I think the author makes some good points. I'm currently mortified at what's happening in Gaza; the ridiculous forced relocation that isn't feasible which will inevitable lead to the deaths of thousands of innocents is horrifying, and shows you that the Israeli military is going too far in its response.

But, holy fucking shit, abducting some 20 somethings from a rave, raping them, then parading their naked bodies around as you chant "Allahu akbar" is a completely separate fucking ordeal, and you're delusional if you think those people "deserved it" because the rave was held on stolen ground. (another bizarre issue that makes me dislike the modern state of Israel - just fucking stop stealing land from these people, holy shit)

There is a mentality there that is just completely opposed to what I would consider the civilized world (yes, tankies, the civilized world - and, no, spare me your whataboutisms). Hamas literally fights for the destruction of Israel and the establishment of its own Caliph; a state in which they'll be permitted to abuse humans and commit whatever atrocities they want - just like all of these Islamic caliphates.

I stand by all the innocents on both sides, above all. But, getting to the perpetrators, as much as I dislike the modern state of Israel, I possess no burning hatred for them as I do Hamas. They are animals.

Fuck I really hate this timeline...

Edit: Just to clear up my point, I'm arguing that Hamas does not seem to be fighting "for their freedom", or anything noble. They're fighting for the right to be monsters, and are using innocent people in Gaza as human shields to accomplish that. Fuck Netanyahu for propping them up in the first place, the piece of shit...
