        This is a case where given the circumstances they absolutely are the good guys. They’re the only ones resisting the ethnic cleansing and war crimes. It just looks horrifying because the media considers the lives the colonized to be less than worthless so when they shoot back it’s seen as a massive act of aggression when really they’re just doing a fraction of what’s been done to them for the last decade.

          Why can’t people just look this stuff up. Hamas is not Palestine. They are a militant group created by the UAE and possibly Russia to further their own goals in the region and world. The people of Palestine, actual Palestinians, are victims of both Hamas and Israel and the world needs to stop blaming them for this.

              When more than half of the population of the Gaza strip are children and the elderly, any voting is just not legitimate. It’s like saying China runs fair elections.

              That approval rating has only gone up as the violence against them has ramped up. I think it’s in the 60s now.
