Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on October 7 killed at least 1,400 people and the group took more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. In the wake of the assault, Israel launched an aerial bombardment of Gaza that Palestinian health officials say has killed more than 5,000 people. Israel also announced a “complete siege” on the enclave, withholding vital supplies of water, food and fuel.

      Why don’t Palestinians work with their oppressor who tortures them in prison and puts up checkpoints to prevent them from reaching schools and kills them indiscriminately? Gosh I don’t know. What do you think?

      I think how they’re murdering Palestinian children with blind disregard should tell you their opinion on the palestinian people.

      Israel doesn’t care about them, they treat Gaza like a house they wanna move into a Palestinians like an infestation.

        I mean Hamas also does that. Israeli Arabs are imo objectively treated better by Israel than Palestinians by Hamas, despite the fact that they’re also not treated that well.

        Had that been the case they would just level the whole thing and make a new parking lot. You severely underestimate military power Israel poses.

          Have you seen photos from Gaza? Entire neighborhoods are levelled. Houses obliterated. Some districts look like Warsaw in 1945.

                Do you think Hamas or Iran would use one if they had it? I think it would be sent on a donkey if it meant destruction of Israeli lives. I also think loss of civilian lives is inevitable and the exact thing Hamas wants because it makes Israel look bad. Why else would they forbid people to move south when Israel said so prior to bombing? Why would they kidnap people and use as hostages? To them innocent lives are a tool to get some killing done. To Israel innocent lives are unfortunate and unavoidable consequence which will happen in extermination of Hamas, since if they are left to live this whole scenario will repeat.

                  You people are so historically ignorant.

                  They don’t leave because they know what will happen when they leave because Israel has done this before. Israel will seize the land and their homes and will continue to bomb them in a more dense space. So if they are going to die they choose to die in their homes and not a concentration camp.

      Because Hamas is the only organization fighting Israel, or the only one that matters. So given that Israel has no interest in peace, Hamas is their best bet at getting anything done. Remember: The West Bank doesn’t have Hamas, and there are currently honest to God pogroms going on there.

      You’ve got real “Why didn’t all the colonised countries rise up against their European colonisers” vibes…

      Do you believe they didn’t rise up because they’re genetically inferior? That they deserved suffering and oppression?

      Why don’t the Palestinians work with Isn’trael to get defanged and become at the mercy of the IDF? That should end them ASAP!
