    Military targets are morally different than civilian targets with or without collateral damage. Hamas are not the heroes.

      Hamas knew what was coming when they launched their senseless terror. The blood of civilians on the Gaza Strip is on their hands.

      Likewise, Netanyahu and his far right government has been provoking this intentionally. He has the blood of Israeli citizen on his. They did not expect an attack to be this successful, but I guaran-fucking-tee you they were waiting for and intentionally provoking an opportunity to strike back.

      Both of them intentionally kill civilians. Both can get fucked.

      If you’re looking for heroes, start with the people working for UN schools at the Gaza Strip.

          If you think Hamas does anything but to promote Israels extinctionist agenda by targeting civilians, you are tragically wrong.

          It’s not that one cannot understand that people in Gaza get desperate and start supporting Hamas - it’s equally easy to understand how people in Israel become terrified and support Netanyahu and his allies. It’s a death spiral.

          Sympathize with the people, not their terrorist leaders. At least the people of Israel got to stupidly elect their leaders only a year ago - the people in Gaza had no such luxury. You can understand where the desperation comes from while also appreciating that it does nothing good to anyone, least of all the civilians in the Gaza Strip currently thirsting under rocket fire and a cloud of white phosphor. The only one it helped in the end are the Israeli far right who want an excuse to “complete the borders” of Israel.

          What the fuck is wrong with you? Israel slaughters Palestinian civilians on any given day, so Hamas slaughtering civilians on any given day is a-okay?

          This isn’t mounting a resistance. It’s shooting up a daycare because you were bullied in school. And now the daycare is carpet bombing the school in retaliation.

          IT’S ALL FUCKED UP

      That would fly if Israel a) hadn’t been targeting civilians for 40 years and b) didn’t respond by targeting civilians.

      You really need to shut your fucking mouth when you clearly have no fucking clue what happened literally this week.
