Quote:It depends what standards to use. I know people like to dismiss the stated goals and philosophies of organisations and only look at power relations, but at some point to make sense of the world you have to just believe it when people tell you who they are.

If you use the standard of the stated goals and philosophies, Hamas is more psychotic than Likud.

Quote:Horrendous.
What's even sadder is that while this may be new or shocking to many, what follows is routine. Many civilians from both sides will die senselessly for a while before a ceasefire happens.

But Israel will always bear full responsibility for what happens in this conflict. They have built the conditions that least to this, the continued occupation, the seige, the routine killings of Palestinian civilians and the daily humiliation and violence they inflict on them. They're even responsible for Hamas's very existence, when they propped them up to weaken Fatah.

And just above:

This is going to be horrifying and while Israel and Hamas have blood so does the international community for letting fucked up shit slide in the area particularly these last few years while letting a shitshow of a corrupt Israel government run amok raising tensions since right wing politics get votes and is keeping Bibi out of jail.

So much death is coming on both sides.
All of the sudden the problem is that the IDF is not doing their job? Does this idiot not realize that them preventing this attack would have meant even more raids, bombings and civilian deaths in Gaza?

What colonization and occupied state are we talking about here? No, really, since we're all informed people here, let's sit down and productively discuss the legitimacy of the State of Palestine. An entity formed by third parties, rejected by all relevant populations in the region and grudgingly accepted for propaganda purposes after decades of failure to dislodge Israel that still refuses to form itself institutionally as a state and claims authority over regions it hasn't physically held ever.

I don't care to defend Israel, a state and an ethonationalist socialist state at that, but let's talk about the colonization and occupation here and compare it to other instances of states with limited legitimacy like Transnistria, Tibet, Somaliland, the two claimed independent parts of Georgia, Western Sahara, Canada, Northern Cyprus, and whatever the fuck has been going on in Yemen for decades. (Not to mention the countless more transient claims across Africa and Asia.) We would want to bear witness on the decolonialization and liberation of occupied states would we not? Or are we just academic theorizing now?

Well, I don’t think is that simple or that doing their job is making more people hate your guts (intentionally or not).

Still, it sounds that nothing they have done is comparable with what Hamas seems indulging themselves.

Specially since they seem to be acting way worse than whatever they were bitching that IDF was doing.

The videos that are making their way online are going to enrage.

The timing of this is so suspect.

Republicans are calling for aid to go to Israel now. So Ukraine aid dries up? Republicans are already blaming this on Biden for giving Iran their money back.

Hmm.. smells like a conspiracy theory. Are republicans to blame for this?

You’re throwing out too many words. Their understanding of the conflict is somewhere above knowing there is a conflict, and below Don’t Mess with the Zohan. Anything beyond black vs white is confusing and prone to cause fits of anger.

Quote:Already I’m seeing the huge amounts of angry strawmen tweets and posts calling out supposed hypocrisy over western support for Ukraine while we are condemning HAMAS and it has me more than a bit perturbed because I can promise you that if Ukranine had at any point sent a large force of combatants into some Russian city like Rostov or Belogord and they were going door to door indiscriminately slaughtering civilians like it’s the “No Russian” level from Call of Duty the international support for Ukraine would dry up so fast you couldn’t blink or you’d miss it.

But then:

Quote:In general, the hypocrisy is in not stopping Israel from committing apartheid and straight out genocide and instead even supporting said actions.

Quote:The hypocrisy is definitely there. Western support for Ukraine has been there since day 1, meanwhile that same West has been supporting (and continues to support) Israel and it's horrible attacks on Palestinians since decades.

Again, you fucks should read what the fuck Hamas is posting in their socials (not seeing because you may vomit).

Those with more knowledge on this conflict can better answer your question.

“Did the violence include parading naked bodies, murdering entire families or kidnapping civilians?”

Thordinson, you don’t need to answer questions if you don’t know the answer.
