  • As another comment noted. If Hamas had more firepower they would use more firepower.

    They are not morally Superior to Israel.

    Hamas started a conflict with an obviously more powerful military. They knew there would be consequences but they still chose violence over diplomacy. Obviously diplomacy in the middle east is terrible but I would never think that attacking civilians is a viable alternative to diplomacy.


  • The history of Palestine is super messy. All sides have committed terrible acts to the other, coming back hundreds of years. Each side can always look at recent history and claim X has provoked Y or Y has caused a disaster on X.

    You can claim this was a provoked attack. I for once can hardly justify an attack on civilians. You can argue, Israel has done worse in the past, and while each side is biased, perhaps you’d be right.

    My point is. This is an endless discussion

    Both sides are bad. IMO the best outcome at the moment is to stop the conflict as soon as possible


  • Man what a terrible choice of words.

    By your standards I could provide a counter argument like: Has any Israeli launched an unprovoked attack on Palestinians and kidnapped 300 of them?

    And then I sit on my biased moral throne and feel the meaningless superiority of my argument

    Reality is not black and white. Both sides are bad

    Hamas launched a horrible slaughter of civilians. they knew it would have consequences. The IDF would obviously retaliate but they are using too much force and causing extreme suffering

    This war should stop as soon as possible. There is nothing to gain in prolonging this conflict
