It’s not genocide, it’s self-defense /s

Why the /s ?

It’s war. War has unfortunate and unavoidable casualties. Israel didn’t choose this war and has done everything it can to avoid it. Including pulling out unilaterally from the entire Gaza Strip in 2005.

The Palestinians were left to govern themselves and elected Hamas. Hamas has received hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from all over the world, including Israel. Israel supplied water, electricity, gas, fuel and work permits in Israel. Yet, instead of Hamas choosing to build civilian infrastructure and help the Palestinians, the leaders embezzled millions and the cose to build rockets and terrorism infrastructure and pay terrorist salaries.

Israel stood by and watched the world turn a blind eye, again and again, to rockets being fired i to civilian populations. Name one country that would allow that to happen to them and wouldn’t retaliate. We’re done with the so-called “proportionate responses”. What is the proportionate response to decapitated babies? To butchered toddlers? To kidnap and rape, and abduction of the elderly? There is no peace to be made with an organization that lives up to it’s charter claiming its intentions to kill you. Israel and the Jewish people swore that the holocaust would never happen again.

Never again means never again.

Hamas is ISIS and needs to be eradicated.

Fuck off. 50% of the people in gaza are minors. Minors israel keeps killing. Israel has done nothing to prevent escalation. They steal more and more land and shoot people from the safety of their walls. Both sides in this conflict, the Israel government and Hamas are the exact same level of inhuman.

Israel has done nothing to prevent escalation.

And what exactly hamas did to prevent escalation?

They steal more and more land and shoot people from the safety of their walls.

When did that happen last time?

Glad we’re able to see it for what it is.

It looks like reddit is overtaken by zionist propaganda. Most of the upvoted posts on /r/worldnews are cheering for the murder of children.

Israel already killed more kids, on top of all the kids they killed this year, and they’re still killing more.

Nobody over there cares. I think that site is done.

Would you have the same response if it was said about the KKK?

Except it is with Israel as the perpetrators

So what sort of solution are you proposing? A final one perhaps? Daesh and Hamas are not related, but I guess to racists all vaguely Muslim people are the same, eh?

Daesh and Hamas have the same agenda - killing everyone different than them. Decapitation, rape and indiscriminately murdering innocent families in their homes. Add to that the Muslim factor and you have your similarity. Both ISIS and Hamas are much more ghan “vaguely Muslim”. Calling me a racist doesn’t change those facts.

The solution is eradicating Hamas like ISIS was (mostly) eradicated. Did you cry racism when war was being waged against ISIS?

Get off your high horse

Israel didn’t choose this war

Riiiight… Palestinians “chose” this war by not blinking out of existence as soon as Europeans initiated a genocidal white supremacist settler-colonialist project on the land the Palestinians happened to be living on.

Riiiiight.

This is an absurd exaggeration of the reality of the situation. This did not become a genocidal/apartheid situation until after 1948. There was an opportunity for peace in the UN partition plan, which would have required no one to “blink out of existence”.

I guess you don’t realize that there are a good portion of Israelis that are not white.

Immigrants from Arab countries, Ethiopia, India, and others. These Jews were persecuted in their countries and suffered from pogroms and murders against their population there. In a similar situation you would call anyone else “refugees” yet somehow these Jews are called colonists and white supremists?!

GTFO of here with that shit
