I think it’s important to keep in mind that Hamas is completely capable - at any moment - of surrendering, releasing all hostages, de-militarizing, and vowing to never again attempt to kill civilians. The water and electricity would come right back on.
Doing so would save the lives of countless Palestinian civilians, and if they had any care for their lives at all, they would do this immediately.
My point was that Israel cannot offload to Hamas all responsibility for the suffering to civilians caused by blockading Gaza. It’s Israel’s choice to react like this. I understand Israel’s reasons for taking this extreme action, but Israel should take responsibility for it, not pretend it was forced into this and it has to keep starving civilians until Hamas capitulates. And of course I’m not condoning the atrocities committed by Hamas.
I must have missed the lesson in school about how the way to resist oppression is to rape and murder hundreds of innocent civilians at a festival.
It’s not as if there were a lack of military targets around. If Hamas had strictly focused on attacking military bases and infrastructure, I might be able to be sympathetic. At the least, that would fall under the umbrella of meaningful resistance. Instead, their sole aim was to murder as many Jews as possible. Kidnapping civilians and threatening to murder them on a livestream is absolutely indefensible.
The only explanation I have found, for Hamas attacking those civilians, is, that they are cowards. They are scared. If they attack military personnel, the soldiers actually fight back… raping and killing civilians is just so much more convenient for Hamas.
People here don’t seem to understand this. All they think is “Israel bad”. Also, instead of cheering for Hamas when they drag dead civilians through town, they could, you know, not do that.
I think it’s important to keep in mind that Israel is completely capable - at any moment - of surrendering, giving right of return, de-militarizing, opening all borders, creating a single government that fairly represents all in the area, giving reparations, and vowing to never again attempt to kill civilians. The water and electricity would come right back on.

I think it’s important to keep in mind that the Zionist entity is completely capable - at any moment - of surrendering, releasing all hostages, de-militarizing, and vowing to never again attempt to kill civilians.
You know as well as I do that a de-militarized Israel would very rapidly no longer exist.
If you recall, Gaza was occupied until 2005, when the IDF withdrew as a sign of goodwill towards peace. Gazans then elected Hamas and started shooting rockets at Israeli cities.
If you’re supporting a side that’s threatening to livestream the murder of hostages, you need to take a very long look in the mirror.
If you’re supporting the side indiscriminately starving millions, you need to take a very long look in the mirror. This fight is villains vs villains, and civilians are taking the brunt of the brutality from both sides.

“Look what you’re making us do.”
Ah, I forgot, Hamas simply had to rape a bunch of women and butcher 200 people at a festival. That’s just what righteous resistance looks like.
Or perhaps childish quips aren’t actually useful in a productive conversation, who knows

And allow the genocide of Palestine to continue without opposition? Why should they simply lay down and die? Because fighting back is distasteful?

They expressly condone genocide against the Jews.

Who is doing that?
Bro half this thread has a hard on for Hamas, his terrorist organization and for antisemitism, if you can’t see it I wonder why
What do you mean?

Yes
Mask off, so my job is done here.
I’ve never been trying to hide behind a mask, just like the Zionist entity has never tried to hide that it primarily targets civilians.
