An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. This cycle of violence and repression needs to stop.
It's not an eye for an eye though. Israeli atrocities over the decades dwarf what has been inflicted upon them by Palestine and Hamas.
It's not an eye-for-an-eye because we shouldn't consider targetting civilians an option. If you want to call militias that target civilians terrorists, be consistent regardless of what uniform they are wearing.
You go far back in history enough and we can be here all day over who is guiltier
In this case you don't need to go back "in history."
By this logic, history doesn't exist and nothing that happened yesterday should matter today.
Do we get to go back far enough to the part where israel admitted to funding hamas in 2019?
You guys know this isnt a conspiracy, right? Israeli politicians flat out said this in interviews?
Because there's an obvious power imbalance and not picking a side just favors the already powerful?
Yeah. If we say "let them fight it out" then Israel is going to roll in and kill all the Palestinians.
Holy hand-waving-atrocities Batman
That's the point. The game is to be the last man standing with at least partial vision.
