    It’s incredible that this meme has a reason to exist, that there truly are people who refuse to accept the obvious, that Hamas is an extreme radical organization that feeds on hatred and is more than willing to use and abuse their own population as cannon fodder, for martyrdom-propaganda purposes.

      People tend to assign a good side and a bad side to conflicts. Because the IDF is essentially committing genocide to attack Hamas, people who don’t know much about Hamas are labeling Hamas the good side.

      In reality Hamas and the IDF are both pretty monstrous and civilians are suffering as a result of both their actions, but since “Palestinian civilian” isn’t a fun team name they get lumped in with Hamas by ignorant people -_-

        They aren’t “committing genocide to attack Hamas”, they have propped up Hamas for years specifically so they can bomb average people more and enact genocidal policies, in their ultimate goal of the destruction of Palestine. Right-wing Israeli politicians have been pretty clear about that for decades. Hamas isn’t alone on their side, and Israel isn’t targeting them specifically, they are just the largest of several militant groups fighting against Israel.

      For me is totaly credible, reality has a lot of nuances and it is complex to understand. If ppl still votes for trumps, bolsonaros and le pens how would you find incredible they can’t understand shit about one of the most complex conflics of the last century?
