He's spamming the same comment because people are jumping to the same conclusions.

What people like you fail to understand is that there is no 'good guys' in this war. What we have is a Freddie vs Jason scenario: two terrorist organisations fighting each other and killing civilians indiscriminately as they go. Did Israel hold Gaza under Apartheid like conditions? Yes. Did they end up inadvertently creating Hamas? Yes. Did Hamas ever need to target civilians? No.

With how bloodthirsty and indiscriminate both sides are, it really could have been either one that blew up the hospital.

What I've seen in this thread is people asking for evidence. If it really could have been Hamas or the another Palestinian group, don't you think they'd be bombing the shit out of Israel? Until there's real proof one way or the other, all we have is he said/she said.

The accusation laid at the feet of Hamas appears to be that it was an errant rocket. And like you said we have zero evidence one way or another

Even to say they are both bad guys gets you downvotes on Lemmy.

Eh. Doesn't bother me. In the words of Rick Sanchez:

"Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer."

Yes, show us that you base your moral compass on what a narcissistic and just generally bad person who is a CARTOON

Who said anything about basing my morals on Rick Sanchez?

My point is, if you're going to downvote me for calling both the Israeli government and Hamas terrorists, then at very best you're looking the other way when one of them is committing their terrorist atrocities. Which I find utterly reprehensible. Therefore I don't care what you think.

Which is exactly what Rick Sanchez is saying in that line.
