> This will most likely be flagged immediately for not denouncing Hamas.

Wait, so why don't you denounce them in your post then?

Telling someone who is facing genocide for his people that is at best tone deaf.

It's ok. I'm well read on the nuances of internet communication. As tone deaf as it is. I'm willing to answer any questions from anybody about anything. There is nothing to hide here.

And obviously I don't have to denounce hamas. I'm just a regular dude I have no authority to denounce anybody. It means nothing for me to say that. Would I would say instead of denouncing.

Is that this entire situation is f*** up. No matter what angle you come from. No matter how you look at it. It goes back all the way up to the 1900s it's ridiculous. Hamas is being used by the government as propaganda. Literally lying about 95% of the things that they did. Which I'm not even sure how to even start talking about that too.

Normal humans shouldn't have to denounce the death of other humans obviously we don't want anyone to die not even one person doesn't matter who you're called or what group your from.

I see Jewish people as my brothers and sisters.

I made 1 comment under the original account. I thought everyone was able to see it. I login to my old account it's not there.

I tried to reply but HN kept hitting me with "your commenting to fast, slow down"

Which is something I've never come across not once using HN.

"Literally lying about 95% of the things that they did." Can you please clarify this? The WSJ just wrote about orders retrieved from Hamas prisoners/corpses to kill as many people as possible.

The interesting question for me is "do Hamas actions reflect the feelings of those they rule in Gaza?"

I fully agree with you about the f-ed-up nature of this situation.

Orders don't mean much when there's videos of Hamas taking care of Israeli babies literally taken care of them as if they were babysitting.

Releasing women multiple places.

There's videos of these things that people need to see that's being censored in real time on all platforms it's a 100% blackout.

It's insane.

Not to mention the IDF and the military and the settlers are literally faking videos about attacks posting them as if Hamas attacked them. The credibility of these people just shrinks every single minute that passes on by.

Keep your ears perked up. Media wants to separate everybody and they are coming for it. And unfortunately they are winning

I think the Western perspective is the 5% of real terrorism is not cool. It’s not really a media manipulation thing.

The Western perspective is wagging a finger at the exceptional excesses carried out by individuals participating in a slave revolt, in a prison break from a concentration camp, and turning a blind eye to the explicit and intentional targeting of civilians by Israel in carpet bombing residential areas.

And this is why matters of real human weight and import are often best avoided here.

It's ok. It's fine. It's much more important to have these conversations than not.

We're all mature adults here

Saying that you know you can and should denounce a terrorist group for slaying 1300+ Jews, and then not doing that, is a bit tone-deaf for the Jewish folks that are still in mourning from watching the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

Okay calm down. And lets start by you giving us an example and denounce the genocide and atrocities that is being done and will be done to to the Palestinians. And don't bring Holocaust in this context, It has nothing to do with any of this conflict.

He's fine. There's way worst then him out in the real world.

Like meta employees. Openly commenting on IDF propaganda meanwhile Palestinians accounts are getting deleted wholesale.

Plenty calm. The context of the past 100 years of Jews being slaughtered by the millions kind of does have to do with this conflict.

100% denounce Hamas for slaughtering Jewish people in their own homes. 100% denounce the Israeli government's treatment of Gaza. My heart breaks for civilians of Israel and civilians of Palestine.

That's good. But again the Holocaust is something was done to Jews by the German Nazis. You cannot just hold that against other people. If you feel that someone needs to pay the price then you might advocate for a Jewish state in German. That would be more suitable. That's a discussion that we can have and could disagree but not here.

But for now this is a post about potential ongoing genocide. Nothing justifies that and bringing the atrocities committed in the past against Jews are not suitable because it can be easily be interpreted as justification (they are not). And your choice of words is biased "slaughtering Jewish people in their own homes" vs "Israeli government's treatment of Gaza" does not capture the reality of the atrocities. But that's fine I did not expect that anyway.

I am a humanist. My heart is for everybody including the Jewish people who I see is my brothers and sisters.

I was raised in a Muslim household. We are not actually unfortunately as crazy as people want us to be.

I see everybody as my brothers and sisters.. I have no reason to hate.

Even if a murderous government with over 100 million dollars in military equipment wipes us all out. Meanwhile our people have almost nothing

They cut off the electricity the water The internet the food everything. It's 2 million people that's in now the world's biggest extermination camp concentration camp.

I feel for the Israelis I feel for the Jewish. I do not feel and will never feel 1 miligram of remorse for all the war mongers. For Benjamin netanyahu. For the likud party. For the atrocious decisions that this government has been making.

Which have led to this

Jewish people dying. The blood is on Benjamin's hands. He knew the attacks were coming it's proven already. They spent over 10 billion dollars on that border you think they don't have the knowledge.

They knew about the attacks since September. Egypt warned a whole 3 days before it happened. With proof.
