journalism selects and promotes amoral little freaks that regurgitate whatever nazi bullshit they're told to without question.

The cost of doing anything but bombing civilians is too high for Israel, and this has been clear since 2006 or 2014.

If the IDF actually locates where the hostages are being held they’ll simply bomb the area to kill HAMAS members and go “Look what they made us do!” and all the freaks in the west will nod their heads and cite the death of hostages as the reason Israel should keep doing a genocide

Like it’s not even hyperbole to say the hostages best chance of survival is HAMAS’s restraint instead of hoping the IDF can control their desire to bomb civilians

But not Palestine, even though they’re the ones constantly faced with an outside country using their military to take over their land, place armed people in their stolen homes, and tell those people they’re free to kill Palestinians. The only thing they can do is peacefully demonstrate. Israel is allowed to kill peaceful protestors, however, because they have a right to defend themselves. I still can’t figure out why a violent reactionary group has formed in Palestine it’s such a mystery they just must hate freedom
