I do not support the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel. That’s my Shibboleth. What Hamas did is unspeakable evil and unforgivable.
That said, Palestinians are human beings and around half of their population are children. When you cut off food, water, electricity, and bomb civilian areas, including the cultural hub of all of Gaza, to dust, maybe your retaliation has gone too far.
What if the prisoners held by Hamas are being treated humanely and taken care of? All this mass slaughter to get them back will look even more barbarous.
There reports that Hamas actually is withholding fuel from the population to cause this.
I mean it could be just propaganda, but when Israel sent sms notifications to evacuate, because they will start bombing, Hamas started giving leaflets to stay at home, and it is just attempt to create panic. Someone posted such leaflet, unfortunately I no longer can find it.
Seems like those leaflets were probably good advice. Israel has told northern Gazans to move south, but then proceeded to bomb areas in the south. It's almost seems like the intent was to concentrate them to increase civilian life loss... But why would Israel do that?!
Oh there's even more angles than just that.
"Oh no, we told them to go south. Must mean everyone still here is Hamas and we can murder these 'combatants' that certainly aren't civilians".
Also, they get to annex even more Palestinian land. It's even on the coast!
I swear to fuck, unless an Israeli mouthpiece is calling Palestinians sub-human, everything else is lies or projection.
