    This is so fucking disgusting.

    What Hamas did was awful, but literally killing humans like you’re shouting fish in a barrel is fucking disgusting and needs to stop.

    I have nothing against the Jewish people or community but I am wholly against the actions by Israel in how they’ve conducted this war. This should be an open and shut case where everyone involved is immediately recalled and court marshalled.

      I agree with your sentiment but this isn’t a war. Gazans are prisoners with no access to the outside world, I won’t condemn any of them for trying to fight their oppressors. No context needed for the “start” of the conflict, Israel have been genociders for 70+ years.

      What Hamas did was awful, but

      It’s been almost two years and hundreds of thousands dead, do we really still need to preface condemnation of this holocaust with these disclaimers.

      And this isn’t a war, it’s an extermination campaign. They’re no more going to ‘recall and court marshal’ them than the Nazi’s would court marshal Einsatzgruppen members for shooting Jews.

        Sadly yes you do

        Some people are really trying to make any criticism of Israel a criticism of all jews or calling it hate, and that take is not the case.
