    When will the world realize this isn’t about Hamas. Hamas doesn’t govern the West Bank. This is ethnic cleaning. Racial/religious hate. Some day we will be ashamed that we gleefully cheered for this. Killing Christians and Muslims because they worship idols is wrong.

      Don’t forget about revenge!

      We don’t use that word often enough when it’s completely applicable.

        And then they’ll ask “why didn’t anybody say anything about it?”

      1. I think the numbers of people cheering it on on lemmy are an extreme minority and I think the majority of people in general (but not governments) disapprove of Netanyahu’s actions.

      2. This kind of raid is what actually makes sense compared to missiles/bombs as it looks much more targeted.

      3. Uh, you might want to reflect on that last sentence - Palestinians are being killed for political reasons to clear the way for Israeli settlements… this is a war where each side is a different religion but it’s less religious and more ethnic.
