    Now imagine if the IDF had shown up and murdered a bunch of people at the graduation ceremony.

    What scale of asshole would that be?

      Imagine if Hamas stormed a festival and executed 1200 people for shits and giggles. Now that would be some assholery.

      Lucky for us Hamas is a wholesome book club.

      Stupid rhetoric.

        If we’re going to get the analogy correct, you’re right, Hamas would be the assholes that killed 1200 people at a festival, and then IDF/Israel killed 34,000+, 70% women and children, in response.

        Seems like a balanced response from a country which you’d expect to desire the respect of other first world countries?

        Oh wait. That’s not an analogy.

        Let’s see what happens next? Spoiler! Israel annexes more Palestinian land for illegal settlements!

          I’m not defending the actions of the Israeli army. They are doing some bad stuff.

          But everyone supporting Palestine as a state should have a week with Hamas at work. Hamas is the government of Palestine. The civilian population of Palestine are getting shafted because the Palestinian government are using them as shield.

          If Palestine sent it’s army. Read Hamas to fight in the field Israel wouldn’t have any excuse to do a ground invasion in urban environments.

          Meanwhile the head of Hamas sits safe in Kuwait sipping champagne.
