          Israel. However hamas abducted 251 people and 97 are still unaccounted for. Two wrongs don’t make a right

            Someone shoots you in the chest and kills your entire immediate family

            You try to punch them in response

            “Two wrongs don’t make a right!”

            Add in a pinch of us-foreign-policy and a dash of hitler-detector and voilá,you have the average liberal!

            It’s notable that you think that the victims of a genocide should have no bargaining chips to negotiate with.

            EDIT: Also,

            Two wrongs don’t make a right

            You are very willing to excuse stuff like the Ukrainian military attacking civilian targets and using civilian facilities to stage military activities. For some reason, it’s only non-white people whom you apply these standards to.

                If taking hostages is enough for you to condemn a people to a genocide, then what the Ukrainian military does should be enough for you to support their loss, especially considering that the stakes are much lower.

                    Okay, if you don’t support that, and you apply the same standards to the Ukrainian military, surely you support the defeat of the Ukrainian state, as well as a complete dismantlement of NATO and its states, right?

                    The only mistaken assumption anyone has made here is that you have a coherent worldview or set of politics. We really shouldn’t be assuming that.

            I have a give and take relationship with people on the internet.

            This is toddler logic. You have to use violent tactics to resist genocide, it inherently involves committing “wrongs”.

                When all resistance is bad but you appeal to the idea that there’s some undiscovered type of resistance that is acceptable, what you are telling the victims here to do is roll over and die until some Great Man discovers that undiscovered type of resistance that liberals don’t condemn.

                Fighting Israel tooth and nail is the only answer, and the handful of mostly-military captives Hamas took (and Israel fucking slaughtered!) does not mean that there is any moral equivalency (“two wrongs”) or that Hamas and its coalition are not the best means Palestinians have to fight Israel.

            More Palestinians were dead by October 8th, and the number since then has increased by two to three orders of magnitude.

            The people abducted were mostly military, and some elderly hostages were released very quickly on account of their age. Hamas takes pretty good care of the, it must be stressed, captives taken in a military conflict, while Israel has mostly been fine with slaughtering them in indiscriminate bombing in classic Hannibal Directive fashion.

            This is all ignoring that, outside of children (whose parents are to be blamed), there really aren’t civilians on the border with Gaza, as the “civilians” are still part of the enactment of Israel’s lebensraum.

            Have you considered a much more urgent and pressing matter is that ISISrael has a city-state the size of municipal Johannesburg under siege; has destroyed every mosque, university, hospital, school, UN office, several diplomatic offices, the civil registry, water treatment plant, all farmland, media office, the Court of Justice, cemeteries, most high-rise buildings, effectively banned food and water, etc. At least 50,000 (likely even in the several hundred thousands) have been massacred, with priority targets being UN workers, humanitarian aid, civil rescue/defense, paramedics, professors, doctors and journalists. Several hostages have also been killed. Deaths of Hamas fighters in contrast, have been largely incidental. All of this also recorded live on the free iPhone 15 Pro Max the Nazi soldiers are given.

            Hamas was also ready to negotiate the total release of all hostages in exchange for a permanent end to hostilities literally as early as 9 October.

            Take a wild guess as to why South Africa for instance, no longer has an active underground resistance.

            7 October had maybe, a marginal effect on the already violent Nazi sentiments of ISISrael and it’s supporters.
