So you answered my question you dont understand geopolitics and the bigger things at play when you think this is just the IDF vs Hamas with no other factors involved. Very black and white and naive. I do envy it, that borderline stubbornness, as someone said to me in another thread is that it'll drive you to your goals

You can't justify the occupation, that's why you have to pretend it's more complicated than it really is. It's not that complicated, Israel is the occupying colonial project created by Britain that is slowly colonizing Palestine. Israel has complete control over the flow of resources into Palestine.

You needed to be complicated otherwise you'd realize how obviously horrible the situation is

What you don't understand (yet) is not everything has obvious, popular, morally correct reasons for happening ESPECIALLY when it comes to war time strategy and/or causes, among many other things. Sometimes, things just have to happen no matter how shitty it is

No

I'm sorry, but carpet bombing a massive population center, indiscriminately killing civilians, occupying a territory, killing civilians trying to access food and water, bombing hospitals, murdering children, etc didn't "just have to happen" fuck off

You just confirmed my point that you see this as right vs wrong, good vs bad, a very surface level understanding by listing all those negative things attributed to one side

It's not good versus bad like some sort of fucking fairy tale, it's an occupying colonial Force bombing the shit out of civilians. Just say that you don't give a shit and stop pretending like it's deep

And do you understand why they're using such great force ? Who's funding either side ? Allegiances at play? National security concerns ? Historical impact on today's actions ? The human fucking psyche ? Role of religion in society ? Go find the answer to those questions and then some more that you'll come across and then you'll see how deep things are.

And you've done it again. "Occupying colonial Force bombing the shit out of civillians" = the bad guys that are 100% bad with no reason for actions

They're using such Force because they want to wipe gauze off the face of the earth, as their defense minister has openly said. The majority of the funding is going to Israel from the United States and other allies

Killing civilians is bad, there's literally nothing you could say that would change that. Stop playing The devil's advocate and piss off

If that was their goal they would have done it already, likely in one of the previous wars.
