The safe position is, Israel did bad things but Hamas is bad for wanting to commit genocide/attacking random festival. I think.
why were they having a music festival next to a concentration camp?
No idea, but what I do know is that it’s not a justification for murdering them.
lol there is literally zero proof of this.
all sources are directly from the IDF.
news sites are already retracting their stories of it.
did you also believe the lie that babies were pulled out of incubators to drag us into the Iraq war?
BBC, CNN, ABC, etc aren’t retracting articles. Seems like you’re just making shit up
where is the proof?
Sorry bud, that’s cute, but you don’t get to where’s the proof me after literally making shit up. You want the proof? Try your fucking eyes. You sound like a holocaust denier.

hmmmmmm
and you sound like a TV race American that can be manipulated by the slightest bit of propaganda into supporting anything
Literally an unrelated article… you’re gonna have to do better than that bucko. Have you ever critically thought about anything in your life? Are you even capable of reading headlines? If you could you would know that article has nothing to do with the music festival massacre…
Zero proof? Except the actual videos, you mean?
I said this in another thread and I will say it again here:
I always find it odd how people blame “extremists” and the Palestinians for this.
Israel starts to steal homes, land and killing men, children and women. No one bat an eye to that.
Then extremists and hate towards Israel came and bam, they are the bad ones suddenly.
Certainly what Hamas does is entirely wrong however - People cannot expect them be silent and get killed by Israeli forces.
This is what happens from decades upon decades of oppression.
This entire conflict was created by Israel stealing land and starting a genocide mission on Palestinians.
Yes when you kill other humans intentionally you are depraved. Doesn’t matter if you are american, Israeli, Chinese, or Palestinian.
Yes you can be oppressed and wronged.
Both can be true.
But the murderous part is your own decision. It needn’t be the only one.
They attacked and defeated a huge number of military targets as well, which has been heavily downplayed in the Western News media I’ve seen.
Israel is bad for committing genocide.
Palestinians are apparently bad for not wanting to be genocided.
Hamas is a bad palestinian group.
But palastine minus hamas really holds no fault. Israel is the antagonist between the two nations.
Hamas just just a terrorist response to that. And while terrorism is always bad, israel did actively cultivate that terror group.
Huh, interesting take. I guess Israel minus the settler hardliners is as unfaulty.
Meh… Israel helped make Hamas big, way before they were known as Hamas. Back then they just were an offshoot of the egyptian Muslim Brotherhood organisation. Fatah was/is secular and Israel sought to utilize islamist organizations agaibst Fatah, who they saw as their main opponent. And it worked. There was violence between secular and islamist palestinian organisations.
But -shock horror- the islamists turned out to be a greater threat to israel than the secular fatah.
It’s a little like 9/11. I vehemently disavow and condemn the attacks. But on the other hand, you kinda made your own bed so to speak.
Palestinians have a UN recognized right to armed struggle. How do you recommend they carry that out?
Do you mean palestinians in general? Or do you specifically mean hamas?
Cause the answer is different depending.
How do you recommend that Palestinians engage in armed struggle?
Probably by fighting actual soldiers, not bombing civilians and kidnapping children.
Do you recognize the bombing of Hiroshima as a war crime?
lmaaaaooo
Yeah, that was messed up.
So, specifically palestinians in general?
I think based on what little I know of the region and the style of invasion, guerrilla tactics would likely be ideal. Finding some sort of ally on the global stage to help them argue their case against israels abundant political backing. Make the occupation as inconvenient for israels government as possible, while doing everything they can to shift the global publics opinion into sympathy for their fight.
The current engagement is largely guerilla tactics against military installations.
This is not armed struggle. The Palestinians have a right to armed struggle.
The current engagement bombed a music festival.
That is absolutely part of armed struggle. Look at ukraine, and how its usage of global opinion saved it from a 2 week slaughter fest by giving it the backing of US intelligence. Ukraine perfectly demonstrated how, if you are the underdog losing the war, being able to shift global public opinion of your situation can literally save your life.
Instead, they alienated every nation who had a civilian at that event, gave israel an excuse to declare war and openly genocide their people instead of hide it in inches, made it racially charged by immediately releasing a statement blaming zionist jews and calling for jewish extinction, and gave their political opponents across the globe free and easy ammunition to shut up any pro palestine rhetoric or talking points.
Hamas really fucked up. They gave anti palestine sentiment a free scapegoat target. They are lucky spain is taking the charge to try and distance palestine from hamas on the global stage, because its going to be even harder to shake israel of its massive global backing that it relies on in order to hold on to power.
I sympathize with palestine. Israels government is run by monsters. But this action may be the spark israel needed to burn palestine to the ground, and its very very very hard to un-bomb civilians.
Without raping and murdering civilians, to start? Fuck Israel, but that doesn’t make Hamas the good guys.
Is there a war that you think was fought justly?
Oh fuck off with that hexbear lemmygrad shit. I’m not talking about war as some nebulous concept, I’m saying raping and killing civilians is bad regardless of if you’ve been wronged or not. If that’s a controversial opinion to you, I have nothing more to discuss.
