    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.

        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.
