Why? Because it's true? If you think Israel is justified in what it's doing to disproportionately kill this many people and children, then surely you have to agree that Hamas and Palestinians (in whatever group they form) are they also justified to retaliate against Israel since Israelis are killing innocent civilians... You'd be a hypocrite otherwise. Death is death. Genocide is not justified here.

I believe Israel has the right to respond and attempt to destroy Hamas. It’s a war, there will always be civil causalities. The difference is that whilst one side is the only democratic state in the Middle east, the other one is a terrorist organization which has no place in this world.

I am not saying Israel is 100% innocent. I believe the actions in West Bank are debatable at least but 7th Octobre was nothing but an attempt to genocide. And it was started by Hamas, not Israel.

What nonsense. You just ignore the last 80 years because Oct. 7th is an easy date for you to remember or what?

If Israel has a right to respond, then you're a hypocrite for saying that Palestine doesn't have a right to respond to the last 80 years. This is why they're both terrorists. Both of them are literally trying to achieve their ends via terror.

What do you mean by past 80 years? For the past 80 years, Palestine was given many opportunities to create their own state. They agreed to none. All Palestines have been doing were just stupid attacks that attempted to kill people.

However, I agree with you that Israel is not innocent. It would generally create less tension if they did not keep inhibiting the west bank area. Still, at least they could have accepted a compromise.

How naive. Why did the Palestinians decline the proposed agreements? It’s not “their own state” if Israel still has control over their utilities, travel, supplies, and economy.

[–] samokosik@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I honestly have no clue why Palestinians declined all the offers.

But why israel has a control over their economy and stuff? Because most of the resources end in Hamas's hands and are misused.

[–] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok. So you have no idea what you’re talking about… Thanks for confirming.

How would you know that they’re misused when Hamas has never had control of those things? Israel funded Hamas. Hamas’ entire demand from Israel is self-governance and an end to their occupation/subjugation.

how do I know they are misused? Simply by using eyes. how come they have so many tunnels and rockets while their citizens are starving?
