    Let me just start by saying that the overwhelming majority of victims from Israel’s genocidal warfare are innocent civilians, many of which are children.

    However, the other side of belligerents in this conflict is Hamas, who are unequivocally terrorists. Yes, Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people has pushed a lot of people towards Hamas, and yes, Israel has made sure that Hamas has received ample funding and support as a way to weaken the Palestinian Authority, but that doesn’t make Hamas less bad.

    Hamas hasn’t just terrorized, kidnapped, raped, and murdered Israeli civilians, they have waged a campaign of oppression and terror against the Palestinian people in order to remain in power. They are a symptom of the national, regional, and geopolitical situation that exists in that region, but they are horrible nonetheless.

      Doing atrocity propaganda in favour of Israel is bad. There has been no mass rape of “Israeli”, that’s Hasbara propaganda. Palestine has a right to defend itself from the worst atrocity of the 21st century.
