Gaza has been burnt to the ground

166. Yes, I've heard that exact propaganda here many, many times

Maybe next you can tell us that they have no regard for human life, etc.

Also, it's hard to imagine why an oppressed society confined for decades in an open-air prison with restricted access to resources would harbor any ill-will toward its oppressors.

Now, before some hair-trigger fool accuse me of "justifying the attack" or any similar bullshit, let's be clear: Hamas is a terrorist regime that should be eliminated permanently. Nothing justifies the October attack nor any of the horrific crimes that they committed before or after.

However, I'll need something more independent and verifiable than your say-so before I buy into the propaganda that "a majority of Palestinians support Hamas." Even if they do, is Netanyahu polling them individually before carpet-bombing neighborhoods, schools, and hospitals while invariably and unverifiably claiming that these are harboring Hamas terrorists?

Even if we accept the propaganda that "a majority of Palestinians support Hamas," how does that justify the slaughter of the others? And does that give Hamas moral permission to kill Israelis because some certain fraction of them support Netanyahu in his murderous campaign?
