    Agreed. It’s wild that Hamas would just kidnap and murder a bunch of people on the very first day that history began.

      I'm not saying this is the first thing that ever happened, this is like hundreds of years in the making after thousands more years of history.

      I'm saying if you do what Hamas did, you don't deserve support.

      See my other comment on whatabout guy on Israel too, because how they're doing what they're doing is wrong too.

        Did the slaves in Santa Domingo who wrought terror on old society and killed white settlers not deserve support? How about the American slaves in the Nat Turner rebellion who slaughtered whites? As I've shown, your description of Al-Aqsa Flood is nonsense, but even so the terror of the oppressed is simply a product of the oppressor; violent resistance to Israel is a response to their own violence, of which all of this could be ended by Israel agreeing to end their occupation/apartheid system. Israel has the complete power to eliminate these conditions of oppression that brought Hamas into existence.

        You compare Gaza to the Warsaw ghetto and then say those who revolted went too far and lost their legitimacy. Go tell the concentration camp inmates how to correctly revolt so they will be deserving of your support! Ridiculous.

        "Why, it was like reading about France and the French, before the ever memorable and blessed Revolution, which swept a thousand years of such villainy away in one swift tidal wave of blood—one: a settlement of that hoary debt in the proportion of half a drop of blood for each hogshead of it that had been pressed by slow tortures out of that people in the weary stretch of ten centuries of wrong and shame and misery the like of which was not to be mated but in hell. There were two ‘Reigns of Terror,’ if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the ‘horrors’ of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the ax compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heartbreak? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves” — Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Ch. XIII

        Yes, it is unconscionable that prisoners in an open air concentration camp would dare to lash out at the group running the camp. That's why Nelson Mandela went to jail, after all.
