewish faith does not wish for peace nor stability, since it is a faith that is based on murder: 'I kill, therefore I am… Israel is based only on blood and murder in order to exist, and it will disappear, with Allah’s will, through blood and Shahids [martyrs]."

Dr. Yusuf Al-Sharafi, Hamas representative, April 12, 2007;

The economic crisis is the result of “bad administrative and financial management and a bad banking system put into place and controlled by the Jewish lobby.”

The Jewish lobby controls the U.S. elections and defines the foreign policy of any new administration in a manner that allows it to retain control of the American government and economv."

Hamas Spokesman Fawzi Barhum, October 7, 2008;

”By God, we will not leave one Jew in Palestine. We will fight them with all the strength we have. This is our land, not the Jews…

Abdel Aziz Rantisi, Hamas leader, June 10, 2003, interview with Al-Jazeera,

”Come to jihad, come to jihad, come to martyrdom… “Those thirsty for Jihad all over the world. For the sake of Allah. For liberating the land of Palestine and Jerusalem…”

”We declared and continue to declare now, that a Jew is a Jew… [do not trust them when they say they want peace because they act only] to serve their religion and their people."

”The Jews: killed the prophets…slaughtered the innocent……imprisoned our pious… NO PEACE WITH THE MURDERERS."
