      Are you saying it’s okay for israel to use starvation of women and children as a weapon of war?

        I support Israel almost to a fault. At this point, they need to make sure everyone is fed. This has went on way to long for the size of Gaza.

          You’re beyond fault at this point, my friend. You’ve gone straight into supporting genocide territory! Major fault x 10000. Turn in your humanity card because you’re no longer acting with any.

            You must have missed what I said.

            I clearly said it’s gone on to long and the people need to be fed.

              But you said you support Israel to a fault. And at this point, what Israel has been doing for a really long time is starving and murdering Palestinian people. So it can’t be both. You can’t both support the oppressive genocide state and not support them. Because their actions right now are exactly what you say you wish weren’t happening. That’s nowhere near good enough. Because…we’re talking about fuckin genocide. Continuing to support the Israeli state is supporting exactly what you are saying has gone on too long.

              “I support Germany, but I think this whole concentration camp thing has gone on too long.”

              Do you see how ridiculous that is?

                They have been dismantling Hamas which I fully support.

                  If you really liked the idea of eliminating, say, gangs in the US. And I did that by carpet bombing all of LA — or, shit, even if I just limited it to south central—would you still support me? What if, as I did that, I was shooting families that I’ve trapped in south central, that have nothing to do with gangs, would you still support me then? What if I deliberately withheld food and water, medical supplies, and what if I and the entire apparatus was talking about those families as if, “well, they live there. And it’s a gang stronghold, so they are complicit, they’re animals, and they deserve to be shot like sick dogs.” Would you still support me?

                  But even ignoring alllll of that inconsistent logic, the most outrageous is the idea that this campaign is “dismantling Hamas.” That’s not the case. They’re mostly killing children and non-combatants. Literally 60% of the victims are civilians. Not to mention, this campaign is not eliminating Hamas. it’s actually Increasing support. Because of fuckin course it is. When your family is being killed and your neighborhood is being bombed out of existence and you’re being herded and slaughtered, you’re going to support whatever is fighting against the force that is doing all of that.

                  I don’t particularly like Hamas either. They’re a right wing religious extremist group. But Israel has actually made me see them entirely differently now. Because they are now freedom fighters against a genocidal, occupying, settling force. How anyone can see it differently that doesn’t actively think of the residents of Gaza as less than human, like I’ve seen countless IDF soldiers expressing, is just baffling to me.

                    Get off it dude. Gangs in LA didn’t dig 450 miles of tunnels in an area only 25 miles wide and use them for decades to launch tens of thousands of rockets indiscriminately at civilians, dozens of suicide bombings, and now Hamas’s new tactic, mass shootings of civilians.

                    If the gangs had done that, and the people of Los Angeles kept electing them into power, before canceling all elections, that is, yeah, we might consider targeting those tunnels with full force.

                    Dude, that is a long response when you could have just said you don’t mind the genocide of the Jews. That is what Hamas wants and the Palestinian people voted them in power. Since their goal is genocide, you seem ok with that and I’m not. As such I don’t see having a respectful conversation with someone who supports genocide against the Jews.

                  All Israel needs to do to dismantle Hamas is to stop the weapons embargo for Gaza. Let the people there get rid of Hamas themselves.

          A good way to make sure everyone was fed would be not oppressing them for decades. For example, attacking fishing vessels, and blockading them entirely since 2007.

            The blockade started because they voted in a group that wanted to genocide all the Jews. Maybe if they would stop trying to kill Jews, things may change.

            Sounds like you are victim blaming.

              It’s a complicated history but even the Hamas Founding charter, which is certainly unreasonable in its fundamentalism with Sharia Law and is antisemitic, does not call for the extermination of all Jewish People. That’s a lie, and also intentionally ignores the 2017 Revised charter. Check Article 7 and 13 of the 1988 Charter to see yourself, compare it to Article 20 and 24-26 in the revised version too. Hamas has committed atrocious acts, there’s no need to make things up about Hamas to show they’ve done terrible things. Ending the occupation and having a Palestinian election for the Palestinian people to choose their own leadership is the way to diminish support for Hamas and other Armed resistance groups. Further terrorizing the West Bank and Gaza will only increase their support, which has been shown historically not only within the Occupied Palestinian Territories but throughout history.

              The Blockade, described by the Israeli Defense Minister as a ‘total siege’ long before 2023, was a strategic decision in 2005. What do you think of the ethnic cleansing campaign of 1947?

              Oh, then why is the West Bank also blockaded? That’s not governed by a ‘group that wants to genocide Jews’. You zios logic is full of holes trying to justify your fascist shit hole committing actual genocide and ethnic cleansing.

      If they do, will Israel withdraw from Palestine, rebuild what they’ve destroyed, and stop oppressing Palestinians?

      They will not. So why would Hamas surrender?
