    Same bullshit logic that helped many support the genocide of those “barbaric” Native Americans because some actually had the gall to attack the colonial invaders.

      I wonder how few will draw some of the parallels of the colonial expansion in Australia and the West in general.

      I love the types that say others should go back to where they come from ignoring their parents and grandparents were not that far removed from the boat that brought them here.

      Then they don’t want to acknowledge that these groups were probably not that thrilled at being slaughtered and their kids taken away from them to make way for their colonial ancestors.

      It’s a amazing trait to me that humans can hold such diabolically opposed ideas as the same truths for them.

        I have seen numerous examples of Israeli officials declaring genocidal intent of all Palestinians. I haven’t seen the reverse.

              Hamas regularly admits they want to eliminate Israel is why it’s satire. Y’all are so thick and stuck on one train of thought

                Israel in its current form should be eliminated. It’s an apartheid state. Until it changes by enfranchising the Palestinians that it has trapped in open air prisons (Gaza, West Bank) it has no right to carry on. I will never support an ethnostate that places the supremacy of one ethnicity over another. If we time traveled back would you say that apartheid South Africa deserved to continue as it was? Rhodesia?

                It’s funny that you are wasting time defending Israel with that kind of defense. “Hamas regularly admits” – show me where? Here? Oops, that was just some of the many documented statements from Israeli officials declaring their genocidal intent. You know, the thing that is actually happening right now considering Israel has shut off food, water, electricity, and fuel into Gaza. When Netenyahu compares Palestinians to Amalek he is telling his hardcore right wing faction a very clear message. Maybe you didn’t understand it? Or, a worse thought, maybe you understand it perfectly and pretend otherwise?

    I get what you’re going for but if you want to be realistic, the hostage taker wouldn’t be surprised/upset in the third panel. Israel is undoubtedly committing war crimes but Hamas has made it pretty clear they don’t give a shit if Palestinian civilians die.
