Absolutely. Punishing the civilians they're hiding amongst us a literal war crime (collective punishment), and I refuse to support a state that's trying to ethnicly cleanse a neighboring state so they can steal land.
Also, a commander being there is a fucking weak excuse to bomb a fucking refugee camp. No matter what you think of the war, it should be unconscionable to target a camp of people who's lives you've already destroyed, but considering the end goal of Israel, I'm not surprised they'd stoop that low.
An Israeli strike targeting a Hamas commander in the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza has left catastrophic damage and killed a large number of people, according to eyewitnesses and medics in the enclave.
Israel is a terrorist state, and they're so blood thirsty for Hamas commanders that they're bombing fucking refuge camps.
And they wonder what drives support for Hamas? Jk, no they don't. Israel knowsthey support Hamas because of Israel's actions, and Israel leans into it to give them excuses to marginalize and remove Palestinians from their land one way or another.
I don't support Hamas, but supporting Israel is unconcionable, and has been for years. But with so many things these days, the authorizations are going full mask off...
They're "de-nazifying" Palestine much the same way that Russia is "de-nazifying" Ukraine (ie - murdering tons of civilians with the express purpose of ethnic cleansing and area to steal land)
You know you're on the (alt-)right side of history when you have to consider arresting people for saying true things about your murderous and oppressive regime.
Hey, you're not allowed to talk about the decades of an apartheid state's treatment of these people or the systematic destruction of their infrastructure to be stolen by illegal settlers or the fact that Israel is directly responsible for creating Hamas; all the history for this conflict started like 6 months ago!
Because they don't want it, simple as that. Why do you think they've been illegally stealing Palestinian land and bulldozing their homes for illegal settlements for decades?
It’s war, and they put themselves in this position.
Did they also put themselves in the inhumane conditions that sparked this war too? Or is decades of inhumane treatment of the Palestinian people immaterial to the situation?
Because Israel is a good part of the reason Hamas is as powerful as they are, so I guess they put themselves in this position too?
Yeah, who could ever know why Palestine harbors the group that Israel funded to delegitimize the more moderate political parties? It's not like the group Israel funded explicitly advocates for aggression against Israel in the name of freeing the Palestinians from the murderous boot of Israel and their decades long campaign of slowly exterminating the Palestinians and stealing all of their land.
This is probably just a use of different words to not sound repetitive.
Then why do they only do it in the same way, every time, and for other western powers? For example, this is from 2005:
"On the March 18 CBS Evening News, reporter Byron Pitts gave these figures: “Today, U.S. deaths number more than 1,500. There are no exact figures for Iraqi fatalities, but estimates are for every American killed, 11 Iraqis died.” In other words, more than 16,500 Iraqi deaths."
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but decades of examples are clearly a system pattern.
Also, the whole "illegally annexing land, destroying people's homes, propping up Hamas to delegitimize Palestinian political groups, and attempting to slow walk a genocide against the previous people" thing probably didn't help Israel's situation either.
Agreed, except thistle plants can go fuck themselves. I rip those out at least once a month and they keep coming back and crowding out the plants I want.
You make it sound like they are on even somewhat equal footing. Israel is illegally annexing and destroying the home land of Palestinians with massive support from the west, and is effectively untouchable. Isnt that also super important to include in this discussion?
Sure Hamas is reacting violently, but that's the only option they're provided because Israel refuses to obey international law and no one with any real power has the stones to put the screws to Israel to stop it, because going after Israel is instantly portrayed as antisemitism.
