    I feel for the Palestinians, but Hamas is to blame. They knew what the response would be, yet they decided to savagely attack Israel.

      Both sides elect people that are OK with their people dying for their own government policies. One attacks to oppress an apparant enemy, the other attacks to free themselves from oppression. They are not the same, yet innocent people suffer and die because of both.

        Meanwhile all citizens just want to live their lives in peace.

        It really is tragic and frustrating.

      Would you choose a slow guaranteed death through oppression or risk a possible quick death for a better life for all your family and friends?

      I’m asking you. Not your opinion of a whole population. I’m asking you. Imagine yourself in that camp, being bombed daily. What do you choose to do to survive and thrive as a human?

        There was no guaranteed death, things were very difficult and would have continued to be for a long time. At least there was hope.

        Now there is a guaranteed death, thanks to Hamas.

        “for a better life” in this case the leveling of the entire Gaza Strip and the obliteration of ANY hope of self governance?

    It is good to show solidarity with Palestinians - it is not acceptable to cheer for Hamas on the other hand.

    If you are able to differentiate between Hamas and the Palestinians and Israeli government and Israeli people your moral compass still somewhat works.

    Protest for Palestine: They throw you in jail

    Protest for Israel: giant thumbs up meme

    Anyone not seeing the colonial world order as fascist at this point is well beyond redemption.
