The state of Gaza’s hospitals: Surgeries without anesthesia and with only mobile phones for light. Vinegar from the corner store as disinfectant. 5,000 patients in a hospital built for 700, some sleeping on the floor. No power, no clean water, little fuel.
Palestine didn’t declare war . . .
Big brain take right here
Hamas is the government of the Gaza Strip. They declared war. The Gaza Strip is now a war zone because the people in charge started a war.

Hamas does not represent the people of Gaza. The civilians. The humans, being bombed mercilessly by Israel
This literally says that it is the defacto government of Gaza. Just because another political body doesn’t agree doesn’t mean that they aren’t the ones controlling the day to do. They don’t have a democracy, which is on them to correct as well. Arab culture does not promote the type of mentality required to support Democracy. It’s just rugged tribalism where women are relegated to a form of slavery and children are indoctrinated to a culture of hate. That population was being regulated by Israel to provide order. They wanted independence from Israel and were unwilling to work on a means to assimilate. It was unable to form a productive society and was just breading terrorists.
Sounds like you’re advocating for a can of Raid. Like they’re “sub-human”
This dude made some points and this is your best response?
Sounds like a bunch of bullshit reasons to excuse bombing children to me
That’s like saying the Provisional IRA was the government of Northern Ireland. Yes they do have a political force but are better described as a paramilitary.

You can’t distinguish between Palestineans and Hamas, why are you surprised nobody wants to talk to you

A regime is not the people around them. Should your house be bombed because your asshole neighbor did a terrorist attack?
this is a very simplified view of the conflict.
More simplified than drawing a circle around an entire people, calling it “Hamas” and then casting judgment?

Then we agree. Israel should spare the civilians of Gaza. Instead of indiscriminate bombings of hospitals and critical infrastructure
well they should try to avoid civilian casualties at all costs but I also understand the need of attacking critical infrastructure of the Hamas, which is very hard because the Hamas is using its citizens as meatshields…they are also committing war crimes by doing that if you ask me.
So no, I have no “good or easy” solution for you. This war is fucked up beyond any recognition…for all parties involved!
Agreed. We should just stop shooting.
