    There are quite a lot of palastinians here mate. You should really visit Palestine when you get a chance… the amount of people chanting death to the Jews is kind of absurd.

    Please try and check out some telegram groups or sites like Funker etc for leaked footage. Hamas holds them hostage during the knock-off alert. IDF doesn’t target civilians explicitly. The nuances of this war are a bit deeper than what we can convey in text here.

    Also see that Israel has asylum for gay/trans people fleeing Palestine or middle east. My point being, Israel does try to be as humane as possible in this war, but some horror stories about Hamas (and other terrorist organisations) are really depraved.

    I support peace. That is all. No more bloodshed.

    Edit: I forgot to add this… when I said perspective, I’m talking about perspective on life. Not in this war or religion or anything else. Just living and life in general

      How can you possibly say this when the number of people Israel has killed dwarfs the number of people killed by any Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas or otherwise?

      I support peace too but one side of this equation is tipped so far that it’s hard for me to take anyone seriously that claims Israel’s goals are anywhere near the vicinity of “peaceful” or “humane”.

      That being said… stay safe. I can’t imagine the situation you’re in.

      I mean, ya, there’s a lot of Palestinians there. That’s because Israel took their land. There’s also a lot of black people in South Africa, even during apartheid, too. But tons of them were still pushed off their homes into tiny strips of land in Gaza and the West Bank, so now the majority are in those other places. The same thing happened to the natives in the US.

      IDF don’t target civilians explicitly but they also don’t seem to care about them. They’ve killed thousands more civilians than Hamas has with the barest of excuses, all to find Hamas not really caring about collateral. That’s what happens when you drop bombs all over the place. And the fear and terror and horrible quality of life causes things like Hamas. Hamas sucks, I’m sure they would kill more if they could, but Israel has the power in this relationship. When non-violent protests lead to killed or getting your knees blown off, or to nothing at all (like most protests for Palestinians have been for the last near century), when there’s no hope or chance of growth, the average is 18 and you’re probably never going to grow old or successful, then people turn to monsters like Hamas.
