The last time Mona Awda Talla saw her daughter Shahed alive, she was leaving the house to go buy her some cake, wearing pink pants. Moments later, she was dead.
I think Hamas is awful for killing 1200 and kidnapping hundreds
However, I can do math, and so I think even in this conflict alone Israel is approximately 30 TIMES WORSE. If I spend 300 words talking about how Israel is disgusting I can write “Hamas did horrendous crimes on October 7th and are murderers” and I’m responding completely in proportion
You’re fine with Hamas deliberately targeting civilians because Israel has killed so many more of them? I don’t see how that excuses it in any way. They were lobbing unguided rockets towards the Israeli population for years before this current war started. Killing civilians in unacceptable and they’re both guilty of this. What do you think Hamas would do if they had the military capability of Israel? They’re not killing less Israeli civilians for moral reasons…

When did I say that? All I said was that’s probably why people are spending more time criticizing Israel rather than Hamas.
You’re acting like evil is zero sum. Dude fuck Hamas. But also fuck Israel. Israel has done everything over the last several decades to make Palestinian life harder. That doesn’t make people less radical. And since October 7th they’ve killed 30x the civilians that Hamas killed. At least.

To quote Uncle Ben, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
Israel cannot use “Hamas would do it too if they could” as an excuse to slaughter civilians.
Netanyahu knows he has to go back to answering for his crimes of corruption if he stops stoking the fires of war with Hamas. Acting like he’s fighting a crusade to save Israel keeps him in power. Slaughtering innocents to radicalize survivors keeps him in power.
Probably because Hamas hasn’t killed 30,000 civilians in less than a year. But I dunno, I’m not an expert.

Sure. No doubt. Fuck Hamas with a rusty pipe.
But Fuck Netanyahu and his guys with rusty pipe 30x the diameter.
