      Is it really cheered?

      Most people only agree that the murders on civilians started by Hamas were absolutely horrible and unnecessary. As for what is coming after I don’t think normal people are happy about either.

        All western mainstream media and western governments are firmly supporting Israel. So, yes the west is actively endorsing genocide here.

      Both sides are murdering countless innocent civilians. This whole situation is horrible. There are no winners in this war.

        I’m still baffled by what Hamas was thinking this thing would achieve. It’s giving Israel the excuse to completely wipe out Gaza. It’s one thing to destroy the wall and attack a military base, but murdering entire villages was only going to have one outcome. It’s like they wanted the opposite of Palestinian liberation.

          It’s not for you to understand. You’re not there. You’re not suffering it, you’re not fighting it, you’re not analyzing it to save your life and your nation, you’re not planning it, you’re not preparing for your own death and ensuring it’s worth it.

          Stop passing judgment based on whether you personally have the ability to figure out what specific strategy they are motivated by and start passing judgment based on the structures at play here.

          Hamas made a choice. It’s time for us to either support Israel or support Palestine. Condemning Hamas to the degree that we do not render them aid means supporting Israel. Allowing Israel to fight Hamas means supporting Israel. The atrocities can be sorted out in The Hague next year.

        Uh… Israel is killing countless people. Hamas is killing countable people. There is no comparison. It is completely lopsided. The fact that you don’t understand that indicates for everyone around you where you get your (did)information from.

    This is barely even a “formality” before a massacre. Israel was looking for an excuse to go all out without any restraint and they got it. It’s fucking tragic that these bastards are playing with civilians lives. Fuck both authorities.

        It’s a war between genocidal terrorists and apartheid colonialist fascists, with a massive civilian body count on both sides. Can’t we all just be sad about dead kids instead of being cheerleading freaks?

        edit:

        Y’know, I though this @ name was familiar and so I figured I’d take a look.

        Israel is genociding and colonising Palestine since about 80 years. Ukraine was genociding Donbass for 8 years.

        … yeah, I’m not sure I’m really going to take him seriously on his opinion on geopolitics. Blocked.
