    The prisoners have to be punished brutally for daring to retaliate against their conditions.

        You need to be more specific. Are you talking about the civilians inside the prison? Or the civilians outside the prison?

        I assume you’re trying to construe these kinds of statements as support or justification for Hamas’ attack. That’s mostly not the case. I don’t think many people condone it. I know I find it unjustifiable. However I think the reasons why it happened are explainable and at least somewhat understandable.

        The conditions the Palestinians have been driven to , largely by the Israeli military/government and the illegal settlers have created a situation where they feel there aren’t many other options. It doesn’t make the attacks any less horrific. It doesn’t make the attacks right. It doesn’t make them justified. But it does make them practically inevitable.
