Sowing confusion to deflect blame is Tel Aviv’s usual propaganda strategy.

    Are you trying to suggest that Hamas were some how justified in intentionally killing innocent civilians?

    Not having an answer doesn’t mean you can’t condemn both sides in this.

      I can’t speak for the person you were responding to… but yes - Hamas (and every other organisation Palestinians choose to support) has every goddamn right to fight Israel in whatever way that works. And no… I am in no way suggesting that - I’m stating it outright.

        You’re entitled to your opinion. I do wonder if it would change if it was your mum or brother or some other loved one that gets killed while minding their own business but whatever. In your mind, Hamas would be justified for it.

          I am perfectly capable of understanding the point of view of a person who has had their entire family and/or community murdered, imprisoned or forced to flee - but having that happen to one over and over again for almost 80 years while privileged scum runs interference for the perpetrators because it’s simply more convenient to swallow the well-funded propaganda… that stretches the limits of even my imagination.

      It actually does, because it means you’re just playing pretend instead of grappling with the world as it actually exists.

      So shut up 😘
