    It’s hard to not let your emotions take over, but Hamas only exists because of the hatred of Israel.

    Hamas exists because Israel doesn’t want Palestines to exist.

    Terrorist organisation typically don’t continue to exist for extended periods of time without external assistance.

      This is silly, not mentioning Iran as the actual people training and funding Hamas is either very deceptive or evidence you have no idea about anything happening in the middle East.

      Also acting like Hamas are the only terrorist organisation in the middle East and a total novelty is absolutely absurd, when people call them freedom fighters without any reference to what they’re actually saying they’re fighting for is again totally deceptive or from a total lack of understanding - they don’t want freedom they want a theocratic dictatorship and death to all non Muslims.

      That’s not too say everything Israel have done of good or moral but painting Hamas as innocent people just fighting for their freedom is laughable

        Oh blah blah blah, this whole situation is alot simpler that Israeli defence Muppets like.

        Israel is NOT a poor developing nation. Their military is on par with the UK. Their economy is doing fantastic. Quality of life in Israel is growing.

        Israel wether you like it or not are always going to be the bad guys in the situation simply because they should know better. They have been taunting, attacking and murdering Palestinians for 70 years. The only countries other than Israel that are to blame are the US and the UK.

          So being successful when everyone is trying to kill you makes them bad but rich countries like Iran failing repeatedly to complete the genocides they fund makes them loveable roagues who can do no wrong?

          You’ll excuse me if I don’t subscribe to your philosophy of life.

            Because you’re acting like it’s an army Vs an army, it’s not it’s an army Vs civilians

            No, it’s when you keep trying to slaughter Palestinians for colonial and racist reasons and succeeding at it continuously.

            Israel is a country where Palestinians queue in cages and are strip searched only to be humiliated.

            Fuck Israel today and every day until it stops what it’s doing.

      That’s what I said:

      They are a creation of the Israeli apartheid regime’s own making when they were hoping to destroy the credibility of the PA, to perpetuate their colonialist narrative. Hamas and the Israeli apartheid are two sides of the same brutal, inhuman coin.
