Not trying to downplay how shitty Israel is but Hamas militants have been attacking and killing civilians since 2004. Not to mention the nearly 1400, mostly civilians, deaths the attack on Oct 7th caused. This is two sides with idiotic ideologies who have no regard for humanity. So if you’re going to point make sure you point in both directions with this comic.

Both sidesing this conflict isn't really reflective of whats happening. Israel has been attacking and killing civilians since the Nakba in 1948. Not to mention the nearly 1400 children (and above 4,000 mostly civlian) deaths the attacks since Oct 7th caused. Israel has kept the Gaza economy close to collapse, and used to have a policy of keeping Gaza perpetually starved (now the simply don't let food into Gaza).

The Hamas attack and the strength of Hamas is quite literally the result of Israeli policy. Israel had a strategy of targeting the PLO while encouraging Islamic resistance so they could encourage infighting and avoid the involvement of the USSR. Israel funded and supported Hamas. Israel is at least partially at fault for the death of their civilians.

I 100% agree. I’m speaking specifically of the content of the comic.
