(4,205 posts)I blame Hamas for starting a war they could not possibly fight, knowing that the world would be receiving horrifying visual feeds of the children whose deaths are on those who have put and kept them in danger.
Kudos to Hamas for convincing the world that there is nothing wrong with hiding under hospitals and schools and mosques and homes.
I blame Hamas for blocking innocent civilian egress to safety zones
I blame Hamas for stealing food trucks and selling them to their own citizens
Kudos to Hamas for convincing the world that the sovereign nation they attacked is not only responsible for feeding, providing water and electricity to the entity that attacked them, but also responsible for a starvation that is actually non-existent and could only happen because Hamas is hijackung aid trucks.
I blame Hamas for failing to negotiate/adhere to a meaningful ceasefire or surrender given how many of their own people have died.
I blame the media for not realizing that no one has died of natural causes in Gaza for a year (all counted as war casualties), for not realizing that Hamas has changed the age and sex of many dead so as to increase women and children counts, for failing to report that there have been more births than deaths in Gaza this year
I blame the media for failing to recognize the efforts the IDF goes to warn citizens to clear areas that are going to be bombed because
Hamas
but instead claim genocide when targeting civilians is exactly what Israel is trying not to do
But hey, its Chanukah so a guy can dream right?
Happy Holidays to you
