      after being born in a tent and prevented to be back to your home, growing up with no freedom of movement, limited access to food and electricity for at least 10 years, the president of the militia state decided to go to the UN, show a map that doesnt include you, put a red line across where you live like no one is living there.

      You decide enough is enough and figure time to attack back and leverage what you can.

      To your surprise the militia actually kills their claimed citizen and drop bombed exceeding the destruction exceeding any known conflict in human history on mostly civilian, while committing war crimes, sniper killing babies, press, food aid, and UN officials.

      Yet there are people blaming you for keeping the only leverage you have.

        Yes, Hamas should be blamed for seizing and refusing to release hostages effectively gained via an ill conceived pogrom that no one could possibly have expected to have had any different of an outcome than it has had. The most accurate and reasonable observation that I saw after the October raid was simply, “Hamas just shot every Palestinian in the dick.”

        With that said, none of this excuses Israel and the IDF’s response, regardless of his predictable it has been. Nor does it excuse an increasingly ethnofascist apartheid state.
