Quote: "We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do it again and again. The Al-Aqsa Deluge [the name Hamas gave its 7 October onslaught - ed.] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs."

You'll find a lot of comments along the lines of the Hamas government and Hamas terrorist organization being fundamentally separate entities. You'll also find a lot of people dismissing the claims in articles like this one or trying to paint anyone in Hamas inciting violence as 'not important'.

The idea is to foster a narrative to paint Israel as 'just as bad as hamas' and while Israel has done many bad things, the gap between the two is massive. I think it mostly comes from a desire to paint one side as 'good' and one side as 'evil' which isn't always easy.

That's a good point, Israel has done a lot more damage to the people of Palestine than Hamas has to Israelites.

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.
