That's really cool maybe have the same feelings for those being oppressed for 75+ years instead of them striking back when everyone else has abandoned them.
it was predicted this would happen for multiple years in advance if people kept ignoring the Palestinians. There were many warnings given. Everyone still kept ignoring them.
Hey guess what, most people can hold more than one idea in their heads at thw same time.
Israel occupying palestine and committing genocide is bad! Israel killing civilians is bad!
Hamas killing civilians is bad! Hamas kidnapping people is bad!
These are not mutually exclusive, hamas don't get a free pass to be cunts because Israel is a bigger cunt.
Absolutely they sure have massive flaws. But since there is nobody else standing up for the Palestinians right to self determination.
Hamas is the lesser of all evils. Including the US as Biden just proved.
If you want to prove Hamas wrong then show me someone else that's stopping Palestinians from being Genocided.
Else don't condemn the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto.
Hm. Where the fuck have the billions in aid money to Gaza gone over the years?
Hamas has done some amazing “standing up for the Palestinians”…
Why doesn't Hamas just make a liberal paradise inside of their concentration camp? Great question.
If your neighbor constantly shot at you, you’d build a wall between your houses too.
But Gaza has another boarder. Does Egypt participate in making Gaza a concentration camp?
If someone invades your land and kills your family you shoot them indeed. Which is what Palestinians do.
Israel controls the Egypt border so yes. Weird you bring that up.

For someone who seems to like to portray a good understanding of the situation this seems like a huge oversight. Or were you bullshitting me?
So in light of this information, how is it possible to make Gaza into an open air prison or concentration camp when they don't control the whole thing?
What's stopping Palestinians from ending their crusade to kill all Jews and just use the aid money for actually improving their situation (imagine if Hamas allowed this)?
So who does the checking at Rafah is that Egypt? Why is there IDF at the scanners?
Because they stand to lose the most when Hamas brings in weapons. Stop acting confused.
The IDF isn't stopping them from importing school building materials. You're not actually this dense.
So why is Biden asking israel to lift the blockade? Not Egypt?
Every human rights organisation and NGO and Country in the world claims israel is blocking all aid and here you are here saying the opposite.
You mean since Oct 7th? You know the answer.
Yeah I do indeed. Can you spell it out?
