    This community doesn’t care. They are anti-semitic. Any excuse to openly call for death to Israel will be taken advantage of. The facts are irrelevant.

      Being against the genocide of gazans isn’t anti-semitism. God damn it this is basic shit, how many times does this shit have to be explained.

      And if you’re taking the IDF’s word at face value… lol

        That’s one of the most frustrating things about discussing this. Racists and antisemites are running free and forcing us to be wary. You’ve got people saying it’s okay for Israel to kill kids, but wrong of Hamas to. You’ve got people refusing to condemn Hamas for their attack, and instead blaming it all on Israel.

        This issue has way more extremists than usual, and it’s exhausting.

        From the article:

        The HAMAS-RUN Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip says at least 500 people have been killed in an explosion that it says was caused by an Israeli airstrike.

        So you won’t trust Israel but you’ll trust Hamas? Lmao.

          You’re right, I was hasty. I’ll reserve my judgement for when there’s better information out there. Hamas is absolutely not to be trusted either.

        Much better to take a literal terrorist organization’s word at face value despite video evidence to the contrary, of course.

          Who? The Israeli government? I don’t believe anything they or hamas say on face value.

        I don’t see you protesting the deaths of Israelite? You know, that thing Hamas did that started the current events? Also, you realize you’re taking anti-Israeli propaganda at face value? That’s what al Jazeera is now. As others posted, there’s videos of the rocket misfire.

        Who stands more to gain from this? A terrorist organization known for attacking its own citizens and blaming it on Israel? Or a nation that will receive universal condemnation for such an event?

          Fuck Hamas, and fuck the Israeli government. Let’s wait for more reporting to verify who killed 500 people in a hospital (fuck whoever did that). But in the meantime maybe don’t be claiming anti semitism when people ask for genocide to stop?

            Did you say that because you were reading my other comments? How about you read the one where I link to people calling for death to Israel because of this event. What else would you call people who openly eat anti-Israeli propaganda and call for their death?

            Condemnation is fine, but you better have your facts correct before you go making a mistake.

      If anyone has love for Jewish people, for any people, they should condemn Israel. You are wrong. This attitude has helped allow the slaughter of thousands of innocent people over decades. To condemn Israel is to have humanity. To support the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom is to support justice. I love Jewish people, I’ve studied the Holocaust, I’ve spent massive time studying Nazism, modern movements and the history. The actions of the Israeli government and the IDF must be stopped by all means necessary.

        No, I love Jewish people too but I support Israel’s right to defend itself. The Palestinian people can’t go free so long as there exists among them organizations that long for the destruction of Israel and all Jews. The quickest path to freedom for Palestine and the fewest loss of innocents is the elimination of Hamas. Sorry, but that’s how this works. If there is cancer in the body, you kill good cells to kill the cancer. You must, or else you yourself will be destroyed. I don’t celebrate the deaths of innocents on either side. But I am at least aware that with Israel, there is the possibility of peace. With Hamas, there can never be.

          Hamas doesn’t exist in the west bank, so why are people there getting killed?

          Good that you studied the Holocaust. Because this is how Nazis justified their genocide and it’s also how Hamas and similar groups justify their violence:

          If there is cancer in the body, you kill good cells to kill the cancer.

            Israel ambassador to the UN literally gave the cancer analogy a couple hours ago IIRC. Didn’t say “kill good cells” though.

      Maybe if the IDF wasn’t busy blowing up journalists (again) we could get some credible information.

        Who needs journalists when you have Hamas to report for you. That’s apparently acceptable for this community of news.

        Appeal to majority fallacy. Though yes that guy is full of it.
