GAZA CITY, GAZA—Following conflicting accounts of a horrific attack on a Gaza hospital, officials from the Israeli Defense Forces released a new statement Wednesday that claimed it was you, the reader of this very article, who committed the act of terror.

    Did you even watch that video before linking it. It was just the typical “Israel says this, Hamas says this” shallow reporting with nothing but superficial analysis. It even concludes by saying that it is still unknown and that expert analysis is required - meaning it hadn’t been done yet or they were unaware of it.

    I support the Palestinian cause - insomuch as that cause is freeing the Palestinian people from Israeli oppression. I do not support the Hamas cause, of “Destroying Israel and establishing an Islamic theocracy in Palestine”. That is their stated goal.

    It’s not “both sides” to accept the reality of the situation. It’s two groups that want to annihilate each-other. The difference is that Israel has all the power and, instead they chose to provoke this conflict by continuing to steal land and treat Palestinians like prison inmates. Oppressive regimes always lead to conflict.

      Your proof is a fucking vlog. You have cited nothing except the Israeli narrative and your hemming and hawing doesnt take away from your total unciritcal support of Israeli lies

        It’s a pretty solid blog, and the blog references evidence you could look up yourself. It may be a blog, but that’s way more evidence than anyone else here provided.

      This is you, 42 minutes ago:

      both sides are terrorists

      Anyway, I’m done. Enjoy being a stooge for genocidal powers you say you don’t support. If this were a post on my home instance I’d be a lot more rude right now; as it is, all I’ll say is that this experience, for me, is best encapsulated in this emote:

      wall-talk

        Both sides are humans therefore both sides are exactly the same, right? The words “both sides” don’t by themselves indicate that someone is asserting equality. Both sides literally are terrorists. Both sides are not equally to blame for this conflict. Both sides are however responsible for their attacks on civilians.

        Be rude as you like, but it won’t make you any smarter.
