I haven’t seen anyone on this site defending Hamas.

I do however understand how extremist views have been taken on in both the West Bank and Gaza. When you treat people like *smile* and you take away their basic human rights and leave them with no hope there will always be an element who fight back.

The best way to weaken Hamas is not to bomb the *smile* out of innocent people, or to treat humans as sub human on their own land, it is to provide them with hope. The best way to do that is to seriously negotiate the two state solution.
Deedee seems to think this is funny.

There is nothing *smile* funny about it.
 
- a short video of an interview with ex-Aussie Yanis Varoufakis stating some truths on how the world has been turning a blind eye to what has been happening to Palestinians for decades.
 
IMO the Middle East was always going to go bang. It is wise not to start in your own backyard as you will need more body bags than you had. It was a matter of when & it all boils down to one thing Religion .
A few Arab/Israeli wars, a few intifadas, a couple of Iraq wars, war in Yemen, the Arab spring, the Iraq/Iran war …
The displacement of millions of Palestinians, the broken promises of the Oslo accord and failed 2001 peace talks. New settlements built on land promised to the Palestinians, Hamas rockets lobbing into Israel.
Whatever would make you think there would be trouble in the Middle East ?

I keep on seeing videos of little kids on my social media feeds. Screaming for their mothers, looking for their siblings with blood and dust all over them. I am not a crying person but these images are horrific, they affect me deeply. These are children FFS, 100% innocent.
I don’t know if anyone else has seen the “leaked” video of Netanyahu talking in his home stating that Hamas and Palestine must pay a price that they cannot bear? He also said he can manipulate and “steer” the Americans, just like he did before.
What a piece of *smile* he is.
The only way this can stop is that massive pressure is put on Israel by the “west” and I just can’t see that happening.
There are still massive questions to be answered about the Hamas attack. How did they get in without even being filmed when that border is so well monitored and protected? I just don’t get it, did they just *smile* up?

And yet some narratives we keep getting force fed;
- How the "Palestinians" are out to get "the Jews".
- How the Israelis are only protecting themselves.
- How the "Arabs" can leave into Egypt anytime they want.How despicable the attack from Hamas was!
- How great it is that Netanyahu has given a "pause" of four hours a day for humanitarian aid to get in to Gaze/ West Bank/ anywhere he feels like. ***how does this not just further show that true state of Palestinian life, that the guy murdering tens of thousands (currently believed to be around 10,860ish Palestinians killed by Israelis) has been good to let medical supplies, food, fuel into ANOTHER COUNTRY. WHAT THE DUCK???

As someone who grew up with a couple of prestigious Jewish families, this genocide has really caused me to re-evaluate sooo much of what I believed to be true in the past.
