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.”

    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.
