    No matter who attacks first in any given case, the Israeli government is committing genocide on a people already put in an open air prison, killing at least double (by their own likely low estimate) the number of civilians, mostly children, as Hamas terrorists.

    And that’s not even counting the deaths they’re causing via keeping food, water, medication and medical treatment from the people.

    This isn’t Israel Vs Hamas. It’s the Israeli government perpetrating a laundry list of human rights violations on the people of Gaza using Hamas as a completely disingenuous pretext.

      So you are essentially saying Hamas can do whatever they want on the basis that they aren’t Israel.

      Yikes.

        Nope. I am categorically against terrorism under any and all circumstances.

        You can condemn the actions of both Hamas and the Israeli government. In fact, it’s morally and ethically reprehensible not to.

          Good. In the future just say something along these lines so that people aren’t getting the mistaken impression you are pro-hamas. Sadly, there are quite a few people on this site that description applies to, and believe me, you do not want to get mixed up for being one of those guys, like boomer or core.
