    What you mean back on the menu?

    Pretty much genocide is what Israelis were doing the entire time. Now it’s gonna be under the guise of a war. I feel bad for Palestinian civilians.

      Setting up settlements on the westbank would be something you could consider genocide. Yet, especially Isreal probably knows a thing or two about genocide, considering both their ancient and recent history.

      Their rough history and neighborhood does in no way justify the things they are doing but it very well explains them. No idea what Palestine was thinking though. Things are going to be ugly for them, like Sodom and Gomorrah getting doused in flames levels of ugly…

        Hamas != Palestinians

        I think it’s very important to make that distinction.

        Hamas wasn’t thinking. Their shitty extremist ideology makes them believe that blowing themselves up will secure a place in heaven with Allah. They are delusional fanatics.

          So Israel != IDF? I mean you’re right but I thought sticking to one frame of reference (country) might be best when the thread was about them.

            More like Israel != All Jews. Government obviously supports and orders the IDF around so they are as guilty as they are.

              Yeah but then you’d be looking at the Israeli government - more specifically the government of Netanjahu - not Israel. The people are pretty divided about the settlement stuff and the IDF had a hard time getting new people into their ranks recently.

                You understand the fact that Hamas also suppresses and silences any opposition in Gaza, right? It’s like saying most average Russians support the war because the statistics say so.

                Providing such statistics as you have without this context is lying.

                Not to mention, Hamas has not been voted in since 2014. In the votes that were supposed to happen, Hamas looked to lose, so they decided not to hold the vote at all.
