    But do you condemn Hamas?®

    Most people don’t support war crimes.

    But, at the moment, it’s war crimes vs. bigger war crimes. The question is, is the perpetrator of war crimes willing to stop war crimes when it’s the only conceivable leverage to stop bigger war crimes? Big war crimes likely doesn’t give a fuuuuuck about the little war crimes though - they literally killed the hostages in several situations. They are just pitching a tent because it’s an excuse for them to do even bigger war crimes.

      See condemning Hamas is a joke to you. I see people cosplaying as Hamas as Palestine protests. Cosplaying as genocidal maniacs.

      Condemning Hamas would have been the smart move for the Palestinian movement. But it’s too dominated by hatred to make smart moves. Which is why it’s only the young and naive that support it.

        I can’t take you seriously.

        First, Israel has committed war crimes against Palestinians for decades. When nobody plays by the rules there is no point in quoting the rules.

        Very few people condone killing civilians or taking hostages. Most people support the liberation of the Palestinian people and peace.

        Which is why it’s only the young and naive that support it.

        Only the naive think that the situation is anywhere near as cut and dry as you seem to imply it is. And only the gullible think any fraction of the population worth mentioning are cosplaying as or celebrating the actions of Hamas.
