    It’s disgusting how many people here praise and support Hamas.

    The fact is, it’s a war of shitheads. Both sides are killing civilians willy-nilly.

    What Hamas did in Israel is inexcusable. What Israel did to Palestinians is inexcusable. In a war of religions, both sides will burn in their respective hells.

      Inexcusable? War of religions? My man, you have an entirely wrong, oversimplified view of events and takes on it. Do you understand Israel is a Western colonial project founded by the English and French a loooong time ago that has, since its conception, been nothing but murderous? It’s given the locals the easy choice of leaving or dying, so any anti-Israeli force are just resistance fighters against an ongoing occupation. I mean, for God’s sake, Israelis are nothing but a mix/groups of Eastern Europeans and Germanics, easily visible but also evidenced in their last names! Netanyahu’s actual last name before he changed it is Mileikowsky, for instance, but that’s a better sounding last name for the optics of invasion, right?

      Ask yourself this question: should they simply lower their heads and submit by leaving their homes and letting the Godless, amoral colonizer finally win it all? What about the murder and willing sacrifice of their forefathers, siblings and descendants? Would you, if your country was invaded by a group of violent savages? What’s the moral thing to do here, to be on the side of the oppressed until they vanquish the oppressors or to be on the side of the oppressor because, well, idk, they look like me and Muslims are scary? C’mon man.

          The comment you agreed with also stated all muslims are equally guilty of genocide, not just hamas. As others have stated things are complicated and comparing the actions of a colonial occupation to the actions of desperate people being actively killed off and that have no allies but extremists is dishonest or ignorant.

          Trying to portray the occupied and occupier that is currently comiting a genocide as equivalent is genocide apologia.

          Colonizers are not “civilians.” Furthermore, every adult participates in the IDF and its crimes, completely obliterating the idea they are “civilians.”
