Ahhh are we just gonna ignore hamas’s butchery? I’m even more not a psychopath because I oppose that as well as Israel’s. y’all messed up for leaving that out.
Gonna state the obvious: Resistance to oppression is justified.

It’s a shitty situation. I’m not sure what you do when both sides are committed to the total destruction of the other. The painful truth is someone is going to be the loser
One side is trying to destroy an apartheid state, the other is trying to destroy children. Stop equivocating the two
You are aware that if given the chance, Hamas would be the apartheid state
I am not, how come?
Hamas have a mandate to destroy Israel. They were democratically elected to do so.
Yeah didn't OP know that it's illegal to mention Israel's crimes without also mentioning Hamas in the same sentence?
It’s a paragraph, not a sentence
truly the important thing
Cool.
Which side is guilty of genocide? Which side are the invaders and settlers, and which side are the indigenous resistance?
Hamas aren’t fighting Jews in Europe or North America, they are resisting those who have stolen their lands and besieged them.
October 7 wasn’t resisting. It was butchery. And pretending it wasn’t is psychopathy. Israel’s government is very much in the wrong too
Yes, Hamas has done terrible things in the past, including the Oct 7 massacre, but that doesn't excuse Israel's extreme response.
Both sides are absolutely committed to the total genocide of the other. The difference is that Hamas has no way of carrying out that genocide, so it's only empty words at this point. OTOH, Israel is fully capable of committing total genocide against the Palestinians, and has finally decided that the time has arrived to do it.
It is impossible for me to SUPPORT one side or another, but it is imperative for me to always condemn genocide, by anyone, against anyone. There is NEVER a situation where genocide is justifiable.
This will eventually backfire against Israel in an extremely horrible way. Every Middle Eastern country wants a nuclear weapon, and a large part of our diplomatic efforts involve keeping nuclear weapons out of their hands. Eventually, someone will get one, and Israel's enthusiastic genocide will be used as justification for their use.
Thank you for an intelligible response. If we run the hypothetical of what would have happened if Israel allowed hamas to become its own country with its own military, how likely would Hamas have used that power along with help from it’s neighbours like Iran, to develop nuclear weapons or at least a strong conventional army? If there was ever a fork in the road it would be when the Palestinian people elected Hamas knowing their mandate was the total destruction of Israel. They carried out that mandate with everything they were given from Israel and the international community. They used it all to buy rockets and build tunnels for themselves for use for when Israel retaliated. The fact civilians are being killed is part of hamas’s plan to get more international support, no civilians are allowed in the tunnels. Judging by this website it appears to be working well. I really wish we could have seen what happened if Israel withdrew from the West Bank and allowed the Palestinians time to live their lives. There is absolutely blame on both sides.
