This whole thing is so fucked up. I understand why those families are upset, but preventing other innocent people from getting medical help is just revenge for an act of revenge for an act of revenge for… oh.
Propoganda works
They are okay that the IDF killed 3 captives waving flag, another in a tunnels, a few in bombing in gaza, and many other in cars going back to gaza with their captive, along with a few more cliamed to have been used as human shields.
But aid going to Gaza cannot happen.
It's inhumane, but not sure I'm allowed to say that, I'll be accused of you know what.
No man, don't both sides this. There is a clear and unequivocal genocide taking place as we speak, and those who are going to sit on the fence really need to look into their souls.
I get it if you don't give a fuck. I get it if you want to wipe the rag heads from the face of the earth, but I will never understand the "both side-rs"
Slight correction: the overwhelming majority of the Palestinians senselessly killed in this genocide are innocent civilians, many children. They aren’t inhumane radicals, they are purely victims of Israel’s genocide.
I don’t justify violence against innocent people.
Who currently have operated Gaza as an open air concentration camp and implemented a system of apartheid. Hamas in not "inhumane" they are a correct reaction to a population besieged by the world's new Nazis backed by a capitalist world order.
Until Israel is wiped off the map, no one will be safe from their holocaust on the Palestinians.
Don't coddle people, I condemn those who condemn Hamas.
There are more than two sides, and a lot of innocents dying. Mostly at Israel's hands.
One can say all are dying due to Israel as their policy of settler-colonialism and apartheid have fueled the violence. History didn't start on Oct. 7th you know.
Even so, the answer to two children fighting on the playground is DISTINCTLY NOT to rush in, fail to stop the fight, and start asking, "okok who threw the first punch?! We're selling the other guy a gun."
This whole situation is beyond pathetic.
Thats the US and the West, many in the global south actually aren't heavily invested in the elimination of Israel. China has called for a ceasefire and an establishment of a Palestinian state. South Africa has already filed a lawsuit against Israel with many countries following suit.
It is only the western liberal democracies that facilitate the violence and bloodshed. Not to mention propelling islamophobia and antisemitism (Israel is inherently antisemitic). It is only the western countries that are unable to act maturely.
This is not two children fighting you liberal pig. It is a simple history of settler colonialism of one party against the other. Israel is a crime against hummanity since even before its illegal creation by Europe.
Framing it as a petty fight is disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Let's not forget who started all this. I don't think Hamas will be eager to parade dead women on their cars anytime soon again.
Uh... Israel in 1967? Israel in 1949? Zionists in 1917? Israel in 2005? Take your pick.
There are three sides to this conflict, not 2.
I dont think its for revenge. The idea is to hold off all aid to pressure hammas to release the hostages. They will never release them as long as aid and food and medicine is going in.
Calling Palestinian civilians animals and refusing to allow them food and medical supplies isn't going to improve the situation. What do you think is going to happen? Is Hamas going to say "oh guys, I think we made them mad this time. Better release the hostages so they don't do anything violent!"?
“Calling Palestinian civilians animals” so basically you are just inventing stuff I never said.
I was referencing Israel's official comment on the matter from the article. This is what you're defending by supporting Israel in this situation:
With 25,000+ lives taken by Israel, many of them women and children civilians, you can't make the argument he's not talking about treating civilians like animals.
There you go. Dehumanizing Palestinian people. Claiming you don't mean all of them doesn't make a bit of difference. There are lots of really horrific people, but they're still human beings and we must not forget that. Using your language to claim otherwise is how this genocide is being allowed to happen. You're literally using Nazi language. You're disgusting.
The thought process is that hammas is the governing body of Gaza and is responsible for its civilians. It would be in his best interest and its civilians to just return the hostages. Otherwise how would you put pressure on hammas to give back the hostages?
What should be done in your opinion for hammas to return the hostages safely and alive?
Hamas offered the release of the prisoners in exchange for permanent ceasefire ages ago. Israel refused because it would rather genocide Palestinians than get its prisoners back.
This is not to mention that what you are describing is a crime against humanity and an act of genocide.
You know that collective punishment is a war crime, right?
It's actually the occupying force that is responsible for the wellbeing of those it colonized.
