I understand where you are coming from but attacking civilians is not self defense in any sense of the word.
Tell that to all the nations lining up to call Israel bombing civilians self-defense.
Funny how that works isn't it? Israeli leaders have lots of political friends in the west, and Palestinians don't. Look who comes to the instant defence while ignoring the root causes of the attack to begin with.
Totally agree. The West is too invested in Israel, always has been. An ethno state is never a good idea.
And I would because that is also not self defense. Everything happening in Israel right now and the past decades is 100% the fault of Israel and it's appalling that they are just getting away with war crimes. That said, attacking civilians does not help the Palestinians.
How do you regain access to your border without attacking it? How do you think Israel started enforcing that border blockade? They killed the palestinians there. Israeli politicians arent gonna waltz up to the border for hamas to attack instead.
The common thread of all the attacks is they were all immediately on the border, like some within just a mile.
Yeah, Israel set up neighborhoods as a human shield, the policies of Israel are absolutely evil and shouldn't be allowed. That being said, Hamas attacking civilians does nothing to help Palestinians.
Doing nothing does nothing to help palestinians. Protesting does nothing to help palestinians. Humanitarian efforts do nothing to help palestinians because israel blocks them out. At some point theyre gonna lash out for survival.
And attacking Israeli citizens gets an instant genocide.
They already were being killed off.
Love how its hiding behind children when israel kills the children bombing deep into Gaza, but heinous killing of innocent civilians when Hamas attacks the very edge of Israel.
