    I would also be in favor of ending racist government policies and giving full rights and protections to Palestinians, but that is really difficult with the terrorist actions.

      That’s saying “the beatings will continue until morale improves”.

          Saying “both sides” is siding with the oppressor.

              GTFO with false equivalence between a democratically elected government with nuclear weapons, backed by the USA, and the terrorist band they’re propping up as a preferred enemy to undercut peaceful leadership.

                You’re also against Hamas? Cool, we agree. Seemed like the original comment was defending their use of violence. I by no means support Israel or what it’s doing to the Palestinians. But Hamas is pretty terrible.

                I agree the peaceful leadership was undercut. What I was trying to say was that that leadership was better and likely to incur less Palistinian death and suffering than Hamas and it’s ‘violence is the only answer’ stance.

                Hamas isn’t exactly democratically elected and their policies are dumb as fuck. Their military strategy of shoot-some-rockets-then-eat-concrete isn’t very successful
