WASHINGTON, D.C. – After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.

      You pro-genocide, Israeli apologists wankers are the worst.

      “Booo hooo, the poor Israelis systematically displaced and subjugated an entire population and that population is fighting back? What nerve, the Palestinians should all die quietly so “settlers” can move into their homes.”

      You’re really just the worst people. I’d say you’re less than people but that’d make me just like the Israeli government.

      Ah yes, the two options, genocide or be genocided.

      Benji wants Hamas to exist so he can tighten his control over Israel. He knows perfectly well the way towards eliminating Hamas is by removing the motivation to join a terrorist group. He knows perfectly well forcing Palestine to be a shit hole and killing Palestinians with little regard for who is and is not actually Hamas will only encourage people to join and oppose the IDF. Israel needs an enemy for Benjamin to justify his hard right authoritarian policy at home, and he knows perfectly well how to keep them around.

      You mean like living under an occupation in an apartheid state?

      Hamas began twenty years into an Occupation enforced with direct and systemic violence, with the goal of ending the occupation.

      Collective punishment has been a deliberate Israeli tactic for decades with the Dahiya doctrine. Violence such as suicide bombings and rockets escalated in response to Israeli enforcement of the occupation and apartheid.

      But is Israel giving any reason to keep a peaceful behaviour in the region? They have more than a choice, and they chose the worst one yet.

      So, do you think Hamas is going to disappear after leveling whole cities? Or thar they need a specific general to land succesful attacks? Neither of those. They need hatred and a general idea of an enemy. And they’re giving them both.

      Secondly, Hamas is a loosely organized movement with multiple faces, they can afford terrorist attacks without harming their reputation, but Israel is a democratic state, they can’t do what Hamas did without harming their relationship with other countries on the long run. They cam burn bridges whereas Hamas never had such bridged in the first place.

      They need to move better if they want to survive as a state and as a democratic entity. Think before you act. The trace of destruction that they’re leaving behind may have been, in fact, forseen and understood by Hamas.
