I’m not trying to prove Hamas right, I’m explaining why it happened, why Hamas did that, and what made them mad enough to do that.
And to hell, I say, with their motivations. Their terrorist attack is totally unjustified, their indiscriminate slaughter, and deliberate targeting, of women and children is unsurpassed in the grimmest catalogue of human barbarity the blood of thousands of wars has written. And in inflicting that gravest of atrocities on Israel's population, they forced the nation, which had long been seeking, but never truly finding, peace and co-existence with the war-mongering Arab States, into yet another war for the mere survival of their society, against the ravages of the Muslim extremists who thirsted for the blood of every Jewish person, and the destruction of that bastion of civilisation, Israel, standing in their island of terror and ignorance.
colonization, decades of it. The soldiers of Hamas are the kids and relatives of those who’d previously lived in the land the Israelis took during the war. They were breaking into places they had memories of, places they’d lived in and remembered the loss of for generations.
BS. Don't start whining to me about "colonisation" when the people of Israel, who had, three thousand years before, first created their nation there; who endured ROMAN colonisation for centuries. Though many were forcibly removed from their beloved homeland, the Jewish presence in modern-day Israel never ceased – they continued to live there, through the occupation of the Roman Empire, through the Middle Ages, through to the modern age and final re-establishment of their nation. In particular, they still had thriving communities throughout this time in Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed (Tzfat), and Tiberias – the claim that the Jews had been absent, and suddenly disrupted the blameless Muslims inhabiting their land and "colonised" them, is utterly crap. They were the ones expelled by the hand of imperialism, and throughout… Read more

When everything is a “who started it first” situation, nothing has a justification, or everything does. This happened because the Israelis were demolishing the West Bank, the area with NO influence or ownership by Hamas. What’s their excuse there? They’ve killed thousands of children and innocent civilians in the West Bank for decades, and the only ruling authority there is the PA, which is openly and evidentially inside the pocket of the Israelis in most every respect. The Israelis already target civilians, they already kill en masse, then play the victim while shooti… Read more

The kingdom of Judea was one of many who existed there, and if we must pull this ancient history “blood and soil” nonsense, their own scripture states they’d killed the Canaanites who lived in the region because it was their promised land. If you believe their own scriptural histories, then they are quite literally the genocidal types in the past themselves. Palestinians have a stronger connection to Canaanites overall, with far less non-Middle Eastern genetic variation than most modern-day Jews.
These arguments betray themselves, because Palestinians are already linked with… Read more

God literally committed genocide several times according to religious scripture. That was the Canaanite invasion by the Hebrews, the Great Flood, and many more, and religious people are expected to not just believe it was god’s will, but also that it was a positive development. Religion itself is bathed in blood, I’m not here to defend Islam, I’m here to say others are no different. Israelis today quote their own scriptural verses when making clear genocidal statements about Palestinians, that’s utter nonsense to reject here. Philanthropy is established in Christianity… Read more
