Did Hamas value innocent human lives on October 7th?

See, I still don't see you getting the whole protesting thing, here.

Let's not try and pigeon-hole our way out of making ourselves look dumb by making ourselves look dumber, now...

Why does this type of question get deflected? Do you support what Hamas did on October 8? Person who values innocent lives

Your question gets deflected because it isn't asked in good faith. (Read: you're not good at trolling.)

Our comment thread is about you not understanding what a protest is, why people do it, and the societal function it serves.

Your inability to stick to that topic in this thread is yours to own and no one else's. It is you failing to stay in topic.

Your whining about topics I am not discussing with you is more logical fallacy, which makes everything you say thereafter have less credibility to everyone who sees it. This is why you will end up with a righteous amount of downvotes.

I wouldn't bother responding to this, unless that's some kind ego thing you can't ignore. I certainly won't be reading anything more from you.

I’m not even going to read your answer because I can tell it is in bad faith. Simple question requires a simple answer but I can tell by your wall of text you are avoiding the question. A simple no will stop you from embarrassing yourself further

Palestine is not Hamas. Can you imagine what it would be like for those who live in the US if everyone were held guilty of crimes the US has committed against the world?

Then condemn the actions of Hamas and assist Israel in bringing their leaders and soldiers to justice.

Hamas blew up some shit and now Israel is conducting a genocide and you're like "RAH RAH GENOCIDE!".

Hamas killed 1200 civilians. They would have killed more if they could have. The missiles stop when Hamas leaders are dead. Give them up.

It’s cute that you think there are rules here. These holy wars have never adhered to the Geneva convention. Why would they start now? Hamas could have targeted Military, a noble endeavor, but instead they attacked civilians at a hippie concert.

Israel has genocided 35,000 innocent Palestinians, mostly children. Stop being edgy and learn to experience empathy.

I’m not entirely sure you understand how war works. Just because you’re losing doesn’t mean you’re the victim. They can end it if they surrender Hamas. It’s not edgy, is just how it is and always has been.

Sleeping on the floor of a lecture hall isn’t going to change anything. The right has propagandized this war to steer voters away from Biden you’re all falling for it. The battle for Gaza and Jew/Muslim Israel/Palestine wars have gone on for centuries. Let them do what they’ve always done.

I don’t like the killing of civilians but there’s no front line. Hamas soldiers wear civilian clothes. Israel also doesn’t give a fuck. Surrender is the only optics the world will respond to. If they surrender Hamas, and Israel continues their barrage, then we should take action against Israel.

If you want to protest, support Palestinian businesses and boycott Israeli ones. This actually works.

You don't have a real response to my position so you immediately go off topic and begin personal insults. This tells me that you don't have an actual position here. /out

I never insulted you but I will now, robot. Your only “position” is “Palestine is not Hamas”. PROVE IT. The world wants to fucking hear it said from Palestinian leaders.

You have no real position, you have a script. Go sling your fascist rhetoric on Reddit. You aren’t welcome here. We see through your bullshit, bandit. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦.

You clearly don't know anything about the conflict. (Others can see your answer where you indicate to me that this was a "religion war", not trying to check how antisemitic Europe gave a colony to colonizer to avoid assuming it was Europe fault)
That sad because I'm sure you're smart enough to understand. But you prefer to say that others are robot/russian...

The Turks lost the area to the British in WW1. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. Everyone was a colonizer 100 years ago. But if we’re talking about colonization, the Arabs kicked the Jews out of Israel hundreds of years ago. Those damn colonizers!!! Good thing the Torah documents this and clearly confirms that Palestine is actually a “God-given” inheritance to the Jews.

But none of this is relevant because this isn’t a holy war 😒

Did the average civilian just living their life have anything to do with it?

Maybe we should ask civilian Shani Nicole Louk.

Oh but we can’t because her naked corpse was last seen in the back of a Hamas fighter’s truck being spit on by dozens of cheering Palestinians.

That image will haunt me the rest of my life. I can’t Imagine the rage born within an Israeli from that absolutely vile video.

Hamas not valuing human life = bad, evil people

Israel not valuing human life = totally reasonable and good behaviour

You wouldn't recognise consistency if it was banging out a 4/4 beat on your nutsack
