    Man what a terrible choice of words.

    By your standards I could provide a counter argument like: Has any Israeli launched an unprovoked attack on Palestinians and kidnapped 300 of them?

    And then I sit on my biased moral throne and feel the meaningless superiority of my argument

    Reality is not black and white. Both sides are bad

    Hamas launched a horrible slaughter of civilians. they knew it would have consequences. The IDF would obviously retaliate but they are using too much force and causing extreme suffering

    This war should stop as soon as possible. There is nothing to gain in prolonging this conflict

      Both sides are bad yada yada yada but only one side is a colonial ethnostate that is committing genocide. Let us not forget.

        As another comment noted. If Hamas had more firepower they would use more firepower.

        They are not morally Superior to Israel.

        Hamas started a conflict with an obviously more powerful military. They knew there would be consequences but they still chose violence over diplomacy. Obviously diplomacy in the middle east is terrible but I would never think that attacking civilians is a viable alternative to diplomacy.

          but they still chose violence over diplomacy.

          Look at the PA and tell me that diplomacy with Israel works again.

          I agree Hamas are idiots. But they cannot be blamed for the constant human rights violations of Israel. I don’t think many people here (IF ANY) think it was acceptable for them to attack civilians. Usually attempts to shed light on the crimes of Hamas are meant to divert the attention from the ongoing holocaust that Paleatinians are forced to go through on the hands of the IDF.

          Ps. Diplomacy was never a viable option with Israel. They never make concessions or reasonable demands. So you can just forget about that weak point.
