The use of the term ‘propaganda’ implies that the story here is untrue.

However, Israel’s atrocities are exceedingly well-documented. That would make you a liar or willfully ignorant, either of which are intolerable.

The story here is very selectively presented to suit the points made by OP. So either OP is creating propaganda, or creating new propaganda. So are you, when you are talking about “well documented atrocities” out of context.

Justify this you cunt. Sorry I should call people cunts but the news coming out of Israel isn’t good. A ton of Israeli’s are dead and a ton of Palestinians are dead/going to die over this. Hamas achieved nothing but get scores of Palestinian and Israelis killed.

FAIR WARNING THIS IS EXTREMELY NSFW. IT IS THE RESULTS OF AN ATTACK ON A BOMB BUNKER. FILMED BY HAMAS THEMSELVES.

They started off the attack by launching thousands of rockets then they purposely attacked bomb bunkers where tons of civilians were grouped together and hiding. This is what you and the others are currently justifying.

HAMAS was always this violence this is not some sort of revolation or response to occupation. They want to genocide Jews not make Palestinian lives better. They came to power in Gaza strip through violence (against Palestinians and the people they elected).

No one is justifying attacks on civilians, but your assertion that this has absolutely nothing to do with occupation is absurd.

HAMAS is not a static group of guys that have been around for 40 years. They are continuously getting new members and recruits, and guess why people might be driven right into their arms? Maybe you start to hate the people who occupy your land, hold you down as a child and break your legs, and indiscriminately kill civilians and journalists during raids into your home.

Sure it’s a recruitment driver but that doesn’t change the fact that Hamas doesn’t care about Palestinians and is a terrorist organization. Their behavior is inexcusable and the current state of Gaza is a direct result of their violence (against both Palestinians and Israelis). They are not some sort of organization to be defended and right now isn’t the time to try to do that while they are literally killing scores and scores of civilians.

It’s like defending ISIS during one of their worst atrocities because they are Sunni and used Shia on Sunni violence to recruit.

Also if you scroll further in this thread you will see a lot of people celebrating the attacks.

I read the whole thread and didn’t see a single person celebrating these attacks. Where are the “lot of people” you mention?
