I swapped the original article at the request of a mod to from a source deemed more reliable, but to avoid confusion when reading the comment section prior to this edit, here is the link to the original article. I chose the Relief Web source listed by some who commented. Cheers!
Hamas is shit for putting terror and attacking Israel above taking care of their own civilians. Israel is shit for mass-execution of innocent civilians.
They’re both shit, but we all know this will only end with Israel exterminating an entire population, which is even shittier.
The reason Hamas is in existence is because their peoples’ homes being taken and the Palestinians being killed constantly, for years. What would you do if your nation has lived in their land for ages, and a people came and took your family homeland and killed your family, and took neighborhoods and whole swaths of areas, then penned you up so that you couldn’t exit or enter your country without their permission…don’t you think you’d rise up with some other warriors to do something, anything? That’s what Hamas is. It is not a terrorist organization to go out and cause terror and trouble. It is the fighting representative of a beaten people.
Did you not notice the events that started this recent shit? Hamas certainly engages in terrorism, as does the IDF.
There’s an old adage that one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.
Allowing a label to dictate your view of the events is naive at best.
I always say “if you look at it from the current government point of view, Luke Skywalker was just a terrorist.”
Darth Vader blowing up Alderaan with the Death Star was justified self defense.
Uh, it’s a nice saying, but it’s not really that true. There are some defining differences in terrorists and fighting a war
Anyone or government can call an individual or group “terrorists.” To the British, American revolutionaries were terrorists. Every movie you’ve seen where the hero fights back against an evil government is a terrorist. Jason Bourne is a terrorist.

Did you not notice the giant wall around Gaza and the starvation and israeli bombing of their infrastructure before October the 7th?
Are you gonna call the Ukrainians terrorists too for blowing up the train track that connects Russia to China?
Good analogy.

Yeah, people should’ve figure out by now that in dimensions of their murdering, the disparity of strength (and hence of responsability in their use) and the moral standards expected from the dictatorial resistance movement of a long occupied land vs those of a supposedly Democratic nation (and Israel has long leveraged their image as Western-style Democracy all the while the place turns out to - surprise surprise - culturally be yet another of the racist theocracies so common in the region), Hamas is to Israel as a flea is to a rabid dog.
Everytime anybody goes “yeah, but Hamas” they’re doing the propaganda game for Israel.
We’re way beyond a proportionate response by this point and into the style of “payback” the Nazis did in France when after being attacked by the Resistance Française they would go to a French village and chose and kill 10 people for each German the Resistance had killed.
But it is a both sides situation. Both sides have the same goal. Externinating the other. One side is just much more powerful.
Yes I’m sure all those dead little girls just wanted to exterminate the Jews.
But the dead Israeli babies DO want to exterminate the Palestinians? What a weird point you’re trying to make.
Yeah you could make the same sarcastic remark that way too

It’s overall an awful situation, there isn’t any “both sides” because both sides are shit and would happily genocide one-another. One side just happens to have the means to actually carry out that genocide, making them especially more shit.
What’s the morally correct thing to do: Am I supposed to put a Gaza flag on my social medias and gush about how Israel is terrorizing and destroying them and say that I stand by Hamas? I already shit on Israel because of their genocide. However, Hamas would (once again) do the same exact thing if given the chance.
Specifically picking a side is stupid because if Hamas could, they’d do the exact same thing.
It really muddles the reality of what is happening.
Technically, Hamas aren’t Palestinian in origin to begin with, they’re from a group that once controlled Egypt and their power over Gaza Strip was maintained by the Israeli Government via various means including directly being funded by them and neighboring nations. So, it isn’t their people. The don’t give a fuck if Palestine faces genocide, never have.

Nah bro Hamas is an organization. From Egypt.
That’s like saying any socialist country is necessarily Prussian
The Society of Muslim Brothers who controlled Egypt in the late 60s formed a charity in Gaza Strip in 1973 called Mujama al-Islamiya Islamic who then became known as Hamas in 1987.
You’re an absolute idiot if you think those two organizations are completely unrelated.
No one said they are unrelated.
So you legitimately think every socialist country is essentially directly caused by Prussians? That’s your take?
I would suggest you read it again.

If Greece sent radicalized people to the USA and created an explicitly radical Greek organization a few decades ago and somewhere inbetween they changed their name, then yes it would be exactly like that.

[citation needed]
The Society of the Muslim Brothers first founded in Egypt in 1928 was able to establish in the neighboring nation in 1973 as Mujama al-Islamiya Islamic charity affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which later became Hamas in name in 1987. They also were the most prominent political group in Egypt from 1967 until 2013, when their president over Egypt was overthrown.
Hamas is from Suuni Islamist Egypt, for Suuni Islamist Egypt.
Yeah but that doesn’t support your claim.
My claim is that Hamas’ Origins were outside of Palestine, that Hamas doesn’t give a fuck about Palestinian Genocide. I gave you a concise uncontested timeline of their formation. Maybe you’re just too stupid to get it.
If that was your claim then you phrased it quite poorly. You said they aren’t Palestinian in origin, which is blatantly false. I reocmment you rephrase your original comment so that the rest of us stop misunderstanding you.
The only solution I see is to build a wall around the whole area and just waiting for the shooting to stop eventually.
