Is what Hamas did "okay?" Is Israel no better than they are?

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You want a good guy/bad guy so bad. Fact is that Hamas killed babies in their crib and that's vile and animalistic and way over the line. I simply acknowledge that fact while realiz8ng that Israel is an oppressor. I don't Ithink in black and white terms as I realize that the world has more nuance than 5hat. In fact, I feel sorry for Palestinians. They never got their Gandhi, but rather a bunch of violent ass clowns who don't give a shit about them.

No, exactly the opposite. I recognize that there is no "good guy/bad guy" dichotomy. There's only good and bad actions. Slaughtering non-combatants is a bad action regardless of who's doing it. You can't "justify" it for either side of the conflict, especially not by saying "the other side did it."
