This is just thinly veiled pro Israel propaganda. One side bombs innocent children, the other is trying to hide and flee.
I'm all for the Palestinian people getting their freedom and lives back and stopping the Israeli government dead in its tracks if not replacing it, but I'm not going to pretend that Hamas is innocent. Just because the Palestinians are victims of the worst crime of this century, doesn't mean the governing body that rules over them with an iron fist is good.
Nuance people, NUANCE. Condemning Hamas is NOT the same as endorsing Israel's actions, and certainly not the same as saying "genocide is fine".
Eh? You know all Hamas has been doing for the past decade is yeeting unguided missiles at Israel. Sometimes they land in Gaza and kill Palestinians, most of them get intercepted, occasionally one makes it through and lands on a random building. That is the definition of an indiscriminate terrorist attack. It serves no military purpose whatsoever. If Hamas had the firepower they would kill every last Jewish person in Israel.
I never knew there were so many Zionists on lemmy. Sad.
Lol that's a take for sure. Funny that this is on a post about trying to have nuanced discussion. I guess calling Hamas a terrorist group makes me a zionist, since if Isreal is bad Hamas must actually be good.
Obviously the sides aren't equivalent, but it's true that not all Jews support Israel and that pro-Palestinian activists aren't generally antisemitic.
I think you're misinterpreting it. Every Zionist is pro-genocide, but obviously not all Jewish people.
