    Where is the (so-called) "free world"? They're the ones handing Israel the funding that paid for all those bombs and shells they're dropping on you, chief. That's where the (alleged) "free world" is at.

    I became a father in December of 2019. I can't imagine the grief those parents have to endure. I don't care who they are, where they come from, or what they believe in, children are innocent and I grieve with those parents and mourn those babies and children lost. Fuck, I'm so tired of this shit...

    Remember when bourgeois media was trying to justify Israel's actions based on a picture of dead infants that doesn't exist? This time it's actually real, but something tells me they don't care about it, for some nebulous reason us-foreign-policy

      There is no moral or legal justification for what Israel is doing right now. And the Palestinian people have a legal and moral right to resist their occupation by whatever means they decide, according to the UN charter and international law. Israel has turned Gaza into an open air concentration camp. It is one of the most densely populated place on earth and half of its population are children. Israel has laid a complete siege to Gaza for 17 years, sniping civilians and paramedics from towers and bombing it every few years. It forcibly relocated people there and it controls nearly everything about Gaza, its water, food and electricity. The conditions that are there are Israel’s fault, and Israel is openly committing an ethnic cleansing with US support. Israel blames Hamas, but Israel literally funded Hamas and tried its best to dismantle every other political organization in the Palestinian resistance. A leaked cabal to the US even said that they prefer Hamas win’s so that they can level collective punishment on all of Gaza by labeling it a hostile state.

      I always hear people in the US musing how they couldn’t imagine sitting idly by while the Holocaust happened in WW2, but now I hear those same people doing mental gymnastics to excuse some of the most horrible atrocities live on tv.

      Any thoughts on the decades of increasing oppression the Palestinian people have suffered or are you just pretending this uprising is happening in a vacuum?

      What is the permissible amount of violence with which to respond to attempted genocide?

      I hate to be callous

      Then don't be?

        After yet after 75 years of Palestinians being attacked and imprisoned and abused I don't know what Hamas expected as a response to this. Less attacks and imprisonment and abuse?

          Ignoring for a moment the right of an occupied people to resist their oppression: "Hamas" does not include all Palestinians or all residents of Gaza. There are innocent civilians in Gaza, and collective punishment is against international law.

          But back to that right: could you please point to an example of an oppressed people successfully freeing themselves non-violently?

            Not a single time in the history of anthropology has oppression been resolved "non-violently". Oppression requires violence and force to keep it intact. Compliance is required or they will make you missing sometimes even your family to reinforce oppressed populations consequences.

            Back in 2018 the world got to shake its head and move on as Palestinians marched in protest against the Israeli occupation. It was great target practice for the IDF as they got to shoot thousands of protestors, medics and journalists. Palestinians should keep doing this until the world shakes its head so hard that Israel will start feeling bad for killing people that they don't consider people.

          So they should just sit tight, right? Bombs are going to come sooner or later, no matter what happens inside the strip.

      You're talking about how Isreal has spent the last 50 years doing a large scale violent apartheid on the Palestinian people right? That's gotta be the thing you're talking about here, because anything else would frankly be ridiculous.

      Agreed. That's why Israel shouldn't be surprised that Hamas retaliated a couple of weeks ago after years of Israel's large-scale killing sprees.
