do the right thing, politics or no politics.. we need leaders who can work fearlessly for the people

[@saednoor5766]

Yeah fearlessly by targeting innocent lives hospitals schools mosques churches sure is very brave. His a coward who needs us and uk support

Why is the Chinese 🇨🇳 regime backing Hamas organization and committing Muslim Uyghur genocide at the same time?

[@Nart-hx7nn]

For the same reason that the US is now aiding Israel in doing an ethnic cleansing geneocide campaign and protecting it for over 75 years of constant violation of international law and war crimes, it is just a matter of interests

[@herticate8579]

hamas fell from grace, it endangered its population and knowing the danger of provoking massive retaliation they went with it, of course i am not saying that Palestine shouldn't resist unfair illegal occupation by Israel but it should try to do it in better way, as not to stoop as low as committing war crimes just like ruling party of Israel.

I'm not arguing against your point, but Gazans tried peaceful protests. People, incl ones in wheelchairs, journalists and medical personnel were gunned down by Israeli snipers. The media reported it as "the usual" instead of another case of repeated war crimes that will go unpunished. So what is there to do, when the occupation is without morals and have an unlimited ability to inflict pain on you?

As long as differences are not settled, no one in this part of the planet will enjoy life, and are condemned to live in fear and hatred.

[@andreicristian9575]

I don't think that applies to Israelis. They have a great army, great economy, the backing of the world's superpower and its media. Sure they got caught off guard once, but I don't imagine this would continue many more times, without Israel taking advantage of it to flatten Gaza. Whether you like it or not, this can only end one way, with the elimination of one of the 2 incompatible cultures, and the other one taking its land.

It's true. The policy of Israel was to keep Hamas propped up so they could claim they had no legitimate partner in negotiations - meanwhile they could just continue stealing Palestinian land, with silent US acquiescence of course.
