It is crazy how you have people behind Hamas or even stating both sides are "equally bad".
You’re right. With the numbers presented here, Israel is definitely acting worse right now.
These two groups of people are at war. One of them are using guerrilla terrorist tactics to kill civilians, and the other is using their political sway and superior firepower to commit genocide.
There is no “equally bad”, but if you support the eradication of either side, you are a horrible person in my eyes.
Sometimes I do wish to see what would the death and destruction look like if Israel actually did not care about civilians and did all the things people here describe them doing. Luckily that will never happen, and Israel will continue to care about the safety of their own citizens, as well as the safety of the Palestinians Hamas is hiding behind to a much greater degree than Hamas ever cared for a human soul.
So you wish you could be more out and open with the genocide sometimes just to show the haters? That doesn't sound healthy.
"You don't even know how many we could be murdering!" said the supporter of the country whose people had previously suffered an unspeakable genocide.
No, I wish people like you spreading hate would stop ignoring the inconvenient facts instead of focusing purely at the numbers.
Haha, focusing at the 'numbers'. He doesn't even acknowledge they are HUMANS.
Yikes, that's a good point.
People like me? People who care about people? What do you mean people like me?
Oh those inconvenient facts that make Israel look an awful lot like the monsters they ran from a few decades ago... we seem to not be ignoring them very much, dunno what you are talking about.
I'm talking about inconvenient facts like Hamas hiding an entire compound under a hospital. How Israel is sending out warnings in 5 different ways before striking any target. How Hamas has been firing rockets at Israel civilian centers constantly. How Hamas has all these supplies stored up, yet people are starving. How truck after truck of aid, building supplies, and life necessities go into Gaza, yet mysteriously nothing gets better there.
No, none of that is ever mentioned. Instead you hear people parroting how Israel is "carpet bombing" Gaza, targeting civilians, and "trying to genocide Palestinians". Under the same breathe they wonder why the Israeli government ignores them after hearing this bullshit.
Perhaps it is because all we have heard for decades is the MSM parroting that Israel is the only victim here and how evil the Palestinians are. The Pro-Israel crowd is just a little surprised because there isn't blind support of their talking points and instead other facts are now being talked about that don't align with their propaganda.
Btw Israel isn't just trying to genocide the palestinians they are doing a pretty good job over the last 3 weeks. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/middleeast/satellite-images-gaza-destruction/index.html
Yep sure looks targeted and not like they are just demolishing whole communities. Get the fuck outta here with your bullshit.
