This cycle will just keep producing more and more fighters for them as they believe they are the resistance.

This sentence has been repeated after every flare up there since 1948. Nobody there learns because nobody there wants to. Having a constant enemy is very useful for those in power on both sides.

Not to forget that Likud is a far right party, that needs constant fear and an enemy to continue to thrive, and they have that in the face of Hamas.

Also quite interesting to note is that Israelian settlers can also be quite violent and radicalized, but almost no one is talking about them or about their unprovoked act of aggression.

So when fighting terrorism Israel should not apply double standards and treat all violence no matter the origin equally.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
