Hamas is part of the disaster.
However I strongly condemn Israel's attacks on innocent civilians!

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

Other than what a terrorist organization says, don’t have proof Israel is attacking innocent civilians? Do you condemn Hamas for deliberately putting innocent civilians in harms way?

andree64.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe Israel is not deliberately attacking civilians, maybe they accept it as collateral damage. But the results are disastrous even if Hamas uses fellow citizens as human shields

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not that this is an excuse because it isn’t but name a war when there hasn’t been civilian collateral damage? Why not hold Hamas responsible? They started this war. They hide behind civilians. They refuse to release the hostages.

Gingit.. this is exhausting. It’s Israel executing these bombing campaigns, they are responsible for the civilian casualties caused by their military operations. Nobody else. Hamas is terrible but this conflict didn’t start in oct 23

Next you’re going to tell me it started in 1948. 😂😂 https://www.fondapol.org/en/study/pogroms-in-palestine-before-the-creation-of-the-state-of-israel-1830-1948/

'They're bombing tents', said one Palestinian man in Gaza. Reported on the BBC.

avisolo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hamas has the power to end the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza by releasing all living American and Israeli hostages immediately.

wajid83.bsky.social•1 day ago

It doesn’t respond because they are finished, Israel knows this but will still drop bombs!

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

1000s of terrorists we’re freed weeks ago. You think that’s finished? If they’re finished they should free the last of the hostages, don’t you think?

wajid83.bsky.social•1 day ago

Israel captured 700 Palestinians during the ceasefire. The youngest being the age of 12. Israel is a serial killer, it can’t stop killing the Palestinians.

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

Palestinians goal is to kill Israelis. They train them from childhood to hate Jews. The Palestinian authority pays families to sacrifice their children as martyrs. Palestinians enter Israel with the intent to kill every day. This is fact. If someone came to your home and tried to stab you then what?

Trump is a fascist, Netanyahu a sionazi, both murders and their death a relieve for humanity.

elda64.bsky.social•1 day ago

Netanyahu is a war criminal!

Hamas could release the 59 hostages including 5 Americans, and surrender so the conflict can end and the rebuilding of Gaza can begin. But it refuses to do so.

NYT, are you happy you have to get Trump elected. The Hitler put 2.0 the people will never forget.

atcdave.bsky.social•1 day ago

I thought all hell was going to rain down 2 weeks ago if hostages were not released. Trump doesn’t have a clue or a plan. How does he have support? How are so many so dumb?

marshallg0402.bsky.social•1 day ago

What do you call a bombing campaign during a ceasefire where over 70% of those killed are children, women or the elderly? I would go so far as to call that a war crime and a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement.

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

There’s no ceasefire. Free the remaining hostages.

marshallg0402.bsky.social•1 day ago

From Hamas’ perspective and not from a moral one, what leverage would they have after doing this? What stops Israel from fully occupying, ethnically cleansing, and displacing the Palestinian people?

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

So you are supporting Hamas (a designated terrorist organization) holding onto innocent people for “leverage”. If you used your 🧠 and some critical thinking you’d recognize the only ones interested in ethnic cleansing is Hamas. How did we get to supporting Islamic terrorism as being trendy?

marshallg0402.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s funny how I specifically said from their perspective and not from a moral one to avoid this exact follow up. Opposing genocide ≠ supporting Islamic terror and to equivocate the two is objectively incorrect. No one is suggesting we send money to Hamas or give up on returning the hostages.

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

And I missed that you said from Hamas perspective. Their goal is to ethnically cleanse israel just as they have every other country in the middle east.

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

Where are all the protests calling for the return of the hostages? Where are the uni students calling for peace for all? Global intifada. From the river to the sea. This is what they’re chanting. Pretending anyone is advocating for the innocent hostages is dishonest.

andreaslaudwein.bsky.social•1 day ago

the ceasefire ended weeks ago, but nice try.

marshallg0402.bsky.social•1 day ago

You’re correct, Israel has noticeably and violently violated the ceasefire several times just in the last 2 weeks that have kept them from releasing more hostages until terms were kept. I hope you aren’t under the misunderstanding the Hamas violated the ceasefire agreement as it was signed.

dmstraker.bsky.social•1 day ago

And ordinary people pay a terrible price.

walternative.bsky.social•1 day ago

Say the phrase “Israel launches massive bombing campaign in direct violation of the ceasefire”

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

There is no ceasefire.

walternative.bsky.social•1 day ago

No shit dumbfuck because Israel did not comply with the terms.

Hamas shot a rocket at Israel 3 weeks ago and killed a teenage girl.

walternative.bsky.social•1 day ago

Israel killed 300 people last night. Suck my dick.

am30.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess Hamas shouldn't have violated the ceasefire then. BTW the girl that Hamas's rocket killed was Palestinian.

walternative.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hey dumbass Israel has failed to meet the terms from the jump. And don’t all of a sudden act like you care about Palestinian lives. You don’t. If you did you’d advocate to a permanent ceasefire. Don’t try to police me from the pro-Israeli side. I’m anti genocide. We are not the same.

walternative.bsky.social•1 day ago

You fucking piece of shit.

virgosprincess.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hamas could free the remain hostages and the bodies they’ve murdered. Just a thought.

andreaslaudwein.bsky.social•1 day ago

looks like they are almost done. good.
