Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Oh, you mean a terrorist organization doesn’t treat its own people fairly?

Hamas arent terrorist but freedom fighters

Hope that helps

Freedom fighters don't massacre civilians.

Freedom fighters don't take civilians hostage.

Freedom fighters don't parade their victims through the streets.

Freedom fighters don't rape.

Hamas are terrorists. The fact that the IDF is also guilty of those things does not change what Hamas is, and it does not justify what Hamas does.

One persons freedom fighter is anothers terrorist.

If you have an issue with something Palestine does in defense of itself, blame Israel for forcing it to desperation through decades of genocide.

If they could afford the tanks and advanced missiles that Israel throws at them I'm sure it would look more even. But since they can't... They do what they must. A kid dies? A tragedy to be sure. But blame Israel for making the situation so. And know that so many more Palestinian children were brutalized and killed.

There's a well populated category on Wikipedia for Hamas suicide bombings. It's important to remember the difference between Hamas and the Palestinian people.

If you think there's a good guy on the geopolitical stage, you've fallen for government propaganda.

And?

It's really fucked up that Israeli genocide drove them to such extreme and desperate warfare.

who were the victims of those suicide bombings? Mostly israelis, so I dont care

You are advocating for the exact same crimes being inflicted on the Palestinian people. Collective indiscriminate "punishment" is abhorrent no matter what.

[–] clot27@lemmy.zip -3 points 1 week ago

Nope. Israelis are settlers Palestinians are natives.

A slave killing his master is not a crime, so the actions of Hamas are not either
