-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Ideologically I'd rather Hamas weren't killing civilians but materially theres no realistic way to avoid it considering the conditions they've been reduced to. They do not have the privileges of high precision modern technology, and Israel has been using civilians in its war on Palestine through aggressive settling. Civilians deaths became an inevitable result of Israel's policies.
I think it's completely fair to take a trump style, "they knew what they signed up for" position on settlers. They chose to kick palestinians out, steal their homes, kill their children. Turn-about is fair play.
It doesn't end conflicts. All it does it forment it another generation. The 12 year old who's never lived outside of Israel in their entire life doesn't deserve "whatever they get".
Go cry crocodile tears for settlers somewhere else, I sure as hell don't give a shit. If they didn't want Palestinian heroes to take back what's theirs, they shouldn't have stolen it in the first place.
Damn shame their filthy settler parents put them in that position. Hamas isn't going to give up just because the occupiers brought their kids.
You're talking about theoretical children dying when israel already routinely kills palestinian children and use them as human shields. Live by the sword die by the sword.
I generally agree. I dont celebrate it. I might even "condemn" it if anyone gave a shit what a random on the Internet thinks, and if I could do it without empowering israeli propaganda, but neither of those things are happening so who cares?
