    No, that wasn’t missed. Israel has willingly created the environment where these sort of uprising occur. I don’t support killing random civilians, but under the current system, it’s what’s bound to happen.

      Ideologically I’d rather Hamas weren’t killing civilians but materially theres no realistic way to avoid it considering the conditions they’ve been reduced to. They do not have the privileges of high precision modern technology, and Israel has been using civilians in its war on Palestine through aggressive settling. Civilians deaths became an inevitable result of Israel’s policies.

        I think it’s completely fair to take a trump style, “they knew what they signed up for” position on settlers. They chose to kick palestinians out, steal their homes, kill their children. Turn-about is fair play.

            Go cry crocodile tears for settlers somewhere else, I sure as hell don’t give a shit. If they didn’t want Palestinian heroes to take back what’s theirs, they shouldn’t have stolen it in the first place.

            Damn shame their filthy settler parents put them in that position. Hamas isn’t going to give up just because the occupiers brought their kids.

            You’re talking about theoretical children dying when israel already routinely kills palestinian children and use them as human shields. Live by the sword die by the sword.

        I generally agree. I dont celebrate it. I might even “condemn” it if anyone gave a shit what a random on the Internet thinks, and if I could do it without empowering israeli propaganda, but neither of those things are happening so who cares?
