    Both sides are bad yada yada yada but only one side is a colonial ethnostate that is committing genocide. Let us not forget.

      As another comment noted. If Hamas had more firepower they would use more firepower.

      They are not morally Superior to Israel.

      Hamas started a conflict with an obviously more powerful military. They knew there would be consequences but they still chose violence over diplomacy. Obviously diplomacy in the middle east is terrible but I would never think that attacking civilians is a viable alternative to diplomacy.

        I agree Hamas are idiots. But they cannot be blamed for the constant human rights violations of Israel. I don’t think many people here (IF ANY) think it was acceptable for them to attack civilians. Usually attempts to shed light on the crimes of Hamas are meant to divert the attention from the ongoing holocaust that Paleatinians are forced to go through on the hands of the IDF.

        Ps. Diplomacy was never a viable option with Israel. They never make concessions or reasonable demands. So you can just forget about that weak point.

          I did not mean to justify Israel’s actions by pointing out Hamas’s attack.

          I agree that Israel has the sole power to stop this conflict. Every day they refuse to do some sort of ceasefire deal is a slaughter caused by Israel alone.

          Netanyahu is likely prolonging the war due to political pressure and IMO should be considered a terrorist as well

        but they still chose violence over diplomacy.

        Look at the PA and tell me that diplomacy with Israel works again.

      And the only reason Hamas doesn’t do what IDF does is because they are incapable of doing it not because of any moral superiority

        Really? Hamas are not committing ethnic cleansing for over 75 years because THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO?

        Is this not some kind of rhetoric Israel uses to justify the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people?
