• Over half of Palestinians are under 14 and most of them have never seen an Israeli in real life. Abused and mistreated does not begin to cover it. You’re the one whose naively trying to moralize this. When you treat people like animals they behave like animals and “mistreatment” to this degree creates very dangerous animals. Whether the individuals concerned deserved it is immaterial, this is the consequences of their governments actions of which they were entirely complicit.

      Oh. You misunderstand. I’m not trying to moralize anything. As a matter of fact it’s you guys who try to justify crimes of war and crimes against civilians as justified. I’m one hundred percent in agreement that what Israel as a country does against the Palestinians is horrible and should be stopped. Even though the general sentiment in my country is pro Israel. Especially in the older generations.

      However, my point is that the Hamas’ reaction is wrong and a war crime. I did not say I didn’t understand why they could be doing it. However, just because someone else is horrible doesn’t mean you have the right to do the same. As I said in another comment: Hamas attacking government, military or police buildings would have been a whole different story and I would have considered that a justified reaction.
