    The only people protecting Gazans now are Hamas in the absence of the secritiy council and whatever power it has. Ironic, sad, but true.

    October 7th was wrong, but what would be even more wrong now is to abandon all those Gazans and stop fighting all those Israeli tanks shelling everyone’s home.

      If you actually gave two shits about the Palestinians you’d be calling for Hamas to surrender, release the hostages so this war can end.

      Israel won’t abandon their hostages which is obviously why Hamas took them to force this war.

      No point arguing with a propagandist like yourself though…have you noticed that public opinion is shifting against Hamas? Better get even more hysterical mate! 😂

        Israel doesn’t care about their citizens, they’re carpet bombing Gaza and flooding tunnels they know the hostages are in. They had the option to just do a hostage exchange since day one. This is some mixture of annexation and Netanyahu trying to hold on to power.

          In what universe do you live? Hamas pulled out of the continuing the hostage exchange. Israel wanted women returned but Hamas wouldn’t agree…let’s be honest it’s because all the rape and torture would make their propaganda war tricky

            Hamas’s cited reason was that Israel was demanding female soldiers, while the terms of the “pause” dictated the exchange of civilians. It seemed like Israel simply wanted an excuse to continue bombing.

            let’s be honest it’s because all the rape and torture would make their propaganda war tricky

            Let’s be honest about this having no substantiation at present and being based on Israeli and U.S. State Dept propaganda. Honestly it’s disgusting how quickly people will resort to insinuations like this.

          Hamas cares even less for the lives of Gaza civilians. They cowardly hide in their tunnels, take humanitarian supplies by force from the population and shoot at Gazans when they try to escape from their human shield purpose.

          All of these crimes have been documented and you can find them online. Hamas is a dictatorship jihadistic organization who controls the population by fear

                1. Not carpet bomb
                2. Not detaining Palestinians in undisclosed locations
                3. Not starving the population
                4. Not bombing hospitals, mosques, and the few fucking churches there.
                5. Negotiate peace with Palestinians and restore their full rights
                6. A one state solution where everyone gets to vote, as they always should have been allowed to

                What would you do “differently” since those Gazans don’t deserve to die in a crowded hospital after a failing amputation attempt because there are no meds and Israel is shelling outside?

                Btw I just want to say that 17 thousand of my “people” have already been killed by Israel since I’m Palestinian.

                  Do you agree with Hamas ? Why one state solution and not two states?

                    Hmmm seems like you pull this shit out of your ass, I’m very critical of Hamas.

                    A one state solution because it was always a single land, where all Palestinans and Jews can be equal. What part of that bothers you?

                    PS: notice how you just brushed aside the suffering of all Palestinians to come and talk about Hamas. Using Hamas as an excuse for genocide is no better than an excuse for the holocaust or for apartheid. It’s quite disgusting how easily you can just forget the deaths of many innocent people or think that October 7th somehow justifies a second Nakba and a second holocaust.

                    This seems to be a typical Hasbara account (the Israeli equivalent to Putin trolls).

                    They keep saying Gaza is not an open air prison. But would they agree to live there for a year like an average civilian?

                    Would they support the right of Palestine to exist? Would they support the Palestinian right to self determination as people? Do they think Palestinians should have the right to live in their homes?

                    The answer to all of these questions would be a lot of Blabla leading to an eventual no for an answer. Therefore it makes little sense to interact with these accounts, except for the purpose of calling out their BS

            damn, you really believe that, don’t you?like the massive supply bunkers below the hospital?, the hospital that they had laid siege to for days before storming it, meaning that Hamas should have not been able to get anything out, and the greatest horror was a few guns, a diaper, and a bomb shelter that Israel put in when they built the building, full of jack shit.

              Every Palestinian in Gaza knows they are using hospitals, mosques, schools to conduct their military operation from there. Have you seen them wearing uniforms in their videos?

              This is no secret, it’s playbook assymetric warfare tactic I honestly don’t understand the denial about it. Do you expect them to have some military base with a helicopter landing so Israel can bomb it in a second?

                The justification of Israel to bomb hospitals always shows the building its self full of tunnels and storing red exploding barrels. because anything less than that is a war crime…

                  They most definitely have uniforms, they just don’t use them when fighting Israel as they are embedded inside civilians. And they most definitely hide and attack from schools, mosques and hospitals.

                    the closest thing Hamas has to a uniform is something black and MAYBE a headband that sometimes is green.

                    turns out the Goth club in town is actually a uniformed Hamas HQ.

                    but in all reality, there hasn’t been a single insurgency in history that has had a uniform, and there never will be.

      October 7th was wrong

      Correction: Some individual actions taken on October 7th (with no evidence they were Hamas policy) were wrong. October 7th as a whole was resistance against a foreign occupier, which is allowed under international law.

        Wow this is a very delusional take. Hamas didn’t rampage into the “Settlements” of land that has been taken, they went deep into Israel. And I don’t think international law allows you to kill or capture civilians or children and hold them for ransom.

          They didn’t hold them for ransom. They demanded the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israel, which Israel is detaining in a way that conflicts with international law (unlawful detainment, torture, withllding food, already several prioners have died in Israeli prisons since October 7th, but the correct word is that they were murdered/assassinated by Israel.

          International law generally makes exceptions for actions that have military purpose. Israel created a status quo where one of the few things Hamas can do that actually make the lives of Palestinians better is take hostages, so from my understanding it’d be allowed by international law.

          When the atrocity in question was ordered or encouraged by the leadership. The point the blame passes from the individual to the institution is when the institution gets involved in the atrocity. So if Hamas had said “kill civilians” or “rape women” we’d have to blame Hamas for that, but as long as it’s a decision an individual made on their own only the individual bears responsibility.

            so, if, for example, the head of government goes and awards medals to people shooting children you would assume that the government supports that, right?

                It’s funny because literally the IDF gets pizza coupons for killing Palestinians. That’s how trivial Palestinian life is to the IDF.

          What’s the standard for this in the U.S.? It reaches only as far up the ladder as anyone can definitively prove. Abu Gharib saw like, what, a lieutenant fired or something. But when it’s “the enemy”, all of a sudden we assume by default the decision came from the highest levels, and it’s carte blanche to wipe out 2.5 million people living in a giant concentration camp, in a supposed attempt to do regime change.

            I mean, let’s be honest, this looks like a serious genocide attempt, and Bibi has been saying genocidal things every few days.

                Hmmm. Are you replying to the right comment?

                What I’m saying is that Bibi and his cabinet made lots of genocidal claims to fully support intent of genocide, and tery are the ones pushing their army to do this.

                It’s because they said that we have to assume it comes from above… Well with Bibi we don’t have to assume, he already told us he’s Hitler.

                  No no. They’re talking about Hamas in the “comes from above” thing. When it’s the US crimes go only as high up the ladder as provable, but when it’s “the enemy” (aka Hamas) individual crimes are used as excuses to wipe out 2.5 million people, is what dx1 is saying. They’re pointing out the hypocrisy.

                    Yeah buddy I get it, I have eyes, I read their comment. My response to them meant “lol well isn’t that funny since Bibi is the genocidal one here, saying the quiet part out loud on television”.
