Reminder that everyone in this conflict besides Civilians are bad people. Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Israeli government support the genocide of the Palestinian people. Everyone else are just planning to profit from this.
Every single liberation group was considered a terrorist organization. Fuck, even Antifa gets called that and they're not even an organization.
I'd be a little mad at them too if I were in their situation.
How's that the same?? Just reread them both, slowly.
God I hate feddit de so fucking much.
I do agree that conservative Islam is partially to blame for the violence and terror but so is conservative Judaism. The conservative jews think it's their God given right to take the homes of the Palestinians and rule over them. Religion is fueling the fire on both sides.
What do you think about hamas killing innocent people, children?
Which children? Did Hamas target children like Israel does, or were they unfortunately caught in cross fire while they were fighting against their genociders?
Please show me evidence where Hamas targeted civilians minding their own business, and weren't just caught in crossfire. I doubt it.
The massacre at a music festival early on would suggest Hamas isn't just a group of freedom fighters.
Hamas did not massacre a music festival or even target it. The idiots held a dance rave at the border of a concentration camp and a war zone, and they ended up caught in cross fire. Grab any half sane person on the street and they'll tell you this is a bad idea.
Aren't the governments made of and supported by civilians?
What definition of "terrorist organization" are we using here?
Israel: we literally don't consider the people of Gaza to be humans
You: sheesh, I really I can't tell the difference between these two!
*Israel Minister.
And Hamas also thinks jews are no humans, so yes, there is no difference.
So... A representative of the Israeli state? The state founded on Zionism? That's not a correction. That is Israel.
Source? Hamas has a history with anti Semitic conspiracy theories and generalizations, but not to the extent of saying Jews aren't human.
Not to mention, even said anti semitism was dropped long ago, when Hamas underwent a radical shift in membership when Israel killed off other PLO groups.
Source? Highly doubt
Not really concerned with with if they want people convert to Islam. Christians want to convert the whole world to Christianity too. Not concerning. not even close to Israel.
There are non-combatants in this conflict that are bad people. They cheer on the extermination of others. Sometimes that's Hamas or the PLO (they run a fund that gives stipends to families of terrorists). Other times it's certain Israeli Jews who encourage conflict while not risking their own necks because they can claim a religious exemption from military service. They seek an Israel without Palestinian territories, or for that matter Palestinians at all (aka ethnic cleansing).
I'm not saying that non-combatants should be targeted. At the same time, I am saying that just being a civilian does not mean someone lacks blame.
