Anyone murdering civilians is sickening.

Imagine if Hamas had only targeted military installations in their attack, allowing almost everyone at the festival to flee and not raiding villages. Their incursion was incredibly effective - they could still have used drones to take out cell phone towers and prove that Netanyahu’s early warning system was deeply flawed, and sniped the skeleton crew in the guard towers, then they could have focused their efforts on infrastructure damage to the military base or other legitimate targets. Hell, they probably even could have still taken a few hostages to use for actual negotiations - and in this scenario negotiations would be far more realistic to happen.

Exercising restraint would have presented a far better underdog for the world to get behind. It would have clearly shown that Israel’s defence was weak. Instead, they allowed themselves to be riled up by their financial backers and went on a killing spree, putting the focus squarely on them, not Israel. Most people don’t even know how they did it, just what they did when they got in, because what they did was so shocking. This played right into the hands of people who just wanted an excuse to expend some ordnance and kill them all.

There is a simple solution, but it would either require Israel to stop being an ethnostate or stop existing

It’s simple to say that, but the practical application of doing that is anything but simple.

I already said don’t care about your bullshit hand-wringing about the what-ifs an occupied people could have or should have done so that they would be a model minority for you (one who gets exterminated without putting up too much of a fight)

Yeah, America would need to stop supporting it and its ongoing genocide for that to happen.

Oh come on now, you criticise me, but you’re the one who thinks bloody murder is justified. You really are reprehensible.

Yes America is everything that matters in this situation. Grow the fuck up and step out of your basement.

It’s the primary funder, the president said that if Israel didn’t exist the US would have had to create it, because it’s so geopolitically critical. There’s a large number of US ships there right now, in support of Israel.

I’m probably older than you

The existence of Israel is predicted on the bloody murder, and ethnic cleaning of Palestine, and completely unjustified.
