Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Hamas is causing it

[–] guriinii 35 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, nothing to do with military occupation, indiscriminate bombing, targeting of infrastructure, or Israel not allowing in aid.

It's almost as if two things can be true.

Hamas maybe started the latest conflict, but they're certainly not the ones that are continuing it at this point.

Huh???

Hamas has reneged on every agreement, cease fire, hostage swaps. They refuse a ceasefire right fucking now because the Hamas leaders refuse to walk away.

CAIRO, Dec 25 (Reuters) - Hamas and the allied Islamic Jihad have rejected an Egyptian proposal that they relinquish power in the Gaza Strip in return for a permanent ceasefire, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters on Monday.

Hamas is 100% continuing this war just like the IDF is, they are both disgusting.

All they need to do is give up the hostages.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah and then Israel can go back to their peaceful genocide right? I get it death is bad, but ignoring context (settler colonialism) to feel superior by saying both sides are bad is dumb. None of us can sit here and tell an oppressed people how to fight their oppressor.

Absolutely, however you’re being reductive here.

You forgot foreign leadership continuing to use the Palestinian people’s lives as currency for their operations and future plans.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Israel and Hamas, working together to hurt the Palestinian people.

That's how it's been since Hamas was founded with Israeli aid, and how it's been ever since.

[–] alvvayson 1 points 10 months ago

Hamas and Netanyahu are allies.

Dude, quit blaming one group of sociopathic religious/ethno nationalists. It’s like if two street gangs were having a gun brawl outside of an elementary school and you were asking which gang had the most legitimate grievances.

[–] NoLifeGaming 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, they're not the one blocking aid and bombing their own infrastructure and killing thousands of civilians.
