I know this it may come across as insensitive to ask, but is their an unbiased timeline of events of the last decades or so that have lead up to this? The threat, perceived or real included from both sides? I'm just so disturbed by some folks feeling that this attack was justified and even celebrating the rape and murder of children that I have to know why they at least think they are justified. I'm flabbergasted and kinda shocked by all of it.
I’ve been doing the same, I guess I never fully understood how the Hamas even formed in the first place. But regardless, some of my findings just absolutely put support of them out of the question. These western hippies don’t realize what they are supporting:
Hamas literally has no problem killing their own people. In fact they use their own people as human shields. The cowards retreat into the cities for this purpose, they want civilian death. They launch a missile on Jurusalem almost everyday, but Jurusalem has the iron dome which is super fascinating amazing tech. But a more grim finding was that a significant portion of missiles hamas fires doesn’t even reach Israel and just end up landing in Gaza, killing their own people. Even the way they came is power is highly suspicious and questionable. Like I strongly believe most Palestinian people, especially if including women (which you should), don’t want anything to do with these people.
No matter what, Hamas cannot be in charge there. I still think Palestine should one day have it’s own state, and my feelings on Israel are still mixed, but Hamas cannot be allowed to exist.
