If she (Gaza) didn't struggle and scream he (Israel) wouldn't hit her as hard.

You're essentially blaming Hamas for their own pain. That's victim blaming.

Israel deserves 100% of the blame because its the violent settler occupation.

Wow, a lot of info here. It is very strange to me to personalify groups/states as one.

Anyways, Israel's treatment of Palestinians are horrible. I can totally understand Hama's desire to fight back and struggle, however, what it bascially did was to bring the wrath to innocent bystanders. The people of Palestinians are not all Hamas and not all support of them, yet, they all suffered.

They suffer any way. A few thousand people being killed in air strikes is normal there, regardless of what Hamas does.

IDF reservist and veteran settlers aren't exactly innocent.

I'm more talking about your everyday joe and kids.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 year ago

The every day Joe's are also IDF reservists and veterans. Israel has really broad conscription.

As for the kids, settlers shouldn't be bringing children to their colonial occupation. That's more on them than the resistance fighters.
