    The reason Hamas is in existence is because their peoples’ homes being taken and the Palestinians being killed constantly, for years. What would you do if your nation has lived in their land for ages, and a people came and took your family homeland and killed your family, and took neighborhoods and whole swaths of areas, then penned you up so that you couldn’t exit or enter your country without their permission…don’t you think you’d rise up with some other warriors to do something, anything? That’s what Hamas is. It is not a terrorist organization to go out and cause terror and trouble. It is the fighting representative of a beaten people.

      It is not a terrorist organization to go out and cause terror and trouble.

      Did you not notice the events that started this recent shit? Hamas certainly engages in terrorism, as does the IDF.

        There’s an old adage that one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.

        Allowing a label to dictate your view of the events is naive at best.

          I always say “if you look at it from the current government point of view, Luke Skywalker was just a terrorist.”

          Uh, it’s a nice saying, but it’s not really that true. There are some defining differences in terrorists and fighting a war

            Anyone or government can call an individual or group “terrorists.” To the British, American revolutionaries were terrorists. Every movie you’ve seen where the hero fights back against an evil government is a terrorist. Jason Bourne is a terrorist.

        Did you not notice the giant wall around Gaza and the starvation and israeli bombing of their infrastructure before October the 7th?

        Are you gonna call the Ukrainians terrorists too for blowing up the train track that connects Russia to China?
