    A senior member of Hamas has hailed the systematic slaughter of civilians in Israel

    When asked whether this meant the complete annihilation of Israel, Hamas replied: “Yes, of course.”

    who still thinks hamas are the good guys?

      Who still thinks any state is the good guys? Hamas and Israel are both enemies of the people.

      The only way to cut through the propagandistic lies of these groups is to point out that neither truly represents the people they say they do.

        Difference is, Israel isn’t meant to represent palestinian people, Hamas is. And they are doing a great job of it, if their job is getting civilians killed.

        Edit: Just think about the massive protests against Netanyahu earlier in the year. Do those show how in tune the Israeli government and people are? No. But the very fact they could protest mostly peacefully differentiates Israel’s treatment of its population from all of its neighbours.

          The… what? I have no idea what you’re even trying to say.

          The IDF is still dropping bombs on civilians. You can invent whatever bullshit you feel like, it doesn’t make that somehow okay.

                It makes sense because it doesn’t violate Geneva conventions. If there are combatants hiding among civilians their deaths are 100% on said combatants. What do you expect Israel to do? After a terrorist attack that is equal to 17 (!) times the scope of 9/11 just to shrug it off and send more humanitarian aid to be pillaged by Hamas?

                  100%. People here scream “genocide” and “war crimes” but have no idea what these words mean. The “friends” of Palestine here make even Reddit look normal.
