Hamas has spent years stockpiling desperately needed fuel, food and medicine, as well as ammo and weapons, in the miles of tunnels it has carved out under Gaza.

NOTHING makes it okay to perform the terrorist murders Hamas did.

but is the daily plight of Palestinians Okay?

I stand with Palestinian and Israeli civilians and hope they can find leaders who want a solution after Hamas is eradicated.

Agree. Netanyahu holds a huge responsibility for making Hamas terrorists able to do what they have done. Fuck Netanyahu and his far right government.

First sane comment of yours in this thread.

Well, ideally by the electoral process, but absolutely. I personally think the Olmert proposal would have been fantastic, but Abbas knew that Hamas would never let him get away with it.

You and I can’t imagine what life is like in occupied Palestine. Who am I to judge how oppressed people choose to resist. I don’t have that right, having never been in their shoes.

Nelson Mandela-

I and some colleagues came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be wrong and unrealistic for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. It was only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of political struggle.

If you’re curious and want to understand the conflict better, Vice did a deep dive into the conflict.

Nothing justifies it. But there are plenty of reasons that explain it. Abusing someone doesn't justify them murdering their abuser, but it sure as hell explains it. When I poke a dog I may not feel that it's legally justified in biting me, but I'm hardly surprised.
