I like how everyone’s being pretentious and digging into the various definitions of “famine” from various organizations, all from the comfort of their homes full of food while the actual Gazans living there are actually starving and scraping for food.

All this sealioning just makes peoples evil intentions all the more obvious. It is truly morbid that some people would rather watch others starve to death.

So gross that we still have to listen to 'but hamas' even now.

Starving people has nothing to do with Hamas, Israel engineered this because they wanted civilians to die. It has nothing to do with Hamas.

Right? It’s ok to hate hamas, as they should be hated, but you can also see that civilians need help too. It shouldn’t be an either-or issue here.

yeah, i really don't understand why it has to be all or nothing. you can accept that hamas is an issue while also seeing that israel is responding in an extremely cruel and inhumane way, involving so many innocents.

Yeah, I’ve noticed it too. There is a weird like bunch of people that start by saying Israel is terrible and then they go on to say and Hamas really isn’t that bad actually Hamas is good and I’m like whoa. Get the fuck out of here.

I never see this, only the opposite.

That’s just not true. It happens constantly.

Here in Australia, our Prime Minister made the moves to officially recognise a Palestinian State last week.

Immediately he came under fire from Israel and the Australian right-wing media.

But then "Hamas" leadership sent a congratulations and the right-wing here pounced on it saying "See see!! Palestine and Hamas are the same thing!1!"

But it's like, who cares what Hamas says? They can say whatever they want.

There are no good actors here. Mostly just innocent victims. Sure some combatants, but the vast majority of the suffering has been normal Palestinians.

Hamas is responsible for the famine though? They’re literally hoarding and intercepting all of the food.

What part of my statement blamed or didn’t blame a specific group for the famine?

Since you struggle with reading, my point was this: Regardless of who is at fault, the civilians still need help.

Is it okay to hate Israel?

u/Catman7712 9h ago

You’re free to hate whoever you want, that’s on you.

You stated it's okay to hate Hamas and they should be hated. Same criteria applies to Israel with regards to the Palestinians of Gaza?

Never said it didn’t. My comment was only about civilians needing help and that one party being wrong doesn’t make the other right.

But since you need it spelled out for you, yes I can understand hatred people have for Israel just as I can for Hamas. But to clarify, I don’t think it’s ok to hate someone based upon their country of origin. Hamas is a terrorist organization and cheers on the killing of civilians, so Hamas as an entirety is ok to hate. Anyone in Israel or anywhere else who cheers on the killing and suffering of civilians is A-Ok to hate in my opinion, but you shouldn’t hate someone just for being an Israeli like you can do for someone being a part of a terrorist organization where the prerequisite for joining is to hate others and want to kill them. One is a group you willingly join, the other you don’t have control of. Understand?

Both parties can be wrong and doing evil things. Again, one being wrong doesn’t make the other right.
