Hamad said that Palestinians are the victims of the occupation, therefore no one should blame them for the events of October 7 or anything else, adding: “Everything we do is justified.”

      I think founding Israel where it is was a huge geopolitical mistake, but I don’t know how that knowledge helps at all today when that mistake is completely solidified.

        It helps so people remember why Palestinians are upset in the first place.

          Yeah cool motive still doesn’t justify a charter explicitly supporting the murder of all Jews in the world

            I think hostility towards trespassers is kind of recognized across the world

            Doesn’t justify murder of Jews across the world of course, that’s not ethical. But it is understandable why Zionists deserve some flak for occupying land they stole with the help of Western colonists

            Does the existence of such a charter justify the killing of civilians?

            What about the blockade?

              The civilians in Gaza are sacrificed human shields by Hamas, the blockade is also due to Hamas.

              If you want to blame anyone for the poor condition of Gaza, blame Hamas.

                So you think collective punishment is okay?

                  It’s not a collective punishment, these aren’t school children Israel is trying to educate… These are defensive measures

                    Wait, you’re literally saying the civilians of Gaza should blame Hamas for Israel’s retaliation.

                    How is that not collective punishment?

                    These are defensive measures

                    Really? Killing thousands of children are defensive measures?

        Thank you. Let us start working with the status quo. Israel right now is starting to realise that netanyahu is not the right guy and palrstinians/gazans need to accept, that they are mere cettle to hamas/abbas.

        Also the arab world needs to work on this compromise with the palestinians and stop using them as propaganda tools.

      Guess who is getting Israel as an apology for their current treatment?

      Just kidding, it’ll be Israel because their leaders won’t stop this until you don’t know what a Palestinian is.
