    I see ads in TV that are pro Isreal now with Santa crying because of Hamas kidnapped people. I know it’s what about ism but not really moral high ground here when IDF literally wipes whole familes.

      Its not what-about-ism.

      Being accused of attacking civilians and saying the enemy is attacking civilians to divert attention is what-about-ism.

      Crying that the enemy is attacking civilians while you are also attacking civilians is hypocrisy.

      Calling out your own/allied government for attacking civilians and trying to hold them accountable even if the enemy attacks civilians as well is being a good person.

    A lot of comments are saying that hamas hides behind civilians but from what I see and read hamas and civilians are a melting pot that is interwined due to the extreme oppression in gaza strip. Any palestinian civilian could understand and help or even just not condemn totally hamas due to their conditions and prolly Israel gladly label as hamas any slightly suspect palestinian top

      Though You’re mostly right, it’s missing a key part: the Israeli government has actively worked to make it this way, sponsoring Hamas with money and help because they wanted this. If you have an extremist organization so intertwined in the civil population, you can just go and murder them all.

      Hamas is evil, but the Israeli government is arguably worse

    At what point does this go from being a counter terrorist operation to a genocide?

    “with Palestinian authorities reporting that 250 people have been killed”

    Palestinian authorities (at least in Gaza) = Hamas. But I’m sure they have no reason to lie.

    Only 250 Palestinians in 24 hours? ngl, that sounds like rookie numbers for Israel.

    Come on guys, the Holocaust was proof that one can do better! Don’t aim to just be equal to the nazis, Israel; aim to surpass them!
