    No advocation for Hamas from my side.

    I simply chose to join the Fediverse (Lemmy in particular as I really liked Reddit) to have freedom of speech.

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

      This event happened in the Gaza Strip. And Hamas’ exists in the West Bank, they just don’t rule there.

        Lol, you don’t think Hamas rules Gaza?

        Hamas (UK: /həˈmæs/, US: /həˈmɑːs/ ⓘ;[43] Arabic: حماس Ḥamās [ħaˈmaːs]),[44] officially the Islamic Resistance Movement (حركة المقاومة الإسلامية Ḥarakah al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah), is a Sunni Islamist[45] political and military organization governing the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian territories.

        Anyways, Hamas didn’t launch the rockets that hit the hospital - Palestinian Islamic Jihad did.

          You read that backwards. There is Hamas in the West Bank but the PLA is in charge there. There is also Hamas on the Gaza Strip and they are the defacto government there.

          The person above was complaining about deaths in the West Bank, but the article in question is about an event that happened in the Gaza Strip.

          I’m not in the conversation. Just saying that this is not a public square and “free speech” (often synonymous to hate speech) might not be tolerated here.

          Ironically, the comment you replied to got deleted, so…
