Palestine is the one doing self defense against Israel’s continued occupation and imprisonment of the Palestinian people.

Self defense isn’t bound by international laws.

Lmao that’s as wrong as you can get.
By your logic Russia is self defending by bombing Ukrainian Schools as well.
Get a brain.

That is a recognized fact.

Hamas attacking civilians is terrorism and IDF bombing civilians is also terrorism.

My logic says that both Israel and Russia are colonizing a place and should therefore not be surprised that they meet resistance from the people they occupy land from.
Your logic dictates that both Israel and Russia are just defending themselves.

Collective punishment, though, is. (Reports of cutting off all power/water to all of Gaza, if true, may be interpreted as such)

I don’t think thats intended as collective punishment, thats war.

You may be right… I don’t claim to know; sadly we may never know one way or the other… war does indeed suck. It makes me sad to think of all the people on both sides caught up in all of it.

Eh i mean most Palestinian people supported the terrorists and seeing that these people are literally shouting gas the jews in front of embassies around the world doesn’t exactly make them innocent either, like they want to commit a genocide, Israel just wants territory and peace.
Also my pity is further reduced by the fact that these religious nut jobs would kill me for being not straight…
