How can Hamas do this
They can't, too busy actually murdering and planning on their next murder operation using the UN funds.
Yes, but they aren't doing this in addition to that like Israel is. Pretty bad when the good guys are as bad or worse than Hamas.
You sure about that? Breaking limbs and beheading hostages is better in your book than this?
Israel over the last 20 years has slaughtered so many Gazans it makes the recent Hamas attacks kind of look puny. Neither one of them is justified. And yes I'm sure this is just basic verifiable facts that everyone who's been paying attention knows.
Why did you switch your argument from "Israel is worse because they are not only killing but also humiliating Palestinians when compared to hamas who only kill" to "Israel has killed more Palestinians than got Israeli people killed"? It's only natural to have Israel less casualties because Israel actually tries to protect its citizens before and during attacks, when compared to Palestine.
I literally didn't change my argument. I think you're reading comprehension is failing.
I got no problem with Israel trying to protect their citizens. What I do have a problem with. Is them running an open air genocide camp. Giving people little option but to host or tolerate Hamas. And killing indiscriminately. Israel could be doing things differently. Should be doing things differently. But people like yourself don't care and we'll defend them to the death. Refusing to give them any valid critique.
Israel could be doing things differently.
How for example?
Refusing to give them any valid critique.
By "them" you surely mean Israel. What if I tell you the same about hamas? They said they will not stop their attacks until they destroy Israel, that's about 9 million lifes. I give a valid critique to this: fuck them, it's valid for any country to intervene and try to stop hamas. Would be great of they could educate Palestinians properly after that, but removing such a threat is a priority.
How for example?
Gee, I wonder how you get rid of an extremist resistance organization built out of the hatred of a people that has been subject to horrific apartheid conditions for their entire lives. Maybe undermining that hatred by treating palestinians like human beings is worth a shot? Or we can go ahead and keep killing their families, I'm sure that'll get rid of hamas.
Can you explain at least in a few sentences what do you mean by "been subject to horrific apartheid conditions for their entire lives"? It's not like Palestinians live underground and get bombed every day. What exactly makes their lifes a hell that you mention and how do you see it. Be specific, provide examples (it's okay if they are not sourced, but they have to explain the picture at least).
Most gazans have been restricted to the gaza strip under a blockade for as long as they can remember. They've been unable to import certain foods and materials for their entire lives (even pasta wasn't allowed until more recently). Sometimes, hamas or pij launches a few rockets, and maybe they kill or injure a few people if any. Israel responds by bombing the shit out of Gaza, destroying homes and killing families. When they try to peacefully protest, hundreds of them, including children medics and journalists, are killed by snipers, and tens of thousands are injured.
"58% of Gaza Strip residents required humanitarian assistance with 29% of Gazan households living in extreme or catastrophic conditions, the top two tiers of severity, against 10% in 2022."
In the west bank, Palestinians are forced out of their homes. They aren't allowed to use certain roads. They regulary are abused and killed by settlers (who aren't supposed to be there under international law), and the idf backs the settlers up. It's apartheid according to international organizations.
If I was in those conditions, and my friends or family were killed by settlers or an airstrike, I would probably want to join hamas/pij/PFLP too.
