Gundermann Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 4 hours ago, Seaside Dave said: Is there any one on here that is pro Palestine ? Can I ask a genuine question that I asked on twitter only to be blocked by 6 people because they actually just didn't answer the question Are Hamas the good guys or the bad guys ? Hamas are bad guys created by Israel who preferred them to more moderate and secular Fatah. Like the US helping the Taliban because they were anti Soviet. Short-termism that comes back to bite you. Israelis are prisoners too, albeit not as constrained as the Gazans. Surely it's in their interest to create peace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not "pro Palestine" but I'm tired of the same old rhetoric and listening to western govts telling us basically we should never oppose anything Israel does , condemn Hammas (righltly so) while ignoring the plight of the Palestinians , who have become ghosts in theor own country , where Israelis continue to this day stealing their land. Palestinians have been abandoned by the world (even Arab states have zero interest in helping them diplomatically/politically). Hammas are very much the bad guys and have basically seized power following the last ections nearly 20 years ago. They are nothing more than Iran sponsored terrorists. For all the damage they have caused to Israel (and Gaza too) they are not an existential threat to Israel, who could've wiped them out over the years if they chose to.
