There’s been an unbroken streak of violence since 1948, when the Arab states refused to allow the partition and began an offensive war. This has been followed by other military attempts by the Arabs, supported by the Palestinians, until they finally lost decisively in the 1970s. That has been followed by five decades of intermittent terrorism and organized attacks.
I get wanting to criticize Israel. Their policies have been dog shit in many areas… but intentionally attacking civilians is something which Israel doesn’t need to tolerate.
Nope, they aren’t. You could make a quite reasonable argument that Israel isn’t doing enough to avoid collateral civilian deaths, but at the end of the day, the reason civilians die while Israel fights Hamas is that Hamas hides behind civilians. Claiming Israel is intentionally killing civilians is blatantly dishonest.
Why is Israel under an obligation to endlessly supply water and electricity for a people who place genocidal terrorists as their government? I mean, I’m glad the Biden admin got them to turn the water back on but how often will the hand which feeds get bitten before it stops feeding
The median age in Palestine is 18. A majority weren’t alive for that “election”. Hamas isn’t even Democratic. They are jihadists who are consolidating power.
This rhetoric is insane. If we substitute America for Israel people would be foaming at the mouth on Palestinian side, and they wouldn’t be making these false equivalency between Hamas and Palestine.
Yes, because Palestinians are toddlers and have no agency or responsibility for their actions. So patronizing.
They’re adults. They’re responsible for what they did.
And what did Palestine do to get the wrath of Israel?

Intentionally attacking civilians which Israel is doing?

Sure thing. Cutting water, electricity, and bombing hospitals is definitely not what Israel is doing.

How is referring to the government of a country and that country a “false equivalency?”
If Gazans don’t want to catch the consequences of Hamas fucking around, they should probably do something about Hamas
They wouldn’t have to “feed” and “provide water to” their prisoners if they didn’t have them in barely more than concentration camps
They’re free to go anywhere they want to which will have them.
