    That they were trying to turn anything they could into a weapon to kill civilians… and all they could possibly do is kill 300 in over ten years while taking thousands of civilian casualties. Doesnt really add up to the picture you were trying to paint.

    because of the blockade, and the iron dome, and the IDF in general. I’m sorry Israel is good at defending itself.

    … and because Hamas was specifically holding off for this one planned, concerted attack, with missiles saved up, which explains why they didn’t join the Islamic Jihad attack or anything.

    … and they killed more than 300, you’re only counting the Israelis they killed, not the Palestinians they killed. 25% of their rockets land in Gaza, they’re not exactly careful aiming them.

    It’s almost like the Israeli government doesn’t care what happens to the people in their prison… very perplexing.

    It’s almost like the Palestinian government doesn’t care. Or like they do care, and they want nothing more for them than martyrdom.

    Israel continues to give all this aid even though Hamas is controlling its distribution. What would you prefer they do? re-occupy Gaza and deliver aid individually?

    You must not read a lot of history… there was once an ethnocentric theocracy by the name of imperial Japan that did some stuff in China a while ago…

    I was not aware that they beheaded babies. I’m aware of the conflict, and the rape of Nanking, and the general attrocity and animosity there, but no, I have not read that they beheaded babies, forgive me.

    also, do you have any evidence of this actually occurring?

    Multiple eyewitness reports reported by multiple reporters + the president of the united states confirming it, but I’m sure you won’t be satisfied until you see Hamas post photos to facebook, huh?

    here’s another source.

    Ahh yes, everyone who disagrees with the Israeli state hates Jewish people…

    I’m sick of this bullshit. Hamas explicitly calls for the extermination of all Jews in its charter, not just the ones in Israel.

    I did not say that everyone who disagrees is an antisemite. I said that the terrorists who openly and proudly hate Jews are antisemites, and the heartless bastards who celebrate that terrorism, who watch on with popcorn while innocent Jewish civilians die are antisemites.

    no way people could just want an end to an apartheid state.

    Israel is the only state in the middle east with any semblance of equality—with complete equality, until the current Israeli government—based on race or religion, but let’s stop and pretend it was an Apartheid state, and let’s say that all people want is to end it.

    So they see soldiers parading teenage girls in the streets. They see their blood-stained sweatpants, they know she just got raped. They hear that (then) hundreds of Israeli civilians are dead. They see a music festival get massacred.

    Do you think they really think this is going to end Israel? Do you really think they’re that stupid?

    Hamas does not want to end Israel. Hamas wants to kill Jews, provoke war, and maintain its stranglehold over Gaza. Hamas cannot exist with peace. They were afraid the Saudis might try to broker peace, or that the Israelis would vote Netanyahu out, or something might happen to make peace more plausible, and they had to stop that.

    All this attack was meant to do is kill Jews and provoke a war. Nobody is stupid enough to think they’re about to end Israel.

    (this comment is apparently too long…)
