    If Israel really wanted protection they would offer a peace treaty and guarantees to not take any more land with Gaza if Palestinians handed over every member of Hamas for prosecution / imprisonment / execution.

    But they want that land so they don’t care how many civilians deaths it takes, they like having Hamas there because it provides them excuses.

      Seems like you like having Hamas there because it gives you an excuse to attack Israel. You’re literally supporting terrorists who would kill you without hesitation.

        This is a catastrophically bad take on what they said. Condemnation of Israeli war crimes does not equal antisemitism or an endorsement of Hamas. You can abhor Hamas and Israeli war crimes at the same time, the two are not mutually exclusive.

        But I suspect you already knew that.

          The comment I was replying to literally said Israel was doing all this so they could take the Gaza land from the Palestinians using Hamas as an excuse. That’s not condemnation, that’s inventing a reason to hate Israel.

        Bibbi outright said Hamas was good for Israel. It’s hilarious you’re calling people sheep when you buy every single piece of propaganda coming from Israel. History matters, context matters. Don’t have an open air concentration camp outside “your city” and your neighbors would like you better. Stop excusing war crimes cause the perpetrators are on your side.

          They’re not arguing in good faith, they’re just trying to recontextualize the argument to you defending Hamas and then equating that israel’s response is a just and proper revenge. There’s a bunch of accounts pulling this same shtick all over lemmy recently.

          Ah, Israel made the terrorists and it’s Israel’s fault the terrorists attack them. And, what? Israel should allow the terrorists to exist because it’s Israel’s fault? You realize you’re excusing terrorists that would kill you without hesitation? That’s what you’re defending.

              It is sad, what Hamas did to Israel. Brutalized children. Raped parents. Uploading it to their Facebook. Do you demand Israel continue to live that way? Do you demand they live under 100s of rockets per day launched at them? Because the alternative is dead Palestinians?

          Did he? Or did Israel try to provide humanitarian aid that was then stolen by Hamas? Which was it?

              That’s a nice article. It doesn’t matter what Netanyahu did or supported, because fundamentally the terrorists are responsible for their own actions. You can’t say Israel gave money to Hamas, so it’s Israel’s fault they were attacked. Hamas is responsible for deciding to carry out the attack, no matter who they were taking money from. That’s how responsibility works. And, because of what Hamas did, Israel is right to defend itself.
