    Freedom fighters don’t massacre civilians.

    Freedom fighters don’t take civilians hostage.

    Freedom fighters don’t parade their victims through the streets.

    Freedom fighters don’t rape.

    Hamas are terrorists. The fact that the IDF is also guilty of those things does not change what Hamas is, and it does not justify what Hamas does.

      If you have an issue with something Palestine does in defense of itself, blame Israel for forcing it to desperation through decades of genocide.

      If they could afford the tanks and advanced missiles that Israel throws at them I’m sure it would look more even. But since they can’t… They do what they must. A kid dies? A tragedy to be sure. But blame Israel for making the situation so. And know that so many more Palestinian children were brutalized and killed.

      There are no civilians in israel, all of them are settlers so killing them, parading them, taking them hostage doesnt bother me. You dont want to be killed? great dont steal someone else’s homeland because it was promised you 3000 years ago.

      If you are under siege and your homeland is stolen your people live in big prison camp with blockade and you get bombed randomly ofcourse you will foster hate and when that hate comes out it shouldnt be called terrorism

      As far as r@pe goes they might have committed some of them, altho there is no concrete proof that they engage in mass rape atrocities.

        You’re aware that the current year is 2026, not 1948 right? The vast majority of Israelis are not settlers who moved there, they were born there.

          So what? occupation doesnt become moral if you survive one generation Also all israelis are bound to serve in IOF meaning almost all of them are terrorists
