At least 198 Palestinians killed in Israeli air raids; Hamas attack kills 70 Israelis, ‘big number’ also captured.

This is what happens when everyone turns a blind eye to apartheid governments.

No this is what happens when terrorists overwhelm a border crossing and stsrt indiscriminately murdering civilians, then carry their mutilated bodies around as literal flags as they celebrate the murder in the street

I assume you’ve been just as outraged and outspoken about atrocities carried out by the IDF?
Is killing civilians fine as long as they don’t do it too “barbarically” for you?
Should Palestinians just lay back and continue to let the settlers take what little of their homeland they have left? They’re being genocided. They’re fighting back in whatever way they’re capable

Yeah this happens daily in Palestine. Suddenly people care what happens over there? Gimme a break

And there goes power to Gaza.
yep. Energy Minister Yisrael Katz has signed an order instructing the Israel Electric Corporation to halt the supply of electricity to the Gaza Strip. i suspect this is the beginning of many, many punitive measures to come as reprisal

Punitive reprisals to… The open declaration of war Hamas made today?
Who in their right mind expects a country to supply power to the country that literally just attacked them?
the primary reason Hamas has political power and the political support to attack Israel in this manner is because Israel:
- treats all Palestinians as second-class citizens and subjects them to a system of political, social, and economic apartheid
- holds millions of Palestinians in squalid and inhuman conditions, and seizes the territory of millions more in the name of a violent settler project
- subjects the vast majority of Palestinians to state-sponsored discrimination, terror, indiscriminate bombing, and political violence
- leaves Palestinians no feasible democratic path to the rights they should have in their current state or the state of Israel, making armed struggle inevitable
you can and should condemn Hamas, but it is inarguable that Israel routinely does worse—overwhelmingly to people just as innocent as the ones Hamas is murdering—which is what makes attacks like this inevitable. you cannot do what Israel does and not expect the outcome to be violence, and it is incumbent on Israel, who holds all the actual power in this dynamic, to break the cycle and stop using every terrorist attack perpetuated against it as an excuse to roll innocent heads.
