Treat people like animals for decades, it's no surprise how they act. Israel is at fault for both sides deaths.

[-] qdJzXuisAndVQb2@lemm.ee 42 points 1 year ago

No. Humans are more than their base instincts. Hamas should not have murdered civilians. Israel should not be abusing Gazans. Both are true at the same time.

"It is hard to remember that people can be both victim and perpetrator at the same time."

We try often try to assign one group as the good guys and the other as the bad guys. It doesn't work like that.

God especially on the internet, can't have any nuance about "well you're right, but that doesn't mean personal responsibility just ceases to exist" it's just "You're as extreme as me or you're on the other side"

[-] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Palestine isn't Hamas. Hamas doesn't represent all of Palestine

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It does however represent the group that killed 1000+ people, mostly civilians, with no clear goal beyond their stated desire for Jewish extinction and radical islamic Sharia law to be spread as far as possible.

Palestine in general being a victim doesn't automatically make Hamas the good guys or their specific actions acceptable.

[-] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That doesn't mean you get to glass Palestine. If people really cared about dead babies and a death toll then they would be against Israel doing this.

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I didn't say it did, though I suppose that goes for what I said as well.

[-] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago

Right, but more than one thing can be true at once.

[-] undef@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Get yourself a lesson in History and don't just repeat the old antisemitic bullshit story.

Are these numbers civilian or combatant's deaths/injuries? What was the background? Who attacked, who defended itself?

You know, numbers without context are nothing more than numbers.

As I said already, get some lessons in History.

KTHXBYE

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Can you provide any sources to assist in this history lesson you want people to have?

[-] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Seems like a fair and balanced fight

[-] iforgotmyinstance@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Jfc the irony in your comment

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 21 points 1 year ago

I personally don't like this "one site bad" thing(in this conflict at least). Of course, in terms of killed persons Israel is the bad guy, but also the things the Hamas did are pretty fucked up. I personally came to the conclusion that both sides are bad, Israel is allowed to defense itself against this brutality but shouldn't take the opportunity to absolutely fuck Palestine again(what it sadly does). I'm not for Israel or Palestine. I'm for the civilists and human rights.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

You have to look at it in terms of power dynamics though. Israel is a uS backed settler colonial apartheid regime that propped up Hamas because they would rather face Islamic fundamentalists then socialist opposition. They're either directly or indirectly responsible for all of the violence.

Only one side could hypothetically end the violence tomorrow.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 15 points 1 year ago

No, no, it's heroic when Isreal does it

I'm not going to sit on a platform that has this low bar for dumb "memes" and world views with that high upvote number.

[-] akhial@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago
  • Leave home
  • Go Palestine
  • "Balfour declaration bitches"
  • Kick people out of their homes
  • People mad
  • "Oh no help meeereee"

Israel isn'treal.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah this meme doesn't work for Hamas.... the person being shot isn't a child.
