    Yeah it’s so infuriating when people don’t acknowledge the very clear reality that if the shoe was on the other foot then the genocide would have happened long ago.

    Also this isn’t just Palestine it’s very clearly a lot of fundamentalist terror groups and countries like Iran. There are very real and scary threats to Israel, Hamas gets huge funding and help from so many places - which they use almost exclusively to build combat tunnels and rockets.

    It’s horrible for the Palestinian people but Israel isn’t the only one making their lives hard, Hamas isn’t about helping Palestinians it’s about hurting Jews and if their own people dying helps then they’re fine with it

      It’s horrible for the Israeli people but Hamas isn’t the only one making their lives hard, Likud isn’t about helping Israelis it’s about hurting Arabs and if their own people dying helps then they’re fine with it.
