Get the fuck outta here you terrorist apologist fucking scumbag. PALESTINIANS have the right to self defense, but Hamas is a terrorist group that murders civilians. They can all burn in hell with Isreal's leaders.
"By a jew organization". Racist loaded fucking language there, buddy. You clearly hsve some biases yourself. And remind me of when Nelson Mandela murdered people fleeing for their lives?
You probably want to say Israeli or zionist not Jewish. There are a large minority of Jewish folks who want Israel to stop existing or at least stop existing as an apartheid state
Calling it Zionist would be the correct take. There are a lot of anti Zionist Jewish people and just regular folks who have nothing to do with Israel.
Hamas has been firing thousands of rockets at Isreali cities every single year since they came into existence, and Hamas' stated goal is the eradication of Jews. The only reason Isreali casualties aren't higher than Palestines is Isreal has the iron dome.
Hamas is a terrorist organization.
Hamas has been firing rockets into Israel since well before the current apartheid.
Israel gave land back to the Palestinians before, and the Palestinians just used that to attack from closer to Israeli cities. The Palestinians have never wanted peace.

that is the most laughably ignorant statement I've seen all day
Who started the 1948 Arab-Israeli war?
certainly not Hamas 😂
The Arab states. And said Arab states and Palestine have continually attacked Israel since. Hamas is the latest in a long line of Arab aggressors, and have been firing rockets at Israel for decades.
Ignoring the decades of Arab aggression as a direct cause of the current conflict is idiotic at best.
Portraying the Arabs as aggressors in the genocidal colonial project undertaken in occupied Palestine during the last 8 decades is racist and dishonest at best
The land has changed hands dozens of times throughout history, giving it to the Jewish people is no different from the Ottomans taking it, or the Romans, or the Greeks.
It is not Palestine, and has never been Palestine.
Meanwhile the surrounding Arab countries have vowed to genocide the Jewish people there. That is far more racist and genocidal.
you keep regurgitating racist propaganda
Palestine is the name the people who live there have called it in modern history. During occupation by the Ottomans and the British, it was a continuous population of the same people living there, no matter what it was called. This bullshit about the name and the idea that all Jews have a right to settle there and displace the people already living there just as much as the people already living there have the right to stay in their multigenerational homes is ridiculous. Do the Scots have the right to genocide away the French and take their land because it used to be Gaul in antiquity? The fact is that the current nation-state of Israel has, since its recent inception, been a consistently violent settler-colonial state. Starting with the Nakba, in which they "declared independence", killed thousands of their Palestinian neighbors, and displaced hundreds of thousands from 78% of the land area of pre-existing Palestine. And this was the goal from the beginning of the Zionist movement in Europe during the 19th century.
Israel is using terrorist means. This time we are the terrorists
No personal attacks please.
Good luck destroying terrorist apologists from your basement.
