    Take that sentence, replace Israel with Nazi Germany or apartheid South Africa, if you still don’t see an issue go get fucking institutionalized

      I think comparing Israel to nazi Germany is outlandish nazi Germany is a genocidal maniac and while Israel is simply trying to protect themselves for Hamas they wanted a war they got it

        Israel is also a genocidal maniac, every country except the United States already knows this, every international body knows this, and yet I come here and see shit takes like this

          There’s defending yourself, and then there are war crimes. The government of Israel has stepped so far beyond the line that someone would have to either be supporting their crusade or burying their head in the sand to think they’re not genocidal maniacs.

          We have:

          • Bombing refuge areas after suggesting civilians go there to avoid the conflict.
          • Flattening hospitals.
          • Soldiers pretending to be doctors.
          • Soldiers assassinating targets in hospitals.
          • Sabotaging support from international humanitarian aid organizations.
          • Destroying civil infrastructure.
          • Killing children.

          I’m sure there’s plenty more that I missed, too.

        And all the starving and maimed and killed children in Gaza are/were of course Hamas, right?

        Honestly, Netanyahu is building the future of Hamas, because any who survive this slaughter will never forget it. Even the families of the hostages have called for a ceasefire, but Israel would rather kill the Israeli hostages than free them.

        Yeah because Israel is somehow even fucking worse than them. Immediately after becoming a state they start to oppress the palestinians, then they fund and support hamas untill they get a reason to level the Gaza strip.
