    Palestinians are not committing a genocide. Sure Hamas have done some terrible things, but the scale of the Israeli onslaught is abhorrent.

    I support Israel giving land back that they’ve stolen and to stop murdering innocent people. I also support Palestinians being able to rebuild their country and voting out Hamas. Given the last vote was around 06 and the vast majority of Palestinians were not old enough to vote then they haven’t exactly chosen Hamas.

      Fair point, but at the same time hamas is a terrorist group, they don’t care about people’s votes and aren’t just going to leave because people don’t like them, which complicates things

        So that means it’s fair game for Israel to just kill whoever they choose? They’re never going to wipe out Hamas. In fact they’re ensuring that the next generation will join because they killed their families.

            No need to be offensive, it’s not the way to converse with people and detracts from any argument you may want to convey.

            You implied it by questioning my post about Israel committing a genocide and trying to justify it due to the actions of Hamas.

            Whatever Hamas has done in killing innocent people doesn’t justify Israel killing 10-20x the number of innocent people.

              Israel committing a genocide and trying to justify it due to the actions of Hamas

              Never justified it. In the original comment I was pointing how out hypocritical it is to support either side

              No need to be offence, it’s not the way to converse with people

              Unfortunately that’s not how reddit users (lemmy in this case) work, everyone I’ve had conversations with on this app don’t use reason or critical thinking, they jump to conclusions while never leaving their ego chamber. At this point it’s just more fun to insult you all since no matter how many facts I give yall, none of you listen anyways. And I’m not the only one who sees it either

              Its not just him either, there was many more in the comments saying the same thing, he just summerized it the best

                I hardly think it hypocritical to condemn Israel for what they’re doing.

                As for the rest of your rant about insulting people. I’m going to end the conversation here and wish you a nice weekend and perhaps you can reflect on how you speak to people online, as it says more about your mentality than it does mine.

        Hamas is also an organization that has been propped up by Israel for the explicit purpose of maintaining a justification for the slaughter of palestinians by the IDF, and to keep the Palestinian Authority out of the picture.
