    Is hamas hiding behind the weak and innocent for cover or is Israel just doing hitler shit?

    Don’t answer if you aren’t there rn. It’s easy to armchair coach.

    Wait, yesterday I saw a link here that said “IDF guns down thousands”. Does anyone know what actually happened there?

      From the looks of things, the IDF laid a trap for Palestinians.

      The IDF promised food aid to the people they’ve been starving for the past few months (and keeping on the brink of starvation for the past 17 years)

      The crowds gathered, waiting for the food aid to trickle out, when the IDF opened fire with vehicle mounted, heavy machine guns. Over 100 people are dead, and something like 750 were wounded.

      Here’s an article about it.

        IDF gains nothing from killing Palestinian civilians, so this seems highly doubtful.

            Strawman: IDF is committing genocide.

            Steelman: Hamas tries to maximize civilian casualties to generate international outrage.

            Truth is probably somewhere between these extremes. I’m leaning towards the steelman argument but not heavily.

      The Israeli extermination force started firing indiscriminately at a crowd of thousands of unarmed starving people killing hundreds and wounding hundreds more.

      There will be no consequences. Israel is continuing to exterminate Palestinians with approval and supplies from America.

        Stop voting for political parties that send taxpayer money to Israel.

        People, set a few red lines and make these a criteria for who you vote for.
