Highlights include: having been well fed while Hamas fighters skipped meals and could not eat, seeing/hearing the struggle of the Palestinian people and their families and feeling deep sympathy, and being baked a birthday cake on their birthday which is now being reported as a “cynical gesture.” As we all know, it is very easy to acquire the ingredients to bake a cake in Gaza right now and there is plenty of time to spend baking it just so you can dunk on somebody. Israel’s barbarity knows no end. It will simply not allow Palestinians to be portrayed as human beings who have emotions, human connection, and empathy for even a moment.

    And in case any libs try and deny this… Hamas doesn’t have to be “moral” to do this. One of the biggest obstacles to a free Palestine is the Israeli dehumanization of Palestinians. Hamas has every incentive to try and show humanity, if for no reason than their own goals.

    Now, it’s not likely to move the needle much among Israelis, who seem to have gone fully Nazi now. And it’s not fair that Hamas has to be perfect while the IOF can do things that would make the SS blush; but that’s reality at the moment.
