This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly
Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Ok but... Who attacked? Shure it was preventable and im definitely hating Netanjahu for not taking action before it happened, but the offense came from Hamas, they could have just not tried to commit a genocide. You cant push the blame of this on Israel regardless of if it was or wasn't preventable by a preventative military action, they are the victim of a attack. And a preventative strike would have resulted in basically the same, everyone blaming Israel for defending their civilians from genocidal maniacs.
In my opinion, they should absolutely have done a preventative action against that, but just like on "9.11" warnings where ignored for one reason or another, likely disbelief that hamas would be capable of pulling it off at all.
Well they were actually attacked from more than just Hamas, but it is Hamas that perpetrated the massacres. It doesn't help that Hamas took hostages. If there were no hostage-taking, none of this would be as messy as it is.
In my personal armchair opinion, I think Israel should've waited before immediately going for the hostages to get some international support. But then again, that's giving Hamas power.
Yeah Islamic jihad was there as well, but thats basically the little brother of hamas and a branch of Isis
And Israel did wait for a significant amount of time for that kind of problem. The remaining hostages are dead by now and they knew hamas isn't nice to them, there aren't any actual reports from freed hostages, because Israel is shielding them from everything and most are in therapy, but some statements where made, these include systematic rape, torture and more things along these lines.
Truly barbaric.
