    The accusation that anyone who understands the difficult situation Israel faces is a Jewish fundamentalist is absurd, we might as well say anyone that supports Palestine is a Muslim fundamentalist that wants Sharia law worldwide.

    I’m not defending everything Israel has done but also I’m not dumb enough to think if the tables were reversed that Palestine would be smiling as Israel chucks rockets at it and saying ‘we don’t want to kill Israeli citizens so we’re not going to fire back’ we all know they’d have done what they often talk about and pushes the Jews into the sea.

    I don’t like the government of Israel but at least they care about their own citizens, Hamas are controlled by religious crazies like Iran who are more than happy to increase the suffering of their citizens just to create good propaganda - hence digging up water pipes to make rockets, stockpiling fuel underground while hospitals run dry, putting military facilities under schools and hospitals, blocking roads so civilians can’t flee combat zones, and endless more examples.

      The fence sitters who think nothing happened before October 7th such as yourself love to use the terms “difficult” and “complex” and imply that Palestinians would love to return the inhumanity they faced to Jews, yet the reality is totally at odds with your fascist-apologia and false reality.

      Even the supposedly extremist and reckless Hamas acknowledges the “right” of Israel to exist, and in its own charter refutes the ideology of antisemitism in place of resisting the colonial regime of Israel. If anything, it’s rather naiive for Hamas to support the 1967 borders in full knowledge that Israel’s very existence is at odds with the rights of Palestinians to live in ““Jewish”” land.

      Palestine, both in Gaza and the West bank, are multi-racial, multi-faith societies that historically and now are orders of magnitude more tolerant to Christians, Jews, and otherwise non-religious foreigners than Israel, which restricts the rights of Christians, Ashkenazi Jews, Ethiopian Jews, and of course Muslims. How tolerant must your society be to allow Israelis to weld the doors to your home shut because you’re not allowed to walk on “Jewish only” streets in Hebron. How tolerant must you be to allow Israeli settlers to steal your home, yet still be made to condemn the people who fight to stop this blatant colonialism in fear of death?

      Israel, even towards its zionist citizens, does not “care” more than it sees them as tools for the destruction of Palestinians, muslims, and arabs, and thus support from Europe and USA in return. Netanyahu and the Israeli state supported the unprovoked violence against palestinians by settlers for months, despite explicit warnings from Egypt, UK, US, and even internal intelligence agencies about Hamas provocations. They suddenly stopped manning their own border wall, allowing Hamas to break through and refused to answer their citizen’s calls for help for SIX HOURS. When they DID turn up, they shot at Israelis and eachother. Israel even makes this policy with their Hannibal Doctrine, which encourages the State murder of hostages or potential hostages to prevent politically embarrassing prisoner exchanges. They’ve already killed at least 50 hostages and denied the return of 2 more because they’d prefer to ethnically cleans Gaza than stop the bombing.

      I won’t even bother answering to the rest of your claims because they’re all increasingly bullshit and partisan despite your claim to neutrality.

      Everything in your post is not only verifiably wrong, but ignorant to the real villain of the unfolding atrocities. Your own fence sitting exposes your real ideology of support for the genocidal and fascist regime cementing power in Israel. You will either have to bear the burden of supporting this holocaust or you will have to make excuses for it when the horrors you and other fence-sitting cowards have aided and abetted come to light - I have no respect for you. Get fucked.
