    Nah, mate. Killing random civilians isn’t the same as killing slave masters. Random people on the street aren’t the ones to blame. Needless blood is counterproductive and just fuels hatred. Being designated as a terrorist org means the slim possibility of receiving foreign assistance is reduced to zero.

      Thank you for this. I just wanted to add that Hamas didn’t know the political leanings of those they killed so there can’t even be a “well, they voted for Netenyahu.” I have family in Israel. They all voted against Netenyahu and marched against many of his actions. Luckily, they are all safe, but had they been in that area they would have been killed or taken hostage with everyone else.

      This wasn’t an attack against the people who attacked the palestinians. This was an attack against random innocent citizens. It’s possible to both condemn Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians and condemn this attack.

      Oh yeah, america calling you terrorists means sooo much… Remember the “terrorists” that were in the hospital Obama bombed? Or the “terrorists” at the wedding he bombed? Or the “terrorists” who had WMDs based on zero proof?

      Israel kills far more civilians than Hamas ever has, so it’s the lesser of 2 evils. Maybe Israeli citizens should storm the capitol and force an end to the genocide. If your country is doing genocide and you say nothing, you are complicit. I don’t care if Hamas targeted civilians, even though they didn’t. Because they know better than I do about what is necessary in order to end the genocide.

      Talking about needless blood only when Israel loses a fight makes you a hypocrite. There has been a river of blood flowing out of Palestine for 30 years, so excuse me if I declare bullshit on you and the rest of our country caring about innocent civilians now.
