If you cared about Palestinians, you would be fighting for Hamas to issue uniforms, so that civilians and soldiers could be clearly recognized.

What did Ukraine do when Russian invaded? Pulled out civilians and issued uniforms to men.

What did Hamas do? Force civilians to stay in their homes, use those homes as operations points, give guns but no uniforms to men.

How exactly does one fight for that? These googlers saw an opportunity -- their employer took a contract from a belligerent in the conflict -- and they acted on that opportunity to protest. What opportunity do any of us have to influence Hamas's sartorial choices?

None, because if Hamas issued uniforms they would lose the war. Their main source of support is making sure civilians die. They do the opposite of what every non-delusional theocratic hellhole does, and purposely mix their civilians and military.

Good to see you acknowledge that your original appeal was not in good faith.

> so that civilians and soldiers could be clearly recognized.

Didn't seem to help the WCK crew who got a bomb dropped right through the logo on top of their car.
