    How dare Hamas act out of desperation from the largest open air prison on Earth?!

    Writing strongly worded letters for 100 years while they were systematically deprived of basic resources, or mass voluntary Palestinian suicide because the world clearly doesn't value their lives, are their only acceptable options!

    In all seriousness though. You live in squalor, your children starve, and you see the children of your oppressors who actively stop resources from getting to your children having a lavish party. Do you just tell your children to die quietly so as not to disturb their children's lavish party?

    When you forcibly remove hope, vengeance becomes an intoxicating alternative.

    For the record, I think both societies are are backwards and built on savagery and ignorance, because both are willing to die, to deny rights to, and to kill REAL PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY EXIST for their equally moronic imaginary friends.

    Fuck organized religion. No amount of conditionial soup is worth this never ending murderous cycle of bullshit. No rational person cares if you want to pray to Pikachu at 2am every morning standing on one foot, stop making your rituals and superstitious nonsense other people's problems.

    • Quite disappointing to see kbin users attempt to justify

      a military blockade of people who use every weapon they can get to try to kill your civilians, and try to turn every resource they can get into weapons, is not "an open air prison." There are thousands of Gazans entering Israel every day due to Israeli work permits, medical treatments, refuge for gay people in Gaza (who are executed by Hamas). All in all, about 575,000 Gazans exited Gaza in 2022 by land borders, mostly through Israel since Egypt is generally fairly opposed to Gazans coming into Egypt. They won't let refugees into Sinai now.

      The heads of Hamas are billionaires and live in Qatar. They take every bit of aid that comes in and use it to perpetuate terrorism. The blockade didn't start until about six years after rocket fire, until after Israel left Gaza. Gaza hasn't been occupied since 2005.

      This whole "open air prison" thing is ridiculous. There's border enforcement because they use those borders to kill people. Israel controls their air space because they kill people by air. Israel doesn't like the terror tunnels because the terror tunnels are used to send terrorists in to kill people. If they want to be able to move freely, they should stop killing people in the places they want to move to.

      • a military blockade of people who use every weapon they can get to try to kill your civilians

        I mean that's just untrue, even accounting for the recent violence Israel has killed many times more civilians than Palestinians.

        "According to the United Nations, roughly 6,400 Palestinians and 300 Israelis had been killed in the ongoing conflict since 2008, not counting the recent fatalities"

        is not "an open air prison." There are thousands of Gazans entering Israel every day due to Israeli work permits, medical treatments,

        My man, that's not the brag you think it is. Allowing people to leave gaza to have their labour exploited isn't alien to prison systems, nor is administering medical care.

        The heads of Hamas are billionaires and live in Qatar. They take every bit of aid that comes in and use it to perpetuate terrorism. The blockade didn't start until about six years after rocket fire, until after Israel left Gaza. Gaza hasn't been occupied since 2005.

        And I don't really think many people are too concerned about protecting Hamas, they just don't want to be witness to a genocide because Israel conflates their actions with all of Palestine.

        This whole "open air prison" thing is ridiculous. There's border enforcement because they use those borders to kill people.

        I'm sorry, but if your country has killed thousands of people along that border compared to hundreds.....then it's not the Palestinians who are utilizing the border as a weapon.

        You haven't even established that the border has helped reduce the amount of people killed. If anything this week has showed us that militarized borders don't really do much but provoke violence.

        Israel controls their air space because they kill people by air.

        With what Air Force?

        Look, I don't think any reasonable person condones the slaying of civilians. That being said, I think the hamas attack was a foreseeable consequence of political blowback. The Israeli government has become increasingly right winged over the last decade, and have been advocating for human rights violations, the illegal colonization of homes, and have literally instituted an apartheid state.

        It's foolish to think that there wouldn't be a violent reaction when Israel has rejected all other forms of discord. Apartheid states will always create violence, the only people whom can prevent it are the ones who can end the apartheid.

  • "Harvard out of occupied Palestine"

    I was unaware that Havard had any form of military, nor was located in Palestinian land.
