• Understandable. Adding it was kind of a knee-jerk reaction after seeing someone unironically refer to hamas as “freedom fighters” and now it stays to show people not everyone shares their opinion on gaza. It can feel like An echo-chamber in here.

    By no means do I think Netanyahus modus operandi is appropriate for this century, that’s not what I carry this flag for.

      Umm nah please don’t do that.

      Israel (as in the state, not the civillians living under them) is practially doing the same thing as what Hamas is doing, terrorism. Both are terrible groups. I don’t know which one is the worse one, but if someone claims one of them is “freedom fighters”, supporting their opposition isn’t helping whatever your argument might be.

      • I strongly disagree with you on that. Israel has a right to self defense. While the means might not be adequately / appropriately humane, saying they’re the same is like saying thw US are the same as the Nazis for bombing Dresden.

        One is the aggressor, the other is not. We can gladly diacuss the means (again, fuck metanyahu and his seemingly complete disregard fpr human life) but that doesn’t change the fact tht one side wanted a war and the other was forced into it.

        Plus the fact that wiping out Hamas will create an opportunity for lasting peace between Israel and Palestine (whether united or split into gaza and westjordanland) while not wiping it out will just make history repeat (or rhime) itself in a few years/decade(s)

        Netanyahu should be sent to Den-Haag, but Hamas needs to be wiped out anyways.
