Hamas doesn't even claim to represent all of Palestine. They represent the Gaza strip which they governed legitimately after a free and fair election. They would indeed probably win in the west bank too if the collaboration government there held elections, but the Axis of Resistance is a broad coalition of groups opposing the illegal "Israeli" occupation of their land and ethnic cleansing of their people, and includes all sorts of colorful groups like the Marxist PFLP and general-nationalist Lion's Den, as well as foreign groups like Hezbollah.
It's just that braindead western propaganda only talks about Hamas because they're the scariest to white people. They're "like ISIS" as the vile Zionist pundits are quick to remind you every time they come up in the news (simply a ridiculous, childish comparison). Calling it the "Hamas-Israel war" is intentional to obscure the fact that it is the Zionist entity that is waging a war against the entire population of Palestine, and has been doing so for decades.
What's frustrating to me as a person who's generally against violence is that Israel has a pretty elite secret police force and pretty elite special forces that they (apparently) haven't used at all to deal with the actual perpetrators of the October 7th massacre & kidnapping.
They just started bombing thousands of civilians to kill dozens, maybe hundreds of Hamas militants.
Like, surely they could have cut the head off the Hamas Snake with surgical strike teams infiltrating Gaza, probably the West Bank, and international locations in Qatar or wherever the leadership is.
Reasonable people could conclude that Israel had to respond to Oct 7th, and that the best target would be Hamas. I can't fathom how any reasonable people could conclude that bombing groups of people with 90% or more innocent civilians and the rest possible militants is a good response.
I can imagine that UNreasonable people might conclude that all Palestinians are guilty by association (because Hamas is their Netanyahu-supported elected government) and they're all militants (even the babies). Or those unreasonable people might believe that Palestinians aren't people worthy of protection.
So goddamned frustrating.
Israel could simply have not starved the people living in the Gaza strip to death over the course of decades while occasionally flicking airstrikes at them, which they were doing long before October.
I often wonder how people can forget this considering Isreal has been commiting genocide, ethnic cleansing, hate crimes since it's inception like wtf ?
Actually, weren't they severely embarrassed by those recent attacks, having been totally caught off guard? Maybe we're overestimating just how good their forces really are.
thankfully our great mods have already banned most of the bloodthirsty zionists on our end so we dont have to see their shit unless i choose to peek over into the instance this was posted from to see the full comments section
The cup looked rather big to me, but I didn't know how big 44oz was. Guys, it's 1.3 liters! Why tf are they carrying a 1.3 liter cup? Do they really drink that much in one day?
I'm going to walk directly away from this and I'm bringing my ten foot pole with me.
is going off the scales rn at some of the comments in this thread
