This is what I don’t understand is so hard for people. It’s not like Israel has always been there, in that spot in in the Middle East, and that Palestinians teleported into Gaza and the West Bank unannounced one day. Gazans are basically refugees shoved in a tiny plot of territory carved out of what used to be their homeland, walled in, and brutally repressed for almost eighty years now. This doesn’t excuse Hamas targeting innocents, but it goes a very long way towards explaining why Gaza might be home to a hardline anti-Israeli guerilla organization that sees the lives of their own people as cheap and those of their enemies as valueless. That’s kinda the dynamic that the Israelis forced onto them, and now they’re all up in arms that Hamas is acting accordingly.
Don’t get me wrong, Hamas are still bad guys in this particular episode. But that sure as shit doesn’t make Israel the good guys. There are only villains and victims here.

Bombing hospitals and ambulance convoys makes you a terrorist

Do you not think the innocent Palestinians are terrified?
Justify the killing of innocent people by saying they killed one man makes you no better than the terrorists that started this latest conflict.
Before you inevitably bring up that well Hamas are the ruling power, therefore the people must support them. Remember that the vast majority of people weren’t even alive when Hamas took power, and even then it was a narrow win.
I find you abhorrent for trying to defend any kind of terrorism, even if you believe in the cause. No life is worth more than any other, you sick fucks.

No, we can condemn both sides without calling it all terrorism. That’s just plain stupid. Terrorism is a specific tactic and just because you don’t like what a conventional military is doing doesn’t make it terrorism. It’s worthwhile to maintain our definitions.

the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims
Open season on hospitals, refugee camps and journalists seems it’s fits.

50% of Gazans are children

In a place with the living conditions of Gaza, one has to wonder who is stupid or evil enough to have so many children.

Terror like bombing civilians in refugee camps?
