Israel is under attack

can you talk to me? instead of a strawman version of a leftist?
Okay, fair call. My sentence there was unhelpfully flippant. But I stand by the sentiment. Palestinians are humans and can be expected to do better than massacring civilians. Millions of them don't do this. Modern leftist ideology just sees oppressed people responding like machines to oppression. So often, their agency is reduced to merely deterministic reflexes. I think this reductive approach diminishes their humanity and utterly distorts causality.

on the contrary, (imo) sociology and psychology are disciplines of growing, learning about ourselves, etc... i can love the human, have compassion for the human while also condemning the human's words and actions.
 
Everyone should watch this. The only ethnic cleansing that has been done was done to the Jews by Muslims. Jews also accepted a 50/50 split state proposal in the past, it was Palestine that declined such an arrangement.
He's made some very interesting videos. The amount of money involved is crazy, I mean I figured they must be doing alright if the Hamas leadership live in Qatar but they are literal billionaires. Even Bin Laden at least kept up the pretence by living in a cave or some shite apartment block.
 
Source?

Is he lying in this video? From the 3 I've checked he sure isn't. I haven't looked into all 7 he talks about yet.
He regularly mischaracterizes the deals that were offered in an attempt to make Israel sound better. The video you posted before even said that, the one with the guest on morningjoe

This dude also regularly cites the bible as a source which is just absurd
 
To expand on that, Hamas actively blocks civilians from leaving both Gaza and the areas that are going to be bombed.
They block them as in armed road blocks and patrols, forcing them to choose between being human shields and being gunned down.

Hamas in Palestine is like ISIS in Iran, they rule because they have the only armed forces there and what they say goes or else.
i think you mean Iraq/Syria not Iran.

But yes, they are using people as human shields, then use collateral damage as propaganda that "jews bomb civilians"
 
I'm not going to believe the 4000 children number until I see verifiable reports. It doesn't seem realistic to me.
50% of the population of Gaza is 18 or younger... I assume by children they mean anyone younger than 18. The "65% women and children" figure is actually better than what you'd expect from indiscriminate bombing based on statistics/demographics, since 75% of the country is either female or minor.
 

IDF finds Hamas weapons factory next to Gazan children's bedroom​

The IDF found a Hamas tunnel entrance placed near a kindergarten in northern Gaza on Thursday.​


 
@someguyontheinternet

Hamas launches 20,000 rockets specifically intending to cause mass civilian casualties with no greater military objective - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hamas gonna do what Hamas gonna do

Israel launches 100 rockets trying to kill Hamas leaders and kills some civilians - HOLY SHIT FUCKING WAR CRIME GENOCIDE, THIS IS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE

Why does the world look at one as unacceptable, but the other is just something Israel has to deal with?

The only difference is Hamas isn't very good at making rockets. If they were, nobody would be questioning Israel one bit.

It's a huge hypocrisy in my eyes. Nobody is mentioning Hamas committing war crimes, only Israel.

Attempted mass murder is somehow excusable I guess?
Your numbers are both very off regarding the number of rockets fired by each side.
