It seems that there are a lot of Israelis that believe that there are no innocents in Gaza. And one could argue that it’s possible that a significant majority of the population is hateful towards Israelis, considering the history.

If you agree with this argument, can you please explain why and elaborate? And if you don’t, how would you refute it? There is no data that shows that there isn’t a significant majority that’s hateful towards the Israelis.

DISCLAIMER: I’m not stating my opinion as I want to hear an unbiased opinion from you.

    The flood wasn’t just animals escaping their cage, it was a strategic defeat of the most advanced border wall in the world. They overcame incredible odds to break through it into the land that was stolen from them.

    Sure. This claim might even be true. And you’re right, it’s not fair to compare real people, fighting for their lives, to “dogs”.

    But it doesn’t undo what Hamas did to innocent* people, nor does it undo the fact that the Israeli government funded, supported, and propped up Hamas while suppressing the actual Palestinian parties.

    *lmao I just said I didn’t believe in innocence.

      Hamas is an actual Palestinian Party. The people in Gaza support them, regardless of the fact that Israel cynically empowered them to divide Gaza from the West Bank. A guerilla force can not survive without mass support.
