    What Hamas did over the weekend was far beyond “war crimes”. Innocent people die in war, no question about it sadly. But to go on a rampage of indiscriminate rape, murder, kidnapping and destruction is not how war is waged, it’s simply terrorism. One by one, they slaughtered civilians, young and old, men and women, people from different countries and of different religions, even babies and pets. Lets not give them the dignity of calling them “warriors”.

    And now innocent people in Palestine are going to suffer as Israel strikes back hard, perpetuating another round in a cycle of violence going back decades in a region that has been contested for millennia.

      That is exactly what war crimes are. War crimes are a step beyond murder.

      You are falling for atrocity propaganda again. No, Palestinian freedom fighters did not go “one by one” slaughtering babies.

        And on what authority can you say what did or did not happen? Were you there?

        I have zero credibility to say what actually happened, and neither do you.

        But you are now asking people to disbelieve their own eyes and ears, because it’s 2023 and (un)fortunately many of these atrocities have been caught on camera. Most of it’s on tape my man.

        Palestinian freedom fighters

        Nobody was fighting for Palestinian freedom in this weekend’s terrorist attack. You don’t win your freedom by indiscriminately massacring innocent civilians. Anybody with more than two neurons can see that Palestine is worse off today than it was a week ago thanks to the actions of Hamas terrorists.
