    Same bullshit logic that helped many support the genocide of those “barbaric” Native Americans because some actually had the gall to attack the colonial invaders.

      I wonder how few will draw some of the parallels of the colonial expansion in Australia and the West in general.

      I love the types that say others should go back to where they come from ignoring their parents and grandparents were not that far removed from the boat that brought them here.

      Then they don’t want to acknowledge that these groups were probably not that thrilled at being slaughtered and their kids taken away from them to make way for their colonial ancestors.

      It’s a amazing trait to me that humans can hold such diabolically opposed ideas as the same truths for them.

    I get what you’re going for but if you want to be realistic, the hostage taker wouldn’t be surprised/upset in the third panel. Israel is undoubtedly committing war crimes but Hamas has made it pretty clear they don’t give a shit if Palestinian civilians die.
