So the palestinians are being victimized both by Hamas and Israel and they have no control of their live whatsoever? If this is your take then why do they choose to stay and why do they choose to bring kids into an environment like this?
No, my stance is that Isn'treal is comitting a gennocide aganst palistine. Hamas is not victimising anyone here, they are in effect one of the organizations the opressed are using to fight back.
As for why they "chose to stay" where do they have to go, for the VAST majority not only is palistine the only place they have citizenship to, its also their home, and most people do not take kindly to an invador trying to take it, or to wipe you and your culture out.
As for why have children, because 1) why aid the genocide and 2) they are still humans doing human things, they still want families, they still have hope for a future, when things get bad we dont just stop having offspring.
Bullshit, the invader didn't exactly come unprovoked did it? People couldve stayed inside Gaza and live peacefully but no that's not enough somehow. They somehow have to constantly attack their neighbour and then cry foul when they loose. When they could've just as well directed this energy into improving Gaza and making it more liveable. And of course Hamas is merely fighting oppression, after all parading naked bodies of girls that they raped to death is just what freedom fighters do right?
Except they could not, Isn'treal kept encroching with their illegal settlements, also look up the Nakba, they where the ones who drew first blood, not the Palistinians. When you are being activly opressed, you do not lie down and make your getto more livable you fight the opression
also there is no evidence of Hamas raping anyone... let alone parading it arround, you know who has reports of raping women though, that is right Isn'treal. so maybe stop speaking out of your god damn ass, and stop suporting the genocider. Opressed people have a moral right to fight back aganst their opressor.
Im referring to the case of Shani Louk among others, go look up the videos if you can stomach it. Somehow I don't see this behaviour on IDF side, they also don't attack music festivals or take 4yo kids as hostages. Hamas has lost any credibility and certainly has no moral right to anything anymore. The case of settlements might be shitty but they are no justification for any of this.
look at the Nakba, or the consistant or ongoing and persistant genocide of the Palistinian people of Isn'treal that has been going on for decades none stop. There is no moral right on the side of Isn'treal, and there is no justification for their existence. Zionism, was considered Antisemetic for a long time and was linked to Nazism. During this phase of the genocide there have been endless reports of rapes of Palistinian women. If we want to talk about moral rights, the Genocidal Settler Colony, has no moral right to anything and predates hamas... speaking of, Hamas was not the first freedom fighting group, there was (and still is) the Popular front, they are far more left wing, but grew too popular for the liking of Isn;treal so they funded Hamas hoping to start infighting (there was not) the only thing that happened was it became a freedom fighting group closer to the overton window of Isn'treal.
I mean maybe the way Israel was set up was not correct but it's been a long time ago and it's time to let go. This is revisionist, just like Putin arguing how he wants the soviet union back or China vs. Taiwan. Israel is a fact for a long time now, there is no good way to change this now so maybe look forward and try for peaceful coexistance.
And yes the settlement policies and other things are bad, I'm not saying that everything Israel is doing is 100% good. But it's on an entirely different level and the ends don't always justify the means. If you try to fight this by being a babarian horde using human shield tactics and by parading dead girls with their tits out through the streets of Gaza then don't expect my support.
So let me get this 100% straight what you are saying... Isn'treal stole land, even after Palistine offored to start a new state combining the both of them, they did the Nakba... confined them to gettos, contenualy will launch attacks on them un provoked, kicked them out of their homes, prevent them from travel, puts Palistine on a strict calorie count as found by the UN to keep the palistinians hungry, routeenly denies them water, food and electricity, will routenly kill them, berate them, dehumanise them. Call them "animals" and "Beasts" but because Isn'treal started this genocide in the late 1940s so if we round to 1950 about 70 years ago, within living history, was "so long ago" the people, who might I add are STILL BEING GENOCIDED should just let it go, because without violance there is no way for them to end their opression and genoicde?
Your argument, just so I know 100% and I am not called someone who is straw manning later is that if a genocide is happening for long enough, and opression is happening for long enough, the opressed should just let it happen, and rocking the boat means violance, and might make others uncomfertable, so just let the genocide happen and try your best to live peacefully with, the people who have in the past genocided you, and are still genociding you?
Did I get your argument correct?
This is not at all what I said and you are making assumptions that are not true. Like Israel is attacking unprovoked just for the sake of it? That's bullshit. And Israel routinely kills random civilians out of cruelty? That's simply not true. Yes civilians sometimes end up as collateral damage but it is never the direct intention. The IDF has processes in place to determine when and where to attack and every single one is based on intel and reasonable probability that legit combatants and targets are hit. Are they always right? Of course not. Do they accept civilian casualties if that can't be avoided? Of course they do. That doesn't change the fact that civilians are not attacked unprovoked just like that out of cruelty or in order to genocide them.
The same can't be said about Hamas music festival attacks and that precisely is the difference.
agian Look up the Nakba, this has been a decades long genocide, nothing about what Hamas is doing is unprovoked, they are retalating aganst a DECADES LONG GENOCIDE
Sorry but even if we assume somehow all other ways are exhausted and violence is your last resort, going after the kids and the festivalgoers is never justified under any circumstances. Maybe if Hamas wouldve directed the fight at the people that have bit to do with the situation like police or army who also use violence to enforce shitty policies.
But with the way things are and the actions Hamas did I don't have to think twice, I'll side with Israel and IDF. They are not perfect but still the way way better option.
