Hamas said on Saturday its militants in Gaza were ready to confront Israeli attacks with "full force" after Israel's military widened its air and ground attacks on the Palestinian enclave.
Admittedly I just realized I misread the initial post I responded to. I thought it said, you can’t be pro-palistine without being pro-hamas. None the less, nobody’s have are clean in this conflict.
Right, which is why I think both sides suck. The gray is that there is a lot more history then the last couple of weeks. None of it justifies current actions, but it’s not black and white…
A stance of “Both sides are bad” is just a stance that favors the Status Quo.
The underdog needs the extra assistance, the superior doesn’t.
So for that reason I’m pro-Israel, don’t want either side winning, don’t want aid to either side, so that defaults to a pro-Israel stance.
I’m comfortable being labeled as such.
I get it. It’s a dirty situation with tons of gray area. I think Israel has the edge in higher ground, but every new article that comes out of their atrocities erodes away that high ground.
Sorry what high ground has Israel. Over the years they proved how morally corrupt they are. And the civilian casualties are way higher on the Palestinian side.
Checking the historical number of kids and women who succumbed on both sides is showing a terrifying trend.
This recent escalation just proves once again how bad they are.
What if I’m anti Israel and anti Palestine?
Maybe sit this one out
Nah, fuck both sides. Indiscriminate killing is indiscriminate killing. Hamas is bad but carpet bombing hospitals isn’t better.
So… why lump all of Palestine in with Hamas?

I’d say the children killed by both Israeli bombings and Hamas rockets are probably pretty fuckin’ clean.

Why lump all Isrealites with Netanyahu policy? Its a 2 way street
“It’s NoT iSrAeL iT’S jUsT nEtAnYaHu” smells very much like “It’s NoT rUsSiA iT’S jUsT pUtIn”.
Why stop there, it also smells like “it’s not Palestine, it’s just hamas.”

Like anti Israel (government and civilians) and anti Hamas (hamas and civilians) ?
Sucks to be you???
Or great because both will suffer.
Ideally nobody would suffer. Reality doesn’t work that way though, but that doesn’t mean I’m cool with genocide.
I like to describe it as I’m not pessimistic, just a realist.
The sad truth.
Believing both sides to be deeply flawed doesn’t instantly make you into someone who celebrates death!
Nobody cares you gonna die like all of us and your opinion will die with you.
