    They can’t really help Israel killing hostages in airstrikes.

    How about not fucking kidnapping people and taking them hostage? “Oh we can’t help if people die while we keep them imprisoned in our hospital fortress while we keep shooting thousands of rockets at Israel.” Fucking ridiculous

      I’m not defending their actions, but under their circumstances it isn’t surprising they behaved how they did.

          It’s almost as if it’s a cycle of violence. Maybe both parties could make some progress towards peace if they’d just stop killing each other’s children.

            Yup. Alternatively build a giant wall to separate them so they cannot hurt each other for a few generations and then try again.

        Then there’s a “fuck around and find out” kinda thing happening, no?

        Israel shouldn’t stop until every member of Hamas and Hezbollah are dead. The people of Iran and Palestine would do well to put them in the crosshairs.

        You just can’t hold Hamas accountable, it’s all Israel’s fault for using force. Somehow it’s not Hamas’ fault for committing the act of terrorism and war crimes that lead to this situation in the first place. It’s like blaming someone for shooting a home invader who planned to rape and kill your family. It’s not the homeowners fault they had to shoot them, it’s the rapist/murderer’s fault for being there.

        That being said Israel’s government is just as violent and bloodthirsty as radical islam, they’re just supported by the West due to Zionism and the idea that “might makes right” means the Israelis are able to commit any atrocity and get away with it because they’re “gods chosen people.”

        What bullshit, fuck the both of them. Abrahamic religions have been holding humanity back for thousands of years.

        Why did they murder, rape, and kidnap? Because they’re terrorists. That’s what terrorists do.

          So it has nothing to do with the thousands of Palestinians held as political prisoners, the hundreds that Israel had murdered just this year prior to October 7th, or the well-documented and internationally condemned acceleration of illegal settlement creation and expansion? They just hate Israel’s freedom? Is that it?

              Not a single person from that event is alive in Palestine today. To use a hundred year old event to justify contemporary genocide is disgusting.

                This is a reply to your ‘they just hate Israel freedom’ comment.

                In regards to Hamas Israel’s short term options are to either let Hamas kill Israelis freely or to cause massive damages to their military capabilities while getting Gazans killed.

                There is no magic wand to wave that will prevent the lose of life. Hamas is a fanatic religious group, that will always work towards Israel’s destruction. No matter the cost.
