    Can you seriously not understand that people have basic fucking empathy and don’t want children to starve? Families to be seperated by bombs?

    Yeah, Hamas is awful. The Palestinian people would likely kill me for expressing my gender in a way that is barely safe in the US. I don’t fucking care, no culture deserves genocide. That should not be considered a controversial statement.

      Hamas doesn’t give a single shit about starving children. Their leadership are old rich men living in comfort abroad.

      Nobody is arguing against stopping this madness, but you’re white washing history by making Hamas out to be the victim here. Fuck Hamas, they don’t care about Palestinians. Neither do Arabs or Muslims. Nobody despises Palestinians more than other Arabs. You’re being used to Stoke outrage. You’re pushing their propaganda that Hamas was a peaceful organization just minding it’s business

        Did I ever say that Hamas was good or ethical? Did I even say that I liked the Palestinian people? You are making the argument that an entire ethnic group should be murdered, abused, humiliated, and then dumped into mass graves because of the actions of a few assholes. That is what you are supporting. Look in the fucking mirror and realize that there is never, ever, under any circumstances, any excuse that you can use to justify what Israel is doing right now. The victims are the Palestinian people who are being fucking massacred.

        Uh… No. Their leadership has two sides: Leaders in Gaza who actually manage the organization and command the fighting, and leaders abroad who get funding and negotiate with Israel and other countries. What do you expect? For their Gaza leadership to just ride an airplane from Gaza airport and attend diplomatic meetings? Because Israel blew that up 22 years ago. Point is: To function as a resistance organization Hamas needs some of its leadership to live abroad out of Israel’s reach.

        Nobody despises Palestinians more than other Arabs.

        I hear this a lot but nobody really justifies it. As an Egyptian at least according to my experiences it’s very incorrect.
