The point is that neither sides are saints. You cannot just blame Palestine while letting Israel off the hook.
This is such obvious prelude to actual genocide by Israel, and you don't see any issues with that?
Did I say something different? I commented on one particular event and you are automatically assuming everything around.
That last paragraph sounds eerily familiar. Do you not see it?

You changed your statement here
In your previous comment, you wrote "they" as a whole population. Now you write "those who", the more limited segment.
But Israel doesn't just punish the perpetrators here, do they?
I'd be happy to answer, as long as we can talk also about how Israel appears to be gearing up for its own final solution to the Palestine problem.
You are entangling in your political bs and now are trying to negotiate something. If you wanna answer, do it.
That's really rich, implicitly claiming that civilians are a valid target for one side, but not the other, and that this is somehow not a political distinction. But I'm happy to state it outright: Hamas needs to be held to account, as does the government of Israel. It is not acceptable to target civilians, for anybody. It is Israel doing so now, and must be stopped.
There are no evidence any civilians were raped or are enslaved. Stop spreading disinformation.
And I guess according to your logic, countless thousands more innocents should suffer or die because of the horrible actions of a few.
Of course no evidence if you stick your head in the sand.
Enlighten me
Not my job ;)
It actually is your job if you’re trying to have a debate. You make the claim, you provide the evidence/source.
In your twisted view of the world… maybe. Otherwise, no.
My twisted view of the world? There are rules to debating whether you like it or not. It’s clear you don’t want to actually debate and just want to criticize anyone who speaks against you. Perhaps take some time to understand why you hold the beliefs you do, and why others would hold the beliefs they do. Going around spouting your opinion without being able to back up why you have that opinion with sources will not win anyone to your side. Good luck IRL dude.
so your job is to spread lies, propaganda and fake news, and support calls for genocide. Got it 👍

Where did you get your info from?
Mahmoud Abbas, president of Palestine and head of Fatah, was the one to suspend both legislative and presidential elections and not Hamas. In fact, the latter “strongly opposed the decision to call off elections” (npr.org).
Abbas' party has been working closely with the Israeli authorities. His excuse was that “Israel refused to commit to allowing Palestinians to vote in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem” (npr.org).
Some (quite convincingly) hypothesise that the suspension of the elections was aimed at preserving his presidency and salvage “his fractured Fatah party [which] was expected to suffer another embarrassing defeat to Hamas.” (apnews.com).
How can one expect the people to not fight if democracy can't be exercised freely?
It seems likely Israel will succeed in clearing the West Bank
The West Bank and the Gaza Strip are different areas. Hamas doesn't control the West Bank, so what are you on about?
Fuck you, you piece of shit, the blood of thousands of innocent souls is on your useless fascistic hands. I hope you get what you deserve, you pathetic disgrace of a human. Signed, an Israeli citizen.
Yeah, more death and misery for civilians. That will totally show the people why not to support the only ones fighting for them, even if it's a fucking terrorist group like Hamas. Just like Dehousing worked against Germany in WW2, shooting Ukrainian schools and kindergardens works in Ukraine today, and more than a dozen similiar examples in between those two totally worked...
You'd imagine that support for revolutionaries seeking self-determination would be stronger in the West given the origins of the modern American and French state.
