    Yea like raping and killing innocent people on a festival. I would never say that its ok what Israel is doing. Its horrible.

    But comparing Hamas with Ukraine is more than stupid, especially Ukraine didn’t attack russia.

      What Isreal has been doing to the palistinians for several decades :

      • Ethnic cleansing.
      • Stealing their land and demolishing their houses to put fucking settlers.
      • HATE CRIMES
      • a genocide every few years
      • bombing civilians targeting civilians, schools and hospitals

      I bet the freaking party was on fucking stolen land too.

      Freedom to palestine.

        Sorry not playing your stupid game of who is worse and whataboutism

        Both are doing horrible things to people. We should highlight each of those. If you think one action justify the other, you will get in a vicious circle And we should fight for human rights, not against each other.

          Hamas are fighting for their freedom. They’re killing/kidnapping civilians because Isreal has been doing it for decades and been cheered for it. Massacre can go both ways.

                That’s a very difficult question to answer but they’re doing it your way and now there’s just more massacre on both sides with seemingly no end in sight. Is it really freedom if everyone is dead?

                  Have you ever read about any colonized country ? The colonizers commited the most heinous acts to the natives and when they inevitably insurge they’d massacre them. These countries are free because they fought until they become free. Death is inevitable until freedom is gained.

                    I see your point but there’s gotta be a better example. The natives didn’t have any allies that could stand up to the colonizers or even a way to ask for outside help. Today, we have the internet.

                    I’m just spitballing here in my privileged American home, but if Hamas was vocal about not stooping to Israel’s civilian-killing level, and did major damage to a political building without harming anyone, that could have given Palestinians more sympathy on the world stage. Even if it’s the thing that “must be done for survival”, it’s really hard to be on the side of innocent killing. I personally can’t be on either side of this conflict, and many feel the same.

            Your argumentation is pretty shortened. Its the same argument if somebody say, Israel is fighting for its freedom after anti semitic movements and nazism in central and eastern europe.

            There are no rights, when it comes to harming innocent civilians.

            Edit: On both sides of course, same.goes for the army of Israel and not helping civilians.

              Isreal is killing civilians deliberately to punish them for their fight freedom. Colonizers in the past used this tactic with every country they colonized. The colonizer must not feel safe in the land he’s stealing. The colonizer need to fucking leave.

            Better start another war to remove them. That’ll work. Even if that were true it ignores the reality it’s there now.

              Earth is dying, ressources depleting and temperature are rising. Do you expect a bright future ahead ? By 2050, the Middle East will have unbearable heat waves and it will be getting worse from there. It’s there now , yes, but doubt it’ll be there in the next century. Most humanity either, but that’s a bonus.

          Defending what? Is it their land they’re defending? Last time I checked Russia was claiming that the land belonged either to them or to an independent state. That would be attacking.

        you mean attacking military infrastructure after one year+ of shelling? Thats something completely different.

        If Ukraine did or does war crimes, they should be condemned.

          That’s not as bad as 17years of starvation and oppression.

          Ukraine is very organized compared to Hamas; they have an actual government that’s allowed to function and can instruct it’s troops.

          If Russia was surrounding Ukraine while the US wasn’t giving aid to them, the Ukrainian government would either not exist, or become a “terrorist group” that’s divided into a dozen militants that are barely organized. An attack formed by this group would be devastating to Russian civilians, because even if the head of this organization intends on not hurting civilians, will the militant groups that are mostly comprised of radicalized Ukrainians looking for revenge care?

          Thats something completely different. If Ukraine did or does war crimes, they should be condemned.

          Ukraine should start committing war crimes, maybe that would get them more US support.

            Or they would get completely wiped out. Like look at the occupied territory of Ukraine.

            Yea lets commit war crimes, who doesn’t want to live in such a world.

              Oh, so if you are fighting a bigger country and don’t have allies, just die. Very smart move.

              If the purpose of the comment is to show that the occupation is being merciful by not wiping out Palestine, then you might be ignoring that they’re doing just that.

              Just look at how much space settlements are taking up in the West bank. They’re just doing it more slowly because they’ll have useful agents like you to defend them after Palestinians inevitably resort to violence.

              The US wouldn’t even condemn the building of these settlements, even though their condemnation would do absolutely nothing.

              Yea lets commit war crimes, who doesn’t want to live in such a world.

              We’re already here.

          … this is a joke right? Israel has been attacking Palestine for 75 fucking years. So it’s OK if it’s one year, but not 75?
