I'm not sure how anyone is taking this as a controversial take. Logistically, practically, and the urgent bloodthirst for revenge make this fucking hard to do. But this seems to me to be a pretty even keeled non polarizing take on a complex situation where there is justification for military action against a terrorist group, and that military action must be measured against the safety and needs of a civilian population.
Because Israel already occupies Gaza and other Palestinian areas.
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, where the hell are you getting your information?
Israel still controls all traffic, imports, utilities, and ingress/egress from the area (if it didn't, they wouldn't have been able to cut off power, water, and aid). Israel "withdrawing from Gaza" doesn't really mean much unless Gaza has elected representation and can sustain itself.
It’s funny because your comment is literally meaningless. Which terrorist organization are you referring to? Hamas or Israel?
False. There are 2. One has killed about 1400 people, the other has killed over 8000 in the last week alone.
I don’t care what their reasons for killing children are. I only care that they are indiscriminately killing them. That makes them terrorists by any definition.
No. You shouldn’t care. Killing children makes you a terrorist no matter what. There’s no justification. Especially not as disproportionate retaliation.
Israel has been subjugating Palestinians for almost 80 years, literally funded Hamas and called them a necessary evil, and is now currently in the process of creating and recruiting the next generation of terrorists. Israel, as a government, is more of a terrorist org than Hamas is.
Why? Because it's true? If you think Israel is justified in what it's doing to disproportionately kill this many people and children, then surely you have to agree that Hamas and Palestinians (in whatever group they form) are they also justified to retaliate against Israel since Israelis are killing innocent civilians... You'd be a hypocrite otherwise. Death is death. Genocide is not justified here.
What nonsense. You just ignore the last 80 years because Oct. 7th is an easy date for you to remember or what?
If Israel has a right to respond, then you're a hypocrite for saying that Palestine doesn't have a right to respond to the last 80 years. This is why they're both terrorists. Both of them are literally trying to achieve their ends via terror.
How naive. Why did the Palestinians decline the proposed agreements? It’s not “their own state” if Israel still has control over their utilities, travel, supplies, and economy.
Ok. So you have no idea what you’re talking about… Thanks for confirming.
How would you know that they’re misused when Hamas has never had control of those things? Israel funded Hamas. Hamas’ entire demand from Israel is self-governance and an end to their occupation/subjugation.
