    So you do understand that Hamas commited war crimes and that Israel did as well and that we should evenly condemn those that are killing innocent children and babies and not try to sweep that under the rug by using evasive language correct?

    Do not be one of those people who give any semblance of cover to Israel or Hamas.

    All you are doing is giving ammo to the people who love to point out such things to influence neutral people.

    Do not hurt the cause.

    Fuck Hamas and their kidnapping and killing innocents.

    Think about this, they could have freely returned any children the next day, or even at the first prisoner exchange for free to show everyone that they do not want to harm innocents in any way.

    How much of a moral standing and victory would that have given them?

    We could have pointed at every innocent child killed and say “Look Hamas is sparing the children while Israel continues to kill them. See what they are saying is true.”

    But they didn’t!

    The fucking cowards are continuing to hold children hostage.

    They aren’t any better, they just don’t have the ability to do it at scale like Israel.

    Fuck them both for every innocent child that is dead or will forever be traumatized by this.

      I don’t know what you think “the cause” is, or what cover you think I’m giving to Israel or Hamas. Israel understands that might makes right and that no one will try to stop them because the US backs them. Hamas understands that you cannot “moral standing” your way out from under the thumb of an oppressor because if the oppressor believed in “moral standing” then they would not be an oppressor in the first place.

      Morality is great, but material conditions do not care about your or my ideology.
