Yes probably, but here's the problem. Hamas isn't just an internationally recognised terrorist organisation - it's also the duly elected governing body of the Gaza Strip. In this attack of Israel, Hamas have achieved nothing but (still somewhat allegedly) the sickeningly brutal murder, torture, rape, mutilation and kidnapping of innocent men, women, children and babies. A Hamas fighter has today stated that they kidnapped all those women in order to rape the **** out of them (paraphrased)... There's no acceptable spin to put on a statement like thatMrkelly » 11 Oct 2023, 9:58 am » wrote: ↑ some are cheering the killing of innocent Palestinians today
What are your thoughts of people who vote for sub-humans like this, to be their governing body?.. For instance, would you readily refer to them as 'innocent'?
In response, Israel has, in a very restrained manner I thought, stated it's going to wipe out Hamas once and for all. I think that's very restrained and very generous considering the fact they must know that although that might work for a decade or two, it ultimately can not end the problem, with so many people in Palestine demonstrably supporting Hamas' bat-**** interpretation of Islam - (or maybe it's just the most honest interpretation).
At least Israel's stated aims in their response to this attack, are to target the military (Hamas), with the unavoidable consequence that innocents will get caught up in it. We're still waiting to hear what the aims of Hamas were when they attacked, but on the face of it, it looks like the exact opposite:- exact as much suffering on Innocent people as possible.
The one possibility Gaza has to redeem itself, is that western media reports are lies and/or exaggerations.
No, I'm not raking through history to 'provide links'. If you can't directly dispute a point, then question your own links.
