Most gazans have been restricted to the gaza strip under a blockade for as long as they can remember.
Is it so bad to be able to live on the land you were born at? Or do you go “I can’t be a tourist so I have to kill Israeli”?
They’ve been unable to import certain foods and materials for their entire lives (even pasta wasn’t allowed until more recently).
“If I can’t eat certain food it’s justified to kill Israeli”?
Sometimes, hamas or pij launches a few rockets, and maybe they kill or injure a few people if any.
Thanks to Israel’s defenses.
Israel responds by bombing the shit out of Gaza, destroying homes and killing families.
Thanks to hamas launching rockets from civillians objects. And thanks to Gaza’s (absense of) defenses. Go on, blame Israel for the fact that certain people build rockets and launch them from certain places, instead of building defenses.
When they try to peacefully protest, hundreds of them, including children medics and journalists, are killed by snipers, and tens of thousands are injured.
Those “peaceful protests” more than likely included people using slingshots. Do not fuck with an army, especially if it’s an army of a different country.
“58% of Gaza Strip residents required humanitarian assistance with 29% of Gazan households living in extreme or catastrophic conditions, the top two tiers of severity, against 10% in 2022.”
It almost looks like they could spend those humanitarian funds on improving their households. But not after they use enough to build tons of rockets, naturally.
In the west bank, Palestinians are forced out of their homes.
How does this work? There was a house where you lived, then someone comes and tells you “this is no longer your house”? Or “even if we never created a proper country, we always thought these were out territories, and then someone came and developed stuff of them, and we got sad and angry”?
They aren’t allowed to use certain roads.
Roads that are crucial to be able to live properly? I don’t suggest to stay still while you get restricted. But you gotta think what can be done about it, instead of doing terrorism. Especially when the world shows signs of caring about you. For many years too.
If I was in those conditions, and my friends or family were killed by settlers or an airstrike, I would probably want to join hamas/pij/PFLP too.
You would probably want to join people who practice launching missiles from other families’ places so they get killed, and do the same. That’s not smart.
Yes, I don’t think terrorism is always bad. Would you condemn the ANC, the Native Americans, the Viet Cong, Nat Turner, and the Algerians for doing what they had to do to fight oppression?
Seriously, what do you propose? Israel doesn’t want to spend resources on war. Hamas doesn’t want to spend resources on anything but war. Israel will not liv
And you still didn’t explain exactly what’s happening to Palestinians that would suggest their choices are justified. Maybe if they’d be forced to live near an active volcano or something I’d consider stuff. But as it is now, they are being thrown to get killed, by hamas and not anyone else.
The native Americans and nat turner lost, the Viet Cong, the ANC, and the algerians won.
I did explain what conditions justified revolutionary violence and you said apartheid is ok actually. If you aren’t willing to listen, I’m just gonna stop responding.
Did any of them practice terrorist attacks on peaceful citizens, took hostages, broke their limbs, beheaded them and let their citizens spit on their bodies? Which exact part of strategies like that worked for them?

No, your explanation is literally “they lost homes and were getting killed” with no specifics. It doesn’t add up with anything: how it was (not) exposed in media for years, how those deaths are only a result of specific acts of violence from Palestinians themselves, how they live in a “total isolation” that allows them to get work permits in Israel (whose numbers were increasing too), how hamas produces tons of fake news to appear more of a victim, how there is no evidence of systematic hate from the Israel side and tons of evidence of systematic hate from Palestinians’ side.
Palestinians’/hamas’ desire to destroy Israel is ungrounded, irresponsible, and idiotic, which basically means their violence is unprovoked. Israel is the opposite. Same as Putin with his idiotic reasoning for violence, hamas with their idiotic reasoning for violence should either surrender or be defeated as aggressors.
Yes, the ANC used to put suspected collaborators in tires and burn them alive. They also took civilian hostages and killed civilians in bombings. The Viet Cong killed about 150k civilians. The algerians killed French people regardless of their combatant status.
If we go back in history, Israel was built on ethnically cleansed land. In 1948, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were ethnically cleansed by the Zionists militaries. Since then they’ve continuously been oppressed, and their land has continued to be stolen. Currently, they live under apartheid conditions according to human rights organizations.

Why do I have a feeling all these parties still have much less in common with hamas?
If we go back in history
If we do we’ll surely find that many other people lived there, not just these 2. But some people still want to judge a land by it’s past when it benefits them.
Again you didn’t explain how exactly this affects their lives to an extent that they see violence as the only option.
This justifies armed resistance.
I would even agree with that. If only it would look even remotely as a resistance. As something that would eventually give a chance to anyone to get whatever they call “freedom”. But it’s just not that. It’s a suicide. Hamas can’t defeat Israel with terrorism, and even in a strange course of events it would, I can’t see how it can become a proper country anyway. They would lose all support and wouldn’t be able to sustain themselves.

I can’t take you seriously when ur defending apartheid and settler colonialism like that. Disgusting.
Says someone who defends terrorism?
Yes, I don’t think terrorism is always bad. Would you condemn the ANC, the Native Americans, the Viet Cong, Nat Turner, and the Algerians for doing what they had to do to fight oppression?
Did any of them ever win their fight?
