Maybe that is the reason why Hamas is acting as they do.
I thought it was more the whole decades and decades of genocide and stealing their homeland more than this specifically
this instance is confusing to me. Everyone acts as if they didn't know Palestinians are being genocided since +50 years, and as if all this fighting has no historical context
Well, and this might have been the straw that broke the camels back. It is no excuse for what they are doing, just a reason.
Are you suggesting that this justifies the killing and kidnapping of hundreds of civilians? Yes, fundamentalist Israeli settlers are a big part of the problem but this new level of terror won‘t help anybody
I never said anything about "justification". But it could have been the spark that ignited the powder barrel.
New level of terror? Is it? Or do you only care when the level of terror becomes slightly more symmetrical?
Apparently they've been doing this for a couple weeks :/
Wait, are you suggesting that a bunch of fundies, praying at a temple, is a reasonable excuse to target high populated civilian areas, to maximize innocent deaths? Oh and add kidnapping to the list too.
Oh noes, they "Stormed the site and prayed."
Better kill them all.
I never said it is an excuse. But it could be the reason. Learn the difference, it matters.
