    it’s all because of US propaganda. the US media has tricked their readers into thinking that being anti-Israel is being antisemitic, and since 9/11 Americans tend to view Muslims as subhuman. and of course it doesn’t help that the US send tons of military aid to Israel every year

      As I recall, the statement said that “Israel bears full responsibility.” I disagree with that. The Israeli government and Hamas together bear full responsibility.

      I am also annoyed at the false dichotomy that criticizing one side is equal to fully supporting the other.

        ah, but Netanyahu created his own enemy. he funded Hamas to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state, promoting it from a small extremist faction to the dominant force in Palestinian politics

          Just because a bad person reportedly funded a terrorist group, doesn’t make them not a terrorist group.

            i’m not denying that Hamas is a terrorist group. i think they’re evil too. what i’m saying is that Netanyahu funded them and propelled them to power, putting his own people at risk to further his political goals

        You ain’t wrong Hamas ain’t friends to the west.

        But their crimes don’t excuse the crimes Israel is committing against the residents of Gaza.

        What is Israel is doing is wrong and time will expose it but as of now, Gaza residents will like be either exterminated or removed from there.

        With Arabs won’t do shit… Surely US or EU won’t either.
