    Or I could ask why they were being financed by Israel. Could I ask that too, couldn’t I?

      Thanks for being brave enough to focus on important questions like who funds Hamas.

      Too many people are getting distracted by silly things like humanitarian crises but you’re out here fighting the real fight!

        … You mean the humanitarian crisis that Israel explicitly and intentionally created, has purpetuates for decades, and refuses to do anything about?

        Oh yeah, Israeli governments sending tons of cash to Hamas is totally unrelated. That’s why you’d prefer to not talking about it. Not because it breaks the narrative of the poor innocent israel. Right?

          Love how you pro-hamas guys will do anything, anything except something that will help the Palestinians.

            Who is pro-hamas? Hamas never got my money, Israeli money on the other hand… yeah, of that money they’ve got a lot. But do not let facts disturb your ideology ok?

              My ideology is that suffering should be minimised. I’d hope we could agree on that.

              At this point be honest - is dragging this war out going to minimise suffering or maximise it?

                My ideology is that suffering should be minimised.

                Is that why you side with the perpetuators of the suffering? Or is it just a coincidence that you treat criticism of Israel’s numerous crimes as pro-Hamas rhetoric?

                Good question: ask Israeli leaders who mantain an apartheid state, while financing terrorists. Feel free to post their answer.

                First of all fuck Hamas and Israel both, just to get their dickriders to STFU.

                So how do you feel about the Ukrainians?

                Is it all war you want to end or just this particular one?

              I’m curious though - you think Israel is funding and puppeting Hamas? As an excuse to roll over Gaza?

                I think? Major newspapers, including Israeli ones think. From what I’ve read in order to make harder/impossible a path towards a two state solution. Since Israel always aimed at rob all the land and keep the apartheid regime.

                  Ok so Israel is behind Hamas in your eyes.

                  Cool. Then what’s the simple solution to stopping Israel? Hamas surrenders. Boom, no more excuse for war.

                  So show you’re serious. Call for the Israeli puppet to surrender

                    The whattaboutist you’re responding to is referring to this, (archival link because paywall)

                    Netanyahu let Qatari money into Gaza to prop up Hamas and divide and conquer Palestine by supporting the PA’s rival in Gaza. Evidently he didn’t think Hamas was willing or capable of what they did on Oct 7. This is one of the reasons he is so incredibly unpopular in Israel right now.

                    Hamas is supported by Iran, and they have evidently been using crypto to get funds to them (archival link):

                    Iran has long been Hamas’s primary benefactor, with the U.S. putting regular funding from Tehran at roughly $100 million a year. Hamas also has earned income from a global investment portfolio, raised money through charitable organizations, and skimmed off funds from official foreign aid and tax revenues in Gaza.
