    This will end with the destruction of an entire culture and sets back peaceful discourse for generations. Not enough people with a voice weep for the suffering of the innocent, regardless of the perpetrator.

  • It should be noted that ‘refugee camp’ is a somewhat misleading term. These are functionally cities that are located where temporary camps were originally located. As refugee status is inherited by Palestinians, these are communities of legal refugees and thus, strictly speaking, refugee camps, but the image is very much not what the term brings to mind.

    This is not to downplay the tragedy of civilian casualties; just providing some context that people may not know.

  • As Israel continues their barbaric campaign of death they will lose all their allies on the left. The majority of the upcoming American generations (all progressively more left leaning) won’t support our key middle east partner any longer. Israel will be forced into the circles of auth right allies, further solidifying the fascistic ethnostate within. This really is Israels 9/11.

    So sad that all the people in these threads claiming to want to defeat Hamas can’t understand that every second this continues their victory grows greater. There’s always time to stop this madness. There’s always time to step back from the abyss and help save Israel, but it needs to be your voices that help do it.

    Israeli and Hamas leaders are equal: bringing about the destruction of their people for political gain.

    May those who never had a fair chance at life, meeting a painful and fearful end, find rest and peace in their next journey.

        Meh, their similar enough that up until 2019 Israel publicly funded Hamas to explicitly weaken the Palestinian government. Both sides want thier little far right ethnostate. The only distinction in their minds is which race gets it.

          • The capacity to enforce thier ethnostate doesn’t seem like that much of a change when discussing thier idoligy. If Russia or Pakistan have Hamas a standing army and nukes tomorrow i doubt they would suddenly change thier stated end goals, simpley be capible of far more violence in furtherance of thouse goals.
