We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Maaaan fuck this shit. I hate centrists so much. Is there an EnlightenedCentrist community on lemmy yet?

You say you look at both sides to "stay utmost rational" when it is so fucking easy to clearly condemn the actions of Hamas, a terrorist jihadist group, and see how Israel keeps promulgating the conditions for extremists groups to crop up, oh and they are also committing a genocide. Like if you care about innocent people dying, like these festival people, OR MAYBE kids, then you'd want Israel to stop this shit. Your centrist attitude is the logic that will get more people killed. You take a more passive approach and just raise your hands while Israel is mowing down people saying "I can't see the difference between the two! They are the same! So what is best is I take no action and take no stance while I sit on this iron wall and watch all of this happen.

Before I get all the regular responses, I am just going to copy and paste my other comment. I won't be bothering responding to you if you don't read it and make a comment I already address.

The median age of Palestine is 18. More than half of the people living in Palestine didn’t vote for Hamas, and it isn’t like this jihadist group will allow fair elections as they consolidate power. And even then, Israel isn’t allowing an avenue of diplomatic relations when they control essentials like water, keep taking land from them, killing journalists and diplomatic leaders, and bombing schools and hospitals (Israel has a well documented history of bombing Palestinian schools and hospitals).

The only way diplomacy will work is if Israel gives major concessions and they never will. Israel is creating the situation where extremists will rise and come into power. We saw this many times with America and Al Quaeda, Isis, taliban.

Let me ask the questions: Is Palestine its own state? If so, then Israel shouldn’t have control to all of these resources like power and water. If so, then they should actually autonomous. If so, why does Israel keep taking land, killing them?

Is Palestine part of the state of Israel? Then why do they do this to their own people? Because they “elected” Hamas? Then why does Israel put them in a condition to allow extremists to form? Imagine you are given a choice to die of starvation, dehydration, a bullet or rocket. That radicalizes people and gives them the ignition to take on arms.

And keep in mind I am not condoning Hamas. They are a jihadist terrorist group who are also harming the Palestian people. If they cared about Palestine, they would not have done the Oct 7th attack because they’d know Israel would retaliate 100 fold. Hamas are pieces of shit. Israel is creating the conditions that don’t allow diplomatic way forward, and allow the rise of extremist groups.
