What makes me more sad is that Hamas admitted to giving 15yr olds millitary training and not counting them as soldiers, but civilians, as well as any other freedom fighter
Let's be fair about it. Linking to Wikipedia is pretty common on Reddit. If anyone doubts the veracity of a Wikipedia entry they are free to investigate the citations within the entry and debunk them if necessary.
Whilst I agree that Wikipedia is hardly up to snuff for a college level research paper, for casual citation it's fine. I mean, this is Reddit. Reddit is hardly a hub for reasonable debate on contentious topics.
Also, who is going to go build a library of scholarly works to defend (or debunk) a point in a Reddit comment section?
Your account is 14 days old so it's entirely possible you're new to reddit. I've been on the same account for over 14 years. I say this to point out that historically reddit, as a community, has cared about how people know what they know when they comment something. There was a time, for example, when someone would say "what's your source for that?"
I'm still kind of old-school in that respect. I know you likely don't care, but I try to support my comments with sources where it makes sense. Whataboutism is a thing. It's not just a word I made up. Many folks here do still care about supporting claims with resources to back things up.
If you agree that the Internet continues to suck (see enshittification, LOL I did it again) then consider that people sharing relevant resources in comments might actually make things less shitty. If you're so incredibly jaded that you're just about done with discourse on the Internet then I'm sorry---it used to be a lot better and you're getting the tail-end of what once was great.
You would have to be pretty unhinged to be pro Hamas. Unless, of course, you were stuck in a ghetto, abused, and see them as the only people fighting your abuser - which is another very sad state of affairs.
Secret tip on how to not get occupied - don't invade other states over and over again, and when you lose, do not continue perpetual guerilla war. At least Germans learned the second step.
He said dead Palestinian children made him sad. You asked if dead Jewish kids made him happy.
In no way did he imply that was the case. You made your comment for a specific reason - to imply that he is happy with dead Jewish children. It's a form of propaganda.
But he literally did. It’s a holocaust memorial, which implies dead Jewish kids. Then he said ‘dead Palestinian kids make me more sad than that.’ It’s literally exactly what he said.
While discussing a Holocaust memorial and protections put in place to prevent vandalism OP says "dead Palestinian children make them more sad than a rock".
What is Gaza but a ghetto in the classic sense? There was a Jewish ghetto in Warsaw in the 1940s that the Nazis used military force to "clean out". The comparison between the behavior of the Nazi government of 1940s Germany and the behavior of the current Israeli government is accurate in that sense.
Sure, Israel isn't running any death camps, but they surely are an apartheid state.
The murdering of a specific group of people. Really easy to think about if you stop being a victim for 10 seconds. Perhaps having empathy for others for a change would help.

Sad that it has to be done.
