They’re as bad as each other
Utter nonsense.
Religion has a lot to answer for
Yes it does. But I suspect these cave dwelling deformities would find any other excuse.

@reprobate what would you do?
Post another graph implying, without actually saying, that Israel is worse???

I don't feel like this ends unless Hamas is completely destroyed. Iran could be pulling all the strings in the background too.
No doubt the Iranian leadership is - they've been supporting Hamas forever, not that Iranians give a shit about Palestinians.
I also agree that the only genuine path to peace is a Genghis Khan solution.

This unfortunately has a bit of an Afghanistan feel to it - it's completely unsolvable.
It's amazing how many people (Corbynite Lefties) seem to be celebrating the killing of innocent Israeli citizens.
This stuff should never be celebrated. Just a complete waste of life.
What happens when you promise one piece of land to two groups of people who don't want to share it
Correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't one group already there and owned the land, and had maybe for 1000's of years (its not like NZ say) and the other group moved in and forcefully took it off them.
And didn't this attack happen on Palestinian occupied land. That little bit they still have that internationally is recognized as theirs.

Can speak for Oz, but in the UK the biggest supporters of Hamas (to the point of refusing to condemn the attacks) have been some senior Labour & ex-Labour politicians and Green MSPs.
The police here have been surprisingly swift to point out that anyone publicly praising the attacks is breaking the law and will be arrested.

No. But apart from the fact that you are wrong, I don't see the point you are making.
Unless you're obliquely arguing it's OK for Hamas to murder 260 unarmed teenagers, rape others next to their friend's dead bodies and parade those naked bodies on backs of trucks because it's somehow their land.

@Tim Yep. This is pretty much all about Shia Iran trying to destroy the normalisation of relations between Israel and its Sunni neighbours. Something the Biden White House has been keen to disrupt as well given it was something Trump (Kushner) accomplished. And we can't have that!

"The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund, support, and direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States and allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails. The emails, which were reported on by veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Jay Solomon, writing in Semafor, and by Iran International, the London-based émigré opposition outlet which is the most widely read independent news source inside Iran, were published last week after being extensively verified over a period of several months by the two outlets. They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier."

I normally cringe when people are killed and internally express horror/outrage at their deaths - and I try to see both sides of the Palestinian/ Israeli issue and know that no side is perfect
But when I see the images and videos of Hamas' actions, I find it increasingly hard to stop myself thinking like I did about ISIS - kill as many of the fuckers as possible
