        It’s the level of pacifism any westerner gets on as soon as the oppressed fight back. These galaxy-brained “all sides bad!” posters would rather the oppressed just follow Gandhi’s advice and do their enemies job for them.

          Imagine understanding the difference between murder and warfare

          Not to say that Israel isn’t comparable to nazi Germany, just that the mindless violence of Hamas isn’t a solution that will lead to anything other than more genocide…

          If Hamas had kept to military targets there wouldn’t be the same backlash. You can’t say it’s the “oppressed fighting back” when they’re literally just murdering civilians at a music festival.

            How are guerrilla fighters with far inferior numbers, technology, and funding supposed to target military and government sites and not get wiped out within a week?

              The same way they did this, except instead of killing hundreds of civilians, they attack militarily important infrastructure and government posts. Almost like there’s clear intention that Hamas is set more on collective punishment for the Israeli people than actually accomplishing jack shit for the liberation of Palestine.

              Maybe not make civilians your primary target?

      Alternatively you could attack the nazi government without attacking the citizens. Similarly Hamas could attack the Israeli government instead of citizens. Israel is absolutely comparable to nazi Germany, but that doesn’t justify the abhorrent actions of Hamas in any way. It turns out that when you offer genocide in the opposite direction as a solution for genocide, nothing happens except for the deepening of dividing lines…

        ok, so Israel should have to allow Hamas to get precision guided missiles so they can target the Israeli government instead of civilians.

          Last I checked, massacring a music festival has nothing to do with targeting the Israeli government…

          There are situatikns where Hamas clearly cannot target the Israeli government (like their missiles). Others in which they clearly choose to target Israeli citizens.

          Believe it or not, I disagree with the Israeli blockade of the Gaza strip. I just don’t believe that mindless violence is justifiable, nor that it will accomplish anything except ensuring more innocent lives lost.

          For the record: if you downvote without responding, you’ve lost the argument…
