Kinda like the extermination of a people including taking hostages, torturing hostages, raping hostages, and executing hostages?
Two wrongs dont make a right, but Israel is by no means worse than HAMAS.
Going by the numbers would suggest Israel is 20 times worse than Hamas. But, that was before they started one of the largest scale war crimes in recent history*... I would argue that Israel is, from what seems to me a rather objective point of view, to be much worse
*I'm referring to the war crime on 2.2 million civilians who are being cut off from water, electricity and food, who can do nothing about it, because of, you guessed it, Israel.
Why are you comparing the two? You're insulting Israel by comparing them to a terrorist organization.
The Israeli Government should be better than criminals, just as the US should be better than the Taliban. But they actually kill more. Like it or not, Palestinians are citizens of Israel and living on their territory. If Israel kills them indiscriminately, they are committing a crime against humanity.
Never were.
They are defacto subjects of Israel, since the State of Palestine has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. If you don't call them full "citizens" it implies they are second class citizens in a apartheid-like state.
Do you want to do that?
