I certainly don't condone the actions of Hamas, but at the same time I know it's wrong to beat and abuse a dog for years and then label it as 'aggressive' and demand it be put down when it rips your hand off. The situation in the middle east is definitely not as black and white as the media likes to portray it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] cheery_coffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baconisaveg@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago What happened to Palestine over the last 80 years isn’t just or fair, but what happened last week sure as shit was not okay or reasonable. It’s not something to be encouraged or cheered on or supported, and it’s not something that they should call for here or anywhere else to make up for past injustices. That's what happens when an elastic band snaps though. We've seen it time and time again, office workers, school shooters, abused dogs, the hydraulic press YouTube channel. Over and over and over the pattern is the same. And every single fucking time, the response is always the same. "He just snapped, I have no idea why!" So no, I'm not surprised, or outraged. The world had 75 years to address the situation in Gaza and they chose to just ignore it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] zesty@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago Murdering 40 babies is not "a strong act of resistance".
