    So what are saying is that because the allies bombed Dresden, the Germans were actually defending themselves against the Jews?

    And you say that you agree with the Nazi’s committing the Holocaust?

    Wtf is wrong with you dude

        I didn’t vote for Trump, but I should be killed because he got into power anyways? That’s fucked up, especially since Hamas was financially supported by israel

        Hamas hasn’t held an election since 2006. In that election, 45% of the population voted for Hamas, 42% voted for the Fatah, and the remaining 13% voted for smaller parties. Half of Gaza is under 18 and 65% percent of the population is younger than the 25 years old.

        So what you’re saying is that Gazans should expect to be murdered because, in an election held when the majority of them were too young to vote and half of them weren’t even alive, a minority of people voted for extremists. Great point dude.

          It’s not like public opinion has changed much in palestine, check the other comments for sources.

          But ultimately I believe that people are responsible for their government. If you are born in gaza, realize that Hamas is shit but don’t try to bring change through protests or organizing opposition and also don’t leave but stay, go on with your live and pay your taxes to Hamas etc. then you’re part of the problem. Otherwise what is left? Hamas being untouchable due to the people acting as human shields? In my book that’s way worse.

            Totally dude, totally. If I were a child growing up in Gaza, and I lived in poverty, with poor access to food and medicine because of Israeli blockades, while thousands of my countrymen where killed or displaced by Israeli air raids or gunned down by the IDF for protesting…well, obviously I would want to overthrow Hamas. I would definitely hate the group fighting the country makes my life hell, and I would definitely try get Hamas out of power.

            Like you said, people are responsible for their government, and the people of Gaza (who are, again, HALF CHILDREN) are responsible for removing these extremists from power, even though they don’t hold elections. Another great take dude.

              You mean the blockades where Israel supplies Gaza with water and electricity? And you think after what happened Israel should just accept Hamas at their border and wait it out for the next attack?

              Sucks for the kids but it’s also pretty bad for the Israeli children that are still in captivity btw. Should Israel just give up on them?

                Holy shit the Israeli propaganda is strong.

                After more than a month of the Israeli government’s unlawful blockade of Gaza, which has included catastrophic cuts to water, fuel, and electricity, as well as very limited deliveries of food, water, and medical supplies, the lack of clean water is resulting in “grave concerns” by public health experts of an imminent infectious disease outbreak in Gaza, including waterborne illnesses like cholera and typhoid.

                Israel is genociding Palestinians. This is not some controversial take. It’s the stance of the UN and the majority of the international community, supported by mountains of evidence.

                Yet still pigs like you dare write garbage comments like that

                A) No, I mean the blockades that have been going on since 2007. They limit necessary supplies to Gaza and are the reason it has been called an, “open-air prison.” B) Israel is the occupying force in Gaza and therefore has a legal obligation to supply Gaza with water and power under the Oslo Accords. C) Israel has been failing in that obligation, because for years 97% of the drinking water has been below the minimum safety standards for human consumption.

                Anyway, again, really great points, really showing your knowledge of the conflict here.

                  I mean there are also legal frameworks in place that prohibit kidnapping your neighbours kids and shooting up their music festivals. Somehow Hamas gets to break this but Israel is still bound to Oslo accords?

                    Great question! There are two possible answers: 1. Israel is a democratic nation that respects human rights, in which case it needs to behave in accordance with international law or 2. Israel is, like Hamas, a nation of extremists using violence against civilians to achieve its political goals, in which case it needs to be treated like any rogue nation. So, since you invited the comparison, you tell me; does Israel need to hold itself to a higher ethical code than Hamas, or are they the same as them?

              So the palestinians are being victimized both by Hamas and Israel and they have no control of their live whatsoever? If this is your take then why do they choose to stay and why do they choose to bring kids into an environment like this?

                No, my stance is that Isn’treal is comitting a gennocide aganst palistine. Hamas is not victimising anyone here, they are in effect one of the organizations the opressed are using to fight back.

                As for why they “chose to stay” where do they have to go, for the VAST majority not only is palistine the only place they have citizenship to, its also their home, and most people do not take kindly to an invador trying to take it, or to wipe you and your culture out.

                As for why have children, because 1) why aid the genocide and 2) they are still humans doing human things, they still want families, they still have hope for a future, when things get bad we dont just stop having offspring.

                  Bullshit, the invader didn’t exactly come unprovoked did it? People couldve stayed inside Gaza and live peacefully but no that’s not enough somehow. They somehow have to constantly attack their neighbour and then cry foul when they loose. When they could’ve just as well directed this energy into improving Gaza and making it more liveable. And of course Hamas is merely fighting oppression, after all parading naked bodies of girls that they raped to death is just what freedom fighters do right?

                    Except they could not, Isn’treal kept encroching with their illegal settlements, also look up the Nakba, they where the ones who drew first blood, not the Palistinians. When you are being activly opressed, you do not lie down and make your getto more livable you fight the opression

                    also there is no evidence of Hamas raping anyone… let alone parading it arround, you know who has reports of raping women though, that is right Isn’treal. so maybe stop speaking out of your god damn ass, and stop suporting the genocider. Opressed people have a moral right to fight back aganst their opressor.
