So do you condemn the IDF?
I'd rather they didn't have to kill innocent people but I'm not going to condemn them for responding to the butchery of their citizens and the
continued holding of hostages including babies and young children. Hamas could put a stop to this right now by surrendering all the hostages. All the deaths are on their shoulders, not the IDF.
Honestly, what do you expect Israel to do, tiptoe around with special forces in an attempt not to kill anyone and end up sacrificing lives on their side to free hostages who shouldn't have been taken in the first place? Get fucking real mate, if this happened to any other country on the planet they would respond the same or far worse. If it were America, UK, Russia, China, then Gaza would have been flattened or glassed immediately.
This all reminds me of the EDL and Tommy Robinson in the UK. Everyone ragged on them for their boisterous behaviour, condemning their 'Islamophobia', when in reality they were purely reactionary to the
fact of the Pakistani rape gangs. The EDL and Robinson wouldn't even exist if the root cause hadn't happened in the first place. Condemning the symptom and not the cause is ridiculous logic.
So stop trying to play the equivalence game. No one is buying that shit anymore. The IDF, American or British militaries are far from angels, but that is besides the point. We're actually at the situation now where all it will take is one more Jihad attack on western soil, or some violence this Saturday in London (Remembrance Day), and the public are going to snap. Everyone except the diehard fools of the far-left are sick of this bullshit.
You can only cry wolf so many times before you use up any right to sympathy or an olive branch of peace. Butchering 1400+ civilians and taking hostages has crossed that threshold, and Hamas knew it would do so. Claiming you are a peaceful religion then having hundreds of thousands of people, in many different Western cities, coming out to demand a ceasefire instead of outright condemning the Hamas attack and demanding they release the hostages.. that crosses the threshold.
People are done with this crap. We have enough problems of our own than to continue entertaining this delusional fantasy of peace when one side clearly does not want it and has just proven they do not want it.
