Yes. The child is punching up does not justify the act of punching. The optics of the power dynamic simply mean the thirty-five year old the worst of the two because they're punching down.
The child is only doing anything because of the adult.
In no situation is the child to blame, you can explain why what they did was wrong but if you don't acknowledge the circumstances of how we got here you're being all sorts of disingenuous.
The fact is Israel is wrong here and there's nothing else to be said. Hamas is a force of desperation, why are they desperate?
I can acknowledge the circumstances that have created this... thing, and still blame the child because none of it absolves them from their actions. Like you said, what they did was wrong. Are we just supposed to ignore the fact that they did was wrong simply because next to them is a bigger asshole who is also doing wrong things on a greater scale? I don't think so.
Israel is wrong here, but it doesn't mean Hamas isn't also wrong. Hamas is not a force of desperation. Hamas is just a militant group that uses the desperation of others to further their goals. The ones being desperate are Palestinians, they've done nothing wrong and they shouldn't be blamed. Hamas can fuck right off alongside Israeli government.
Well then you are a fool and your logic is the same reason why people hate zero tolerance policies, because they're stupid and weak and do nothing but protect the school (state) and continue an abusive system. Good job at being terrible at understanding context or anything complex.
Hamas literally wouldn't exist if Israel didn't act this way for decades and also DIDN'T FUND THEM. Did you know that? Israel funded them? Crazy.
You're clueless.
If you go to a zoo and taunt the chimpanzee and he bites your finger off. You'd blame the chimp.
If you chose to strip down to your undies and skinny dip in sub zero temp and then died of hypothermia. You'd blame the weather.
If you saw radioactive material beside your morning coffee, drank it and died. You'd blame the fabric of the universe for letting radiation exist.
None of that makes sense. Hamas shouldn't and wouldn't be in power if not for Israel.
This is 100% on Israel and saying anything else just exposes your misunderstanding of power dyanmics.
Bro, that's some fucking unhinged shit. You need to take a step back and reevaluate your life if you get so worked up over someone not 100% agreeing with you. We both agree Israel is the main culprit here. I think we both agree that Palestinians are the victims here. The only thing we don't agree on is whether Hamas is right or wrong. I'm happy to agree to disagree because quite frankly I don't give a shit about Hamas. Hamas is just pawn. If Hamas didn't exist it would be the Islamic Jihad and if they didn't exist it'd be some other militant group from Gaza that gets funded to be the black sheep.
No I don't need to at all. Your type of view on this situation is the problem.
For decades Israel has been called a "complex issue" and it just isn't complex. Hamas wouldn't exist without Israel literally. Israel is committing actual legit genocide and has been. There is nothing complex here. Israel is the only bad guy here. Hamas is nothing here but a pawn for Israel.
I know you aren't stupid but read the conversations happening sometimes here. People pull this both sides shit and it just doesn't help, doesn't explain the situation better only gives Israel a way out to say "well it isn't ONLY us being bad right?"
No both sides shit on this one. Israel is trash and if they don't stop this shit / make it better they should be treated as an enemy to mankind just like the Nazis, just like the Turks for the Armenian genocide, just like China for the many genocide they push and just like America and France and Britain and Russia and the rest of the Imperial fucks. This shit seriously needs to be united against 100%.
What you're doing is saying Native Americans scalped people so they're evil but never questioning why was there conflict in the first place.
Alright, enjoy your insanity. Bye.
