The European Union on Sunday condemned Hamas for using "hospitals and civilians as human shields" in Gaza, while also urging Israel to show "maximum restraint" to protect civilians.
Hamas is a terrorist group that went out of their way to kill and kidnap innocent people, wanted to provoke this exact Israeli response, and want the war to continue unabated.
Palestinians are civilians. They live under a dictatorship by Hamas which does not allow dissent. They’re being slaughtered indiscriminately by Israel.
Hamas has stockpiles of supplies that they aren’t sharing with the Palestinians, even though they wanted Israel to cut off all supplies. They steal aid that’s meant for the civilians. And they dismantle projects meant to help Palestinians to make into weapons.
These are not the same group. Hamas is absolutely not a victim, but the Palestinian people absolutely are. Don’t conflate the two. The Palestinians are victims of Hamas as well.
