    Yeah bro, those dead Gazan kids agree with you. The Israelis seem pretty indiscriminate. Hamas was too, which is why the whole situation makes me sick.

    Should Hamas be hunted down like dogs? Yep.

    Should you blow up hospitals to get at them? Nope.

    Should you kill 10x the civilians your attackers did? Nope.

    you’ve got to be a gymnast to land the mental backflip to suggest that Israel’s response is reasonable. If the tables were turned, I’d be just as outraged.

      No, you don’t get it. You know, there’s all these details and context and it’s so much more complicated than that. To put it the way you did is just so simplistic and misses the point. /s

        Let’s rewind to the part where you look at why they are mortal enemies, and realize that the same problem is still happening in the West Bank at the same time as the mass murder in Gaza.

        Don’t intentionally drive them out of their homes in an ethnic cleansing and steal their fucking land and kill them off every couple of years like ‘mowing the grass’.

        Maybe don’t slaughter them when they try non violent protests.

        Maybe don’t have an apartheid state that south Africans that suffered under an apartheid state described as being worse than South Africa.

        Oh, while we’re on that topic, maybe don’t give weapons to south Africa when the rest of the world is boycotting them for their evil, or test nuclear weapons with them?

        Maybe don’t try to ethnically cleanse your neighbors?

        Sadly, I know all of those were apparently too much to ask.

        What Israel is doing to Gaza is terrorism, and I don’t believe that you always come down hard on terrorism.
