they overwhelmingly support Hamas, willingly act as human shields, and condone Hamas stockpiling weapons in tunnels under schools/mosques/hospitals...Hamas diverts humanitarian aid (money, medical supplies, food) into their own pockets and then blames Israel because Gazans are poor, without medicine, and starving...

and yes, in war innocents die..children/aid workers...buildings are leveled/towns decimated but what seems to be forgotten is this is a war Israel did not start..

I give Hamas "credit"...they have harnessed global hatred for Jews and for the State of Israel...beheading babies, torturing and dismembering children, gang raping women, setting the elderly and disabled on fire, turning a music festival into a killing field, and capturing/holding hostage Israeli citizens is somehow a horror Israel brought on itself..and Hamas and the Palestinians are the real victims...give me a fucking break!!
