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.”

    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

                    Maybe, depends on how seriously they’d listen to me despite disagreeing.

                    What Israel is doing to Palestinians is ethnic cleansing. Pulling the victim card for decades of colonialism is stupid. Theyre the occupiers in this conflict, it’s not equal. Every jew doesn’t deserve to die for this either, but they certainly aren’t the victims

        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?

                  By Israel retaliation, do you mean illegal extreme settler violence, or legal military action?

                  My defensive measures comment was about the reason for the blockades…

                  Children dying is another matter. That goes back to Hamas being at fault for sacrificing civilians as human shields.
