      If you think Hamas does anything but to promote Israels extinctionist agenda by targeting civilians, you are tragically wrong.

      It’s not that one cannot understand that people in Gaza get desperate and start supporting Hamas - it’s equally easy to understand how people in Israel become terrified and support Netanyahu and his allies. It’s a death spiral.

      Sympathize with the people, not their terrorist leaders. At least the people of Israel got to stupidly elect their leaders only a year ago - the people in Gaza had no such luxury. You can understand where the desperation comes from while also appreciating that it does nothing good to anyone, least of all the civilians in the Gaza Strip currently thirsting under rocket fire and a cloud of white phosphor. The only one it helped in the end are the Israeli far right who want an excuse to “complete the borders” of Israel.

      What the fuck is wrong with you? Israel slaughters Palestinian civilians on any given day, so Hamas slaughtering civilians on any given day is a-okay?

      This isn’t mounting a resistance. It’s shooting up a daycare because you were bullied in school. And now the daycare is carpet bombing the school in retaliation.

      IT’S ALL FUCKED UP
