"Their terror attack" lol. My man, if the term terror attack was around in the 1940s, Hitler would have used it to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. And make no mistake- this is a ghetto uprising. If you don't want people to make a violent bid for freedom, don't spend decades torturing and murdering them in an open air concentration camp with no recourse. Simple.
Terrorist is buzzword that fascist states apply to people who stand up for themselves, who return even a fraction of the violence they are made to suffer every day. "Terrorist" is just "savage" with a fresh coat of paint. Every slave revolt and anti-colonial uprising in history has been tarred with the same brush.
There is no Hamas without Isreal.
I'm with you here. The violence is of Israel's own making, but no matter how "just" one believes their actions are, they are still against international humanitarian law. I apply the same standard to everyone, be it Hamas, Israel, Poland, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, China, United States, etc.
If you are willing to spill civilian blood, you also should be willing to take responsibility for those actions.
I must’ve missed the part where the 30k civilians murdered in this genocide killed anyone.
You probably at least missed the part where they cheered for hamas and spat on the disfigured and raped bodies of their victims.
Am I supposed to be more or less disgusted if that was before/after they murdered 30,000 mostly women and children.
It's what gave Israel its pretext to retaliate so you tell me.
I don’t converse or debate genocide apologists. The mere fact you call it a retaliation instead of a massacre of women and children shows your callousness to humanity. Have a nice day.
Your numbers are higher than even the hummus ones right now, unless you really believe that only 5k were soldiers
Agreed.
The last check I did sat right around 35000.
I don’t think any of us believe they have only gotten 5k soldiers.
The term "civilian" has been actively stripped of all meaning when people willfully occupying native land and displacing the population as those natives are slaughtered are included.
While I agree with your general point, it's still a war crime to take civilians as hostages.
Nah, it’s safe to apply the label terrorist to ANYONE who decides to hold children for ransom
