I'm Irish, and I can tell you that my people fought a violent and bloody revolution against the strongest empire in the world, and they did so without going on a rampage of indiscriminately killing innocent civilians, women, children and family pets.
You can support rights and sovereignty for Palestine without justifying the evil terrorists actions of Hamas over the weekend. If anything Hamas has now done more damage to the Palestinian cause than anything in history.
You... Actually think no women or child were hurt by Irish resistance?
Did I say that? Or do you simply not understand the definition of the words "indiscriminately" and "rampage"?
Yes, I understand that you're dehumanizing Hamas.
Brits described the Irish the exact same way. Like animals.
I'm dehumanizing how? By plainly and literally describing what over the weekend happened in an objective fashion?
You clearly don't have a leg to stand on here. Time to move on, go talk into a shoebox or something.
It wasn't random and it wasn't without careful judgement and it wasn't uncontrolled. They aren't rampaging beasts. This was calculated.
