im gonna make this really simple cause its pretty fucking easy.
there is no context that justifies what hamas did. at all
I never said there was context that justifies Hamas targeting civilians, but let me make this really simple for you: The way Israel treats Palestinians in Gaza makes violent uprising inevitable.
And no, I cannot blame the Palestinian civilians there for supporting Hamas. They've been living under generations of oppression. They vote for Hamas because as horrible an organisation as it is, they know Hamas has been fighting tooth and nail for their liberation from Israeli oppression. They have actually traded blows with Israel and continue to do so. When you're under that level of oppression, that's all that is needed to justify that level of support.
That picture just shows a map of the ottoman empire
what, send soldiers in with the specific aim to kill random palestinians going about their day? Im not going to bother arguing because frankly you have to be a complete brick to make that sort of a case
