yeah, I have seen too many videos, made by, and probably posted by, IDF killers themselves where they commit horrible crimes, and nothing is done about it. Like a group walking down a street, nothing is happening, very few people there, and an IDF just shoots a child sitting on a porch. Saw a video, from what looked like security cameras, of a small scuffle that left people injured, when the ambulance showed up, surprise! It's the IDF, and they started shooting at everyone. This is just two things. I do not deny Hamas commit war crimes, however, this is no defense of what the IDF is doing.

Two wrongs does not make one right.

If Hamas wants to fight the IDF without the involvement of Hosptials, Schools, and old peoples homes it is free to fight in the open battlefield, it had plenty of support from Iran, plenty of weapons, plenty of Islamic Jihadi's who WANT to die for Islam, it was more than capable of doing this but instead it chose to invade and quickly slaughter as many innocent civilians as it could as quickly as it could

On top of this Hamas was voted in by Palestinians knowing full well what they wanted to do AND had popular support well up until only a few months ago

Understanding Hamas’s Genocidal Ideology

A close read of Hamas’s founding documents clearly shows its intentions.

You can turn around and cry when you're losing all you want but reality speaks for itself, Palestine wasn't innocent here, if Ukraine had been busy shooting rockets into Russia, had been kidnapping Russians and stabbing them to death, had co-ordinated with terrorist states like Iran to antagonise the shit out of Russia support for them would be 50/50 at best

You're free to walk down the street in outrage at the Taliban's treatment of Afghani women or the massacres on the Tutisi's or the massacres across the Sahel or the treatment of Russians who don't want to join the army, just don't expect many people to be there

The citizens of Palestine got what they voted for and so did the Israeli's

I hate that 2/3 of my fellow citizens support this, either directly or or tacitly by choosing not to vote.
