    You’d be better off asking why Hamas started a war they knew they’d lose, why the prolong it in the face of their people suffering.

    Even better maybe ask why you support them? How have they made life better for their people? This situation was completely predictable and completely avoidable.

      You’re right, it was completely avoidable. Bibi could have followed through on all that intelligence telling him of a pending Hamas attack. Hell, he could have never funded Hamas in the first place, which is why they even have power.

      Completely avoidable.

        Pretty sure Hamas was democratically elected but if you need to shift blame back to Israel with some impressive mental gymnastics go right ahead.

        If you could put down your hate for two seconds it’s time to realise Hamas aren’t winning this and dragging this war out is just hurting Palestinians.

          Calling Hamas “democratically elected” is a huge stretch. Hamas recieved 44.45% of votes in the last election, which was in 2006. They are absolutely not in any way accountable to the people they rule. The average Palestinian has about as much chance of freeing those hostages as I have of breaking people out of Guantanamo.

      Or I could ask why they were being financed by Israel. Could I ask that too, couldn’t I?

        Thanks for being brave enough to focus on important questions like who funds Hamas.

        Too many people are getting distracted by silly things like humanitarian crises but you’re out here fighting the real fight!

          Oh yeah, Israeli governments sending tons of cash to Hamas is totally unrelated. That’s why you’d prefer to not talking about it. Not because it breaks the narrative of the poor innocent israel. Right?
