Your position might have been reasonable two weeks ago. Today, reconciliation with a hostile enemy who is actively murdering and kidnapping your civilians is both inappropriate and foolish.

    I’m a fool then. It’s called settler colonialism. And even if I don’t agree with the methods, who am I to judge those who are oppressed. Israel enabled Hamas. So if you don’t like what they did, blame Israel. It’s not complicated.

    "Look what you made me do!" Screamed the terrorist as he murdered old women, kidnapped innocents to be used as hostages, paraded bloodied bodies through the streets, beheaded babies, and raped civilians in front of their dead friends.

    Yeah really compelling. What you support is vile.

    Your bent logic doesn’t work. Was I vile when I nearly cried as I watched a young, barely teen, Palestinian girl pulled from the rubble of her home after it was bombed? If that’s vile, so be it. I stand with Palestine! Not Hamas. Palestine! You stand with Settler Terrorism.

    That is worthy of sympathy, what's vile is then saying this justifies mediaeval brutality against civilians. There's a difference between collateral damage and intentionally murdering civilians. Israel goes to great lengths to minimize collateral damage, often giving targets of their strikes advanced warning. If Israel behaved like Hamas, if they went by the same playbook and sought to maximize civilian deaths, there would be no Palestine. The behaviors of these actors are not morally equivalent.

    I stand with Palestine! Not Hamas. Palestine!

    Palestinians of Gaza elected Hamas, they are the representatives that they chose to represent them. Don't pretend this is an unrelated entity. These attacks were not orchestrated by some clandestine civilians, it was the genocidal government they chose behaving the way they said they would.

    You’ve been brainwashed. You have no understanding of the history of this conflict. I’ll let Richard Boyd Barret explain it. Don’t bother shopping for shoes, you have no legs to stand on.

    Thanks for the link, all respects to Mr. Barret but he is wrong.

    "[Israel is saying that] they intend to starve the people of Gaza of food, electricity, water. That is a war crime under the 4th geneva convention."

    Lol. I’m gonna let you cook for a week and see if you feel the same way.

    1. The first article is about Egypt allowing aid despite Israel committing a war crime .
    2. They don’t have to occupy when they can just settle
    3. Who mentioned a flotilla?

    If you still feel the same way after the bombings, you might want to start gathering wooden rods… for a bundle, and don’t forget the axe.
