    I mean, it’s really both. Hamas is batshit crazy, they’re just far less militarily powerful.

    There are no good guys in the Israel Palestine fight.

      If one stops trying to subjugate the other, the other should hopefully slowly start to be calm down about the subjugation.

      Years and years of people stealing land, burning houses, shooting unarmed protesters and prosecuting people unfairly only leads to more hatred, more conflict, and more war.

      If there was any chance of a free and fair election in Palestine that could elect something else it would be good, but only would end up different if it came without Israel’s interference and them actually staying out of Palestine. Governments like Israel and the U.S. or U.K. trying to put anyone on the ground there is more likely to cause conflicts. Where as if the UN countries all agreed to cut all trade with Israel if they didn’t stop trying to instigate shit… Israel would likely listen, or dissolve over time if they didn’t. The only people who should be on the ground there is investigate journalists and AID from around the world to help those people rebuild and leave whatever can be left behind them behind them

        Honest question:

        Why are the US and other countries, backing Israel so hard? I’ve heard they have an amazing spy system, and it seems to be only politicians that back Israel unconditionally. Is it blackmail, keeping our fuck ups as status quo, or maybe “Hamas is evil no matter what?”

          No, it’s cultural affinity (polite way of saying racism) and economic interests (polite way of saying colonialism).

          Same reason why the entire western world was fully supportive of South Africa during Apartheid

            It’s also propaganda, AIPAC has been pushing the idea of Israel devotion for decades in the US. I’d imagine there’s similar lobbying groups (in less obvious forms) in other countries as well.

      What? Hamas’s position of “give us a Palestinian state and we’ll give them our weapons” is very reasonable. Their lack of respect for civilian lives is one thing, but “batshit crazy” ain’t it. Why do you think they’re batshit crazy?

          This isn’t 2005, where things are either newspapers or blogs. Welcome to 2025, where entirely online media organizations exist.
