        At this moment you get the impression Israel pushed specificity so Hamas would attack, giving them casus belli to wipe Gaza out. You’re expecting Israel to claim they found WMD in Gaza any moment now.

          Personally, I feel someone paid Hamas a lot of money to do this, tricking them into thinking they would have support after the attack. Then remove support, let Israel commit genocide with Bidens approval, give ammo to Trump and republicans for 2024.

          Any Democrat or GOP president would have done this because the US likes that grasp on the middle east. If Israel were to come out from under their thumb they’d lose political control.

          This is a super conspiracy of course, but I wouldn’t put it beyond someone like Putin or Xi

      Israel, and it’s supporters, will say that Hamas was hiding in the abulences. all of the literal children were all terriosts and that being bombed is proof enough they were Hamas. I mean… WHY ELSE DIDN’T THEY MOVE LIKE WE TOLD THEM TOO?!?

      It’s disgusting BS.

      They don’t see them as non-combatants. At this point they are just categorizing anyone simply being in Gaza as part of Hamas.

      I’m sure Hamas was only targeting military targets /s

      It’s a shit show over there and there are no good sides to pick. It’s a holy war fueled by greedy resource hungry companies and countries.

      The solution is NO ONE gets Jerusalem, and it becomes its own nation governed by the UN where no guns are allowed and you can’t talk about religion. I’m sure they’ll go for that hahah.

        Hamas are scum but Israel don’t present themselves as the moral equivalent of terrorists. So making the equivalence here doesn’t help out that much, IMO.

        Israel is ten years older on average. Israel has material superiority.

        They are responsible in a way the Palestinians just cannot be.

            The average Israeli is ten years older than the average Gazan.

            Most Gazans are children, and Israel’s population as a whole are older. They should know better.

            This conflict is the nation state version of child-murder and child-abuse. Even if the “child” (Gaza) lashes out, even if they do unforgivable things, there is still one clearly traceable source of the evil.

            Israel- The literal and figurative adult in the situation. Instead, Israel has laughed, danced, clapped, celebrated, and cheered for this opportunity they have so long sought. Yes, sure, it’s not every Israeli, but that is just as true of the relationship between Gaza and Hamas.

            So now in this reality, where Israel kills so disproportionally, cruel, intentionally, with such malice. We call them monsters.
