      completely predictable and understandable to support the rebel group fighting the regime brutally occupying your country. People generally aren’t on board with just laying down and being genocided

        Supporting the terrorist group that brought this over them is pretty stupid.

        And let’s be clear here. They are terrorists, not rebels.

          yeah humans aren’t rational actors, but they are predictable. The support of hamas is predictable due to the brutal apartheid

          And let’s be clear here. They are terrorists, not rebels.

          Terrorism is a tactic. Rebels are defined by who is fighting who. Hamas is a terrorist rebel group

            You conveniently left the part out where they are also terrorists.

            Also I wouldn’t call them rebels as they aren’t rebelling again their government, which would be Hamas, but against a foreign power.

              No?

              against a foreign power.

              The power that is an occupying force with ultimate control over Palestine—in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza strip

                You clearly did in for your first response

                The power that is an occupying force with ultimate control over Palestine—in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza strip

                I mean above all Hamas is an occupying force as they stopped elections and such lol

                Way more than Israel was in the past decades. And in contrary to Hamas, Israel wasn’t opposed to elections in Palestine and offered land.

                Btw: your argument that “people aren’t on board with lying down and being genocided” fits perfectly for the Israeli people after the continuous Hamas terrorist attacks

          IDF are also terrorists, so it seems like terrorists fighting each other?
