Being pro Palestine is fine. Being pro Hamas isn't. Hamas are the reason for what is happening in Palestine today.
Dear me what?
Do you think if Hamas hadn't butchered 1400 innocent Israeli's that Israel would have still gone into Gaza the way they have? Do you think 30,000 Palestinians would have still died since last October if Hamas hadn't attacked israel? Innocent Palestinians have died and it all stemmed from that terrorist attack last October. Hamas knew how Israel would respond and didn't give a toss.
I think the issue is that you're tacitly absolving Israel of any blame. There comes a point where a response to an attack becomes disproportionate and then becomes completely criminal.
If I went up to someone and punched them in the face, and their response is to kill me, then kill my entire family you could just as easily say "Well it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't punch him in the face."
This admittedly crude analogy also doesn't take into account any historical context of the nature of the dispute I may have had with this particular person.
Point is, most of us can agree that Hamas are *****, but also can we not pretend October 7th happened in a vaccum.
Debateable, but they have 100% taken advantage of it and used it as a pretext to do what they've wanted to do for years.Inflamed, it was a massacre by Hamas. As I said on another thread I had hoped Israel wouldn't respond the way they have. There wasn't much chance of that though. Do you favour the conspiracy theory that Israel let it happen, wanted it to happen?
