  • Tell me what criticism of Hamas accomplishes then. They went and killed a thousand innocent Israelis, they hide among civilians, resulting in said civilians deaths. What now? Do I get a gold star for pointing out the terrorists? Do the dead get to cheer that their death meant another Hamas militant died (or didn’t in the case of this article)?Are the living supposed to feel grateful to Israel that their family and friends are dead, needless to say hateful towards Hamas for hiding amongst them? What is the goal here? What are me, and the dozens of other people here, missing that only you seem to see? And again I will point it out, this entire thread started when you saw an article takling about Israel’s recent mistake, and said “But why isn’t anyome criticising Hamas?”



  • But they are, that is the situation we are in. At every point we can say Hamas is a piece of shit group for using human shields, but that’s not gonna change the situation. You keep saying that Hamas isn’t getting enough criticism, but I think bombardment by the IDF is criticism enough. The whole ask is, stop shooting through the human shields to kill the bad guys. Even here there is doubt that there even was Hamas hiding with civilians to begin with. We are just giving Israel loads and loads of money, but we can’t even get a more definitive answer than “we said so”? At this point I can only think that, even if by some chance Israel really isn’t commiting a genocide, the end result will be indistinguishable from it. Palestine and it’s people will be erased physically or culturally and we are allowing it to happen, and any pointing that out is met with “Hamas is the one using them as shields” or “Hamas started it”. Hamas is unconscionable. Israel isn’t, or atleast they say they aren’t.











  • We aren’t talking about not killing Hamas though. We are talking about Palestinian civilians. You keep on sidestepping that. All comments I’ve seen you leave are you pretending to be this “both sides suck” person, but making no distinguishment between civilian and combatant with respect to Hamas and Palestine. You talk about Israel being justified in “getting its hands dirty to stop genocide”. You generalize Palestinian civilians as terrorists for a sentiment that Israeli civilians have confessed to feeling themselves.

    The ask has been, and always will be stop killing civilians, but there are no “civilians” on one side of the conflict to you, and that is why your sympathy isn’t worth it. I must have missed the direct address to “Burstar’s sympathy” in the article.


  • I guess I just find it real interesting the amount of doiblethink it takes to continously push that we are “terrorist sympathizers”. Or maybe I misunderstand and you’re saying that Palestinians are terrorist sympathizers because seeing you’re whole family erradicated and wanting revenge against those who did it is terrorism. I definitley don’t support Hamas, and if it is the case that wanting revenge for dead innocents is terrorism, the the IDF are a bunch of brutal hypocrite terrorists that are being funded by the US. Also, it’s kind of hard to see through “genocide” when the Lancet is putting new estimates at 8% of the population dead. I really don’t think “earning” your sympathy or the sympathy of anyone that thinks like you is worth much.
