Again people lose sight of the fact that regardless of hamas actions, that doesn't justify the killing of thousands of kids and families that are taking shelter in the hospital.

If anything, the medical staff and families are also hostages and they shouldn't be killed either.

People kept arguing about the tunnel and the hospital ignoring the genocidal killing of Palestinians.

Tunnels or Hamas using the biggest and maybe only hospital Doesn't justify the bombing of the hospital while people still getting treated from other bombing..

Let’s be accurate here. Thousands have died in Gaza as a result of this conflict, but Israel clearly did not kill thousands at Shifa Hospital.

You're right, the hospital bombed itself.

Hamas surrenders, releases hostages and it's done. But Hamas is the one pushing this war and they're using the suffering of their own people to push propaganda - and people like yourself support their efforts.

If Hamas surrenders, Israel will simply compete the genocide they're in the middle of.

[–] teichflamme@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

They have literally no chance to win while causing great suffering on everyone around them.

I don't know how a sane person could advocate for HAMAS to continue their terrorist actions.

Alas Lemmy is a shitshow in this regard. Not sure if Reddit is the same but the vibe here makes me barf

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Nobody is supporting Hamas. They're saying that there's no justification for the genocide that Israel is engaging in.

It doesn't matter what either side has done when the response is to murder children. It's all unjustifiable.

Reddit is a Zionist mouthpiece.

It is certainly better to kill Israeli soldiers than it is to not kill them. Peace has been tried for over 30 years, but Israel has refused. It's about time Palestine started fighting back. Genociders do not listen to anything short of warfare and terrorism.

[–] teichflamme@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Israel has refused? Israel is the one side that negotiated and offered multiple solutions to the conflict lmao

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Put yourself in Hamas miltant shoe. Mostly now had lost family members, living since born in a prison, you cannot go to sea, or cross to Egypt or even other part of the country.

What do you think Winning means for them ?

As opposed to the heavy resistance Hamas is currently putting up?

If Israel wanted a genocide they could easily accomplish it. They clearly do not. This entire line of argumentation is beyond stupid.
