    This is a tragedy, but similar to the invasion of Ukraine with Isreal being Russia.

      Wow, no one is going to mention what Israel is doing to these people? I don’t agree with terrorists, but the replies should be more nuanced than ‘bad Palestines’.

      In my eyes, as an outsider following the news, Israel has pushed Palestinians to the brink by killing Palestine civilians, seizing more of their land AGAIN and having a dictator for a president that just changed the constitution…

      If you take people’s land, your military kills children, films and laughs about it, push them into poverty, and then come for their homes… Sometimes this is the only way to say ‘enough’.

        Come live in israel and see how is it for us. And I’m saying this as a left wing pro human rights anti settlement opposer of the current fascist government

          I’m glad you oppose you fascist government. Sadly, like it is here in America, a lot of the citizens support the fascism. If you see interviews with Israelis, they often talk like Palestinians aren’t even human. It’s so saddening.

      There appears to be some confusion. Before anyone decides to post a viewpoint based upon a timeslot of their choosing, please search for yourselves when Israel was created and its boundaries. Then track the boundaries every 10 years and see where they are today. Then ask yourselves what you would do if you were pressed so far.

      Hamas’s missiles directed towards Israeli civilians and you choose to compare Israel to Russia. Your propoganda is showing…

        Do you consider Hamas the aggressor in the overall context of the Israel- Palestinian conflict?

            Is it amoral? Yes, for sure 100%. But as a global community, we barely punish those who engage in this kind of tactic, and when we do, it’s for some kind of political theater. More Palestinian civilians will die in this conflict by a factor, if you’re going to criticize Hamas for this, I’d like to see the same standard applied to IDF.

              I’m not saying either side is innocent, but you cannot compare this to the invasion of Ukraine since Ukraine does not deliberately target Russian civilians.

                Wow. I apologize for the confusion. I absolutely do not believe these two situations are comparable. My bad.

        Even if Hamas is wrong (and they are wrong to attack civilians), the comparison between Russia and Israel in terms of being an occupying power is still a totally valid comparison. I think this is what your point is missing.
