“I couldn’t dream in my worst nightmare something like this,” says Amir Ben Natan, an attendee of the Supernova Sukkot Gathering rave where hundreds died in Hamas attack

    I’m not blaming the people at the rave but the policy of Israel.

    Hamas is a terrorist organisation and awful, but they wouldn’t have the numbers or the motivation without Israel’s actions.

    They’re both bad, what just happened is unforgivable, but we can’t just start turning a blind eye to Israel - they aren’t the good guys. They’re talking about cutting off water supply for millions of people in a desert as retaliation. That’s really scary escalation.

      Let me steal your home. I will not allow any resistance from you or your future grandkids for a century. I expect you to calmly surrender everything and go die wherever you want. How will you react?

      Hamas is a great militant group for Palestine. Israel should be wiped off the map.

        I get why Hamas feels justified in doing horrible things. They’re still horrible things. It’s a fucked situation - Israel can say they’re ruthless terrorists, and they’re not wrong, but the reason they are is because they grew up in a warzone with their homes being taken, by Israel.

        It’s awful, it’ll take generations of peace before people heal from this, and who knows when that will even start. Wiping Israel off the map probably won’t help but I don’t know what will.

        They’re petty thugs using horrific tragedy to justify perpetrating their own tragedies.
