Alright yeah Israel is worse, but that isn’t what people are talking about right now. It’s possible to support the Palestinians but not Hamas. Fighting back is fine, but targeting civilians isn’t. If they had just attacked the actual oppressors, the conversation would be completely different.

Ah yes the enlightened centrist. Israel has been dominating Palestine for ~75 years and have been in a position to end the conflict for ages but decide not to because they’d rather slowly kill Palestine than give their people freedom.
But surely they’re both equally evil, eh?

You could say the exact same thing about Israel. This isn’t a gotcha when Israel has been killing civilians for decades in their apartheid.

Hamas’ terrorism is bad, but it’s also a predictable result of treating Palestinians like subhuman cattle for generations. Israel had the power to prevent situations like this, but they used it to oppress instead.

Hamas is not a political revolution of Palestine. It’s a jihadist group that kills just as many Palestine children as they do Israeli. Palestine deserves so much better. I hate centrism and cynicism, but there is no good outcome to this fight.
