Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fighting for your existence is always the right choice.

[–] SirToxicAvenger@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

interestingly enough, there wouldnt actually be any fighting if hamas hadnt attacked.

Just Palestinians being oppressed for another 50 years, right?

Hamas has attacked the Israeli civilians because they hate Israel, not because they want to free the Palestinians. They don’t give a single fuck about the Palestinians. Otherwise they wouldn’t dress in civilian clothes, wouldn’t put their military installations/launch sites in or near civilian buildings AND they would share their vast resources with the Palestinians.

Israel outguns them by an almost unfathomable degree. Getting upset that they aren’t fighting a conventional war against a military that gets trillions from overseas is naive.

Just cut to the chase and tell them to kill themselves.

Also, do you think IDF soldiers killing kids and journalists and Israeli settlers killing and displacing citizens in the West Bank (a location with marginal Hamas influence) might have something to do with why certain Palestinians might hate Israel? Or are you plugging your ears and insisting it’s just because they’re Muslim?

Odd that they didn’t want to respond to that…

Its pointless. Look at all my responses. If you want to side with Israel over the people they are oppressing then sure. I'm not condoning the actions of Hamas. I am saying if you throw people in confinement and treat them like they're demons, you get demons.
