    “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.”

    Did a quick google for ya.

                    I’ll answer that.

                    No it is not justified.

                    Can I understand why Hamas would want to do this, sure , because I have empathy by the bucket load and can understand that having your land taken from you over decades and nothing changes could leave them to believe they have no choice.

                    Is it still wrong? It sure is.

                    Does that give Israel the right to use white phosphorus on the most densely populated place on Earth? I think not. What do you think?

            Idk, if someone came and took over my house and told me to fuck off I’d probably be pretty pissed about it for awhile.

                I graduated a long ass time ago I don’t respond to “answer my question first!” when I make a statement.

                One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. I would respond very poorly to someone coming and taking my home, even 50 years later.

                So, how would you respond to the same situation?

            Tries historical rhetoric and fails so falls back on last week’s tragedy. No one is defending the civilians murders by Hamas, Israel created modern Hamas.

              Let me help you with the answer to my question. Nothing justifies terror acts that Hamas did. NOTHING

                  Unrelated to the Palestine situation, when I meet these argumentative losers on lemmy and block and report. I want to keep this place from becoming a cesspool and I recommend you do the same.

        Because both sides are overly devoted to the same religion that worships the same once-fertile land that is now just almost useless desert?

        I’m watching very closely. I recommend you investigate the difference between Hamas and Gaza
