(30,109 posts)You say Israel is just killing kids in Gaza. For Israel to merely defend its citizens is immoral. But then you applaud whoppers like this crap:

That was in response to a video where one "Owen Jones" justified Hamas & their thousands of rockets on Israelis as a natural response to the Israeli blockade and occupation. Do you not see the problem with that? Rather than condemn Hamas' war crimes, he's justifying them. And you're applauding that.
Hamas (and Islamic Jihad) would fire rockets in order to kill Jews even if Israel pulled back to exact '67 lines & offered more concessions than ever before. That's what Hamas does. If they could pull off a genocide, they would. How do I know? They've repeatedly said that, over and over. "Owen Jones" knows that & is giving them justification for their attempted murder, their war crimes. And you're applauding that.
Think it over the next time you want to accuse "Zionists" of just wanting to kill Palestinians. Your tacit support of Hamas' attempts to kill "Zionists" makes you as bad as those you're accusing of being bloodthirsty.
And the audience ate that shit up as well! Yes, what else can Hamas & Islamic Jihad do? They're desperate, they're victims, they're oppressed by the mean Israelis! They're justifying war crimes and collective punishment (rocket attacks) against innocents.
