How is force working for Hamas? The shift in general sentiment towards Israel came from Israel's blatant disregard for civilian life and from their apartheid politics being put in spotlight. Hamas are still regarded as terrorist savages by everyone sane and their Oct 7 attack served as an excuse for Israel to set them back and hunt them regardless of collateral casualties, terrorizing their compatriots

On examination of the evidence, Hamas appears to be an organization dedicated to harming Israel, not helping the Palestinian people (or improving public opinion of Hamas). In this regard, I would say that Hamas has been very effective at provoking heinous overreach by the zionists, causing severe damage to Israeli credibility. To Hamas, it seems that Palestinian deaths are the price they are willing to pay, being integral to their strategic mission and personnel supply chain.

You seem to think the conflict will be decided by the vibes and sentiments of people who don't matter.

Why would you think so? The conflict will most likely be decided by Israel (and by extension USA) having the biggest influence both globally and locally, and the biggest guns, but there is no misconception about it, so I decided not to add it.

While there are useful idiots in any situation (especially inside the UN), the level of sympathy for them - while was never high is going down steadly

Noone is responsible for others' (overre)actions.

So if you think justice for Palestinian civilians is their cause, it's not them who are responsible for it winning hearts and minds globally

It’s sounds like you think it’s brilliant that more Palestinians were killed as long as it negatively affected Israel’s PR.

lol

Both sides always assume that people must fall on one side or the other instead of disliking both and wishing they would stop trying to make their hundreds of years religious regional conflict the world's problem

> wishing they would stop trying to make their hundreds of years religious regional conflict the world's problem

This is an entirely backwards way of portraying the situation. American evangelical Christians are by definition not based in the region.

They believe that they must supply Israel with the weapons it needs in order to bring upon apocalypse.

You don't believe in anything according to your posting history, except the most egregious thing

I want anyone who believes they are superior to others because of their origins to be put to death.

Coincidentally, that’s a core belief of “the chosen people”.

But don’t try to dismiss me as some kind of an antisemite, I don’t think the Germans were sufficiently punished for their crimes either.

I know it’s not a pleasant subject, but it is possible to reason about these things https://www.popehat.com/p/we-should-talk-about-the-morality-...
