    In Star Wars terms Israel is the Empire and Hamas are the Rebels.

    The Rebels ruthlessly murdered hundreds of millions of people when they blew up the Death Star.

      To keep the analogy going, they would have to have raped and beheaded the occupants of the death star before actually blowing them up…and the Death Star would have to have been an Imperial tourist destination with not just Imperial citizens, but also visiting citizens from all across the galaxy…but if that’s what George Lucas had filmed, I think there would have been a lot less sympathy for the rebels.

      Military targets are morally different than civilian targets with or without collateral damage. Hamas are not the heroes.

        Hamas knew what was coming when they launched their senseless terror. The blood of civilians on the Gaza Strip is on their hands.

        Likewise, Netanyahu and his far right government has been provoking this intentionally. He has the blood of Israeli citizen on his. They did not expect an attack to be this successful, but I guaran-fucking-tee you they were waiting for and intentionally provoking an opportunity to strike back.

        Both of them intentionally kill civilians. Both can get fucked.

        If you’re looking for heroes, start with the people working for UN schools at the Gaza Strip.

          “Israel slaughters Palestinian civilians on any day, so them mounting a resistance basically translates to Hamas killing Palestinians”.

          Your father mercilessly beat you and blamed it on your mom, didn’t he?

        That would fly if Israel a) hadn’t been targeting civilians for 40 years and b) didn’t respond by targeting civilians.

        You really need to shut your fucking mouth when you clearly have no fucking clue what happened literally this week.
