So to be clear, you are saying Israel has done nothing improper over the last 2 years in its actions towards Palestinians?
"pretty reckless" is something you might say about driving while intoxicated, not sure how it applies to a large scale, protracted military operations.
What "settlers" thing are you referring to?
Hamas was formed in 1987, are you suggesting Israel has done nothing improper since then?
So one doesn't justify another, but then you try and justify it by saying it's quantifiably fewer wrongs... What on earth are you quantifying? Lives lost. Freedoms lost. Land lost. Quality of life lost?
You are deluded if you honestly believe the current Israeli leadership and that of the IDF has no ill will towards Palestinians or Muslims.
I'm more than confident the world knows what Hamas is. But Bibi's government has innocent blood on its hands and they aren't being held to the same derision. There are Israelis murdering Palestinians for land and they aren't being brought to any justice.
I don't believe that you don't hate Muslims or Palestinians. You sound like a white American saying "I'm not racist but..."
This fake narrative that everything Israel does is self-defese is getting old. You can't claim self-defese if you make the first strike. Imagine trying to explain to the cops that you killed the intruder 500 km from your home in self-defense... That's basically your idiotic argument.
Assassination doesn't sound very self-defensive...
Nowhere did I said it's not morally justified. I said it's not self-defense. And it's not.
And you seem to be keen to pretend that Hezbollah is the only party here firing the rockets. Israel fired rockets into Lebanon for years too and murdered a lot of civilians. Killing fighters be it IDF, Hamas or Hezbollah is one thing, killing civilians is another. If you can somehow justify to yourself killing children, you are a monster.
Their coverage is biased, but it's factual. And the fact that you dismiss it just shows your own ignorance.
Your garbage article is probably the worst piece of writing I read this year.
So using children as soldiers is bad, but killing children is good. Yeah, there is nothing more to talk about with someone like you.
So did Hamas
