    Yet Palestinian support for the Hamas terrorists just continues to grow. So weird thinking it’s 2024, and they’re having a fucking religious war over there.

      This is to be expected. The past ~20 years has been very bad for diplomacy with Israel. When it Israel actually engages in diplomacy with it’s Palestinian population the population Hamas plummets.

      You have to realize. They are literally idiots.

      They’re in prison, being fed propaganda with no future, too many kids, too many problems no education. It’s hardly their choice unfortunately.

      We need to feel pity not contempt.

          Being educated and supporting Hamas just doesn’t compute. Even if you are politically brain damaged to think the only solution to Israel problem is to kick every jew out Hamas is so incredibly incompetent that no one with a single brain cell could possible support this organization.

              being educated and being Clarence Thomas doesn’t compute either but the world is in an absolute fuckhole state, there’s no hand on the till and the rich are just making sure they’ve got all of theirs so they can hold out as long as possible against the zombie apocalypse, which will just be hungry people. That’s the real dark side to such stories.

              They could have stopped it but they’re just choosing to hunker down and not give a shit, and they will die just like the rest of us because of it

                No it doesn’t. It’s a weird jump in logic that makes no sense. The commenter above you even gave you a US example of the same way of thinking. There are plenty of educated people voting for conservatives in the US. They aren’t “idiots” as you’ve put it.

                  Why do you think they aren’t “idiots”? I’d argue that they very well are :)

      That’s because they believe that Hamas’s attack on Oct 7 was in retaliation for Israel’s prior actions while Israel is using Oct 7 to retaliate against all of Palestine. Palestinians are going to support the side that is not bombing them and that they believe is standing up to the persecution they’ve experienced up until and including now.

      You’d have to be a fucking moron to believe that bombing Palestinian civilians would make them support Hamas less.

      We already went over this in WW2. Mass murdering civilians doesn’t break them, it actually increases their resolve. It’s obvious Israel doesn’t give a shit about destroying Hamas since they’re choosing to ignore 80 years of lessons in counterinsurgency warfare.

      If someone kills your wife, you aren’t going to think “well gee maybe I should get along with her murderers now”. You’re going to look for revenge or justice, and the only people offering anything close to that in Palestine are Hamas.

        Sort of justifies what Israel is doing to Gaza in response to Hamas going after civilians. Oh, but not that way, right?

          Israel is the one with the power to stop. They’ve been committing acts of war against Palestinians and a slow rolling genocide for decades. The natives forming a resistance group does not justify the actions of the colonists.

              Crack a history book. The side with less power never stops for being oppressed. It’s not in the human psyche. And oppressors claiming victimhood the entire way through a genocide is the number one excuse for commiting a genocide.
