(4,229 posts)Im tired of seeing such one sided responses to Israelis acts. War sucks for both sides. Hamas (and the 70% of Gazas who support them) use the populace as shields. Unfuckindeniable. And at least as evil as what you feel Israel is doing.
Hamas knew Israel would respond this way. They ALWAYS do. It was predictable. Yet they build bombs and tunnels with all the infrastructure money they could have put to real use and hide under schools, hospitals and neighborhoods. So, who truly is being evil?
If you or I wanted to decimate the population of 2.4 million in an area of 140 square miles, we could bomb it to oblivion in days. After 7 months, Gaza has lost 1% of its population to collateral damage. Not hundreds of thousands, no where near the 6 million Jews lost in actual concentration camps. This is 20+ thousand innocents too many, but it hardly rises top the level of genocide and certainly seems top speak against effin evil.
I think all the pro-Israeli posters are looking for is a bit of balance and acknowledgment that it is not as simple as Good vs Evil.
