    This is a simple oppressed people fighting back against Zionist settler colonialists.

    Staying in a fascist ethnostate is a choice that Israelis make, and it’s fucked up that the children’s parents do so.

      You clearly don’t know shit about the area.

      First, Israel is not in the EU or US, Israelis can’t just leave to another country. They need a citizenship or a work visa. Israel do suffers a brain drain, but like most societies, the majority doesn’t have the skills or money required to leave.

      So it is not a choice Israelis do.

      The majority voted against the current government, and millions if people went on a weekly basis to demonstrate against the current government. Including massive civil disobedience, harrasment of ministers at their home, and much more.

      This all stopped when Hamas attacked.

      So most Israelis can’t leave, but they try to change. Making your second point wrong.

      Secondly, there are no settlments in Gaza, there are no colonies in Gaza, this is not an uprising of the oppressed. This is an attempt by a religous organization, that has roots in a movement that exists longer than Israel does, that want to kill all Jews in the area.

      Taking hostages and bombing civillians is not fighting back against the settlers. If the actually did it they would attack the settlers and no innocents. The IDF and israel government are committing a genocide against palestinians but at the same time Hamas is attempting one against israelitea. They are the same level of monsters, just one is stronger than the other.

        Their attacks were extremely targeted at IDF soldiers. Hamas civilian casualty rate is far lower than the avarage American rate. Let alone the israeli rate

        Only 29 of the 1200 killed were children. It’s very clear they avoided killing them.

        Meanwhile israel has genocided 6000 children already.

      Gaza is literally a fascist ethnostate while Israel is the most ethnically diverse country within thousands of miles. And Hamas’s method of “fighting back” is murdering thousands of innocents and rejecting any form of peace. You explicitly support terrorism?

        gaza doesn’t have the autonomy that comes with being a state - the borders and ports are completely controlled by the IDF. Its also about half children by population. Its essentially more similar to a concentration camp for ethnic minorities than it is a state.

        Gaza has all kinds of ethnicities and doesn’t discriminate between religions. There are plenty of Christians living there.

        Meanwhile israel is a Zionist apartheids ethno-state where people of one religion have more rights than others.
