Seems like the discourse has broken down to picking sides.
Hamas is a terrorist organization and does nothing to help the Palestinian people. Israel is indiscriminately leveling a city with absolutely zero regard for innocent lives.
Maybe this situation is full of nuance and grey areas that a single tweet or article or comic can’t fully encapsulate.
Hamas is the the elected ruling group of Palestine. Even referring to the current Israeli government and army as Israel, but then making a distinction between Hamas and Palestine is hypocritical.
They “governed” in the gaza strip, yes, but when was the last election exactly? In 2006 they got in power, then they murdered their political opponents and have kept their power through force ever since
Saying that they’re elected by and represent the people would be a bit of a stretch
Same stretch as saying the ruling Israeli government represents the people of Israel after the election crises over the last few years.
We have two ruling bodies who have a vested interest in continued conflict and not representative of their constituents.
Right, but folks say Israel is one, the whole nation, but Hamas is the other, they aren’t Palestine. The differenciation in one and not the other is hypocritical and problematic.
Say Palestine vs Israel, accepting that it’s assumed it their ruling body and army at war, and not the average people.
While it’s true that Hamas was elected, half of the people living in Gaza aren’t old enough to vote and there hasn’t been an election since 2006.
And Israel has their own electric crisis, neither ruling body represents the nations.
What an ignorant take. It’s more likely that you’re a state sponsored troll, but some people are actually this uninformed so you can never be too sure
So you do support Hamas, got it
You don’t even know what that the words you’re using mean.
Two political memes in 2 minutes, less than 10 minutes after joining? 🙃
What’s wrong with it? 🙃
Kinda ඞ
Israeli sponsored propagandist
It means I’m gonna block you, for one.
Bye troll.
The IDF has already killed many many times more civilians, using many more missiles over many weeks, than Hamas has in a single major attack.
Despite that, this the cartoon depicts 3 panels of 3 missiles each from Hamas compared 1 panel of 1 missile from the IDF.
Given that overwhelming and disproportionate response has been Israeli policy for as long as I’ve been alive, it’s fair to say that this comic deliberately misrepresents reality
It isn’t really defending yourself if you’re just indiscriminantely shooting civilian areas.
