    Its is a ‘both sides’ issue when the Palestinian side has rejected every peace deal, commits terrorist attacks, and calls for the genocide of Jews. Nobody looks good in this conflict.

      Palestinian side? What the fuck are you talking about. Stop conflating hamas with all of palestine. It’s like conflating israel with all jews. You’re just being racist. Hamas has also repetedly requested a cease fire that israel always refuses so you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Stop trying to act like an enlightened centrist in a conflict you clearly know nothing about.

        Hamas is the ruling, elected authority of Gaza. And even before them, other Palestinian officials have rejected multiple peace deals. That doesn’t mean all Palestinians are culpable, the same way not all Israelis are responsible for Netanyahu’s actions.

      Ah yes just keep lying about how Israel totally didn’t sabotage those peace deals deliberately.

      Yeah it’s so infuriating when people don’t acknowledge the very clear reality that if the shoe was on the other foot then the genocide would have happened long ago.

      Also this isn’t just Palestine it’s very clearly a lot of fundamentalist terror groups and countries like Iran. There are very real and scary threats to Israel, Hamas gets huge funding and help from so many places - which they use almost exclusively to build combat tunnels and rockets.

      It’s horrible for the Palestinian people but Israel isn’t the only one making their lives hard, Hamas isn’t about helping Palestinians it’s about hurting Jews and if their own people dying helps then they’re fine with it

        It’s horrible for the Israeli people but Hamas isn’t the only one making their lives hard, Likud isn’t about helping Israelis it’s about hurting Arabs and if their own people dying helps then they’re fine with it.
