Sowing confusion to deflect blame is Tel Aviv’s usual propaganda strategy.

    Good for you, condemning all sides from your ivory tower so you can maintain moral purity.

    So! What do you think Hamas should have done? Vote? Start a petition? Post about it on X?

        Firstly, Palestinian representatives including Hamas have tried to come to the negotiating table, ever since the beginning. The response from Israel is bombing runs, artillery fire, and bad faith claims that Hamas will not negotiate.

        Secondly, Palestinians do not want to exterminate anyone, they simply want to be free. The extermination/genocide thing is common myth presented by settlers who can’t imagine anything but genocide, as it’s how their own society has been built, and they project this on to all other societies.

        And how do they force Israel to negotiate?

        Israel won’t negotiate with peaceful protestors and won’t negotiate with hostage takers and won’t negotiate with passive captives. Just an idea, but maybe Israel is the one at fault for there being no negotiations.

      Are you trying to suggest that Hamas were some how justified in intentionally killing innocent civilians?

      Not having an answer doesn’t mean you can’t condemn both sides in this.

        It actually does, because it means you’re just playing pretend instead of grappling with the world as it actually exists.

        So shut up 😘
