    Without the 7 of october, this comics would be right. But after that, adding a Hamas fighter with a Kalashnikov hiding behind the Palestinian civilian would be more accurate.

    The horrors Hammas did that day was cruel and inhuman, and so does the Israeli responce since then. In such a situations, it is difficult to chose a side.

        Not anymore, after being mostly whipped out by the Israeli military.

        Nor the Israeli government, or the Iran aligned armed groups (Hamas, Hezbollah) are worth of being supported, the only worthy side is those who wish for peaceful and respectful cohabitation.

          So you support Hamas?

            If you’d take a look at Hamas ideology, I’d call that far from peaceful and respectful.

              Hamas supports a peaceful resolution and two state solution. They had a very nice peaceful march in 2019. Similar to the west bank. Even Hamas recent statements are very reasonable and try to reach a peaceful resolution.

              Say ,which party is the violent one which tries to expand their Lebensraum and refuses all attempts at peace again? I recall there being an order for a party to directly distantle all their illegal colonies in the West Bank.

                Then should I suppose that killing civilians, men, women and children on the 7th of October was a way the peacefully resolve the issue? (Note that this also applies to the Israeli response since too).

                Both side has showed they have no intention of peacefully resolve the issue. They both know that their power depends on keeping the hate alive, and fuel each other perfectly.

                  There is a difference between a peaceful resolution and a peaceful resistance.

                  Hamas tried the peaceful resistance in 2019. Do look up how Israel responded.

                  Better yet, look at the West Bank right now. Tell me how that peaceful resistance is working out against israel.

    A lot of the commenters seem like they would have denounced the french resistance as being terrorists.

    I don’t think people really understand why “terrorism” and guerilla tactics happen - they come about when there’s massive power imbalances.

    No government is perfect, leadership and political factionalism gets particularly bad during war, as do the various inhumanities and war crimes. Usually in the hands of the greater power dehumanization is involved in the desire to exterminate, in the lesser power a seething revenge and fearless demand for the right to life to the point of wanting to exterminate the enemy totally.

    It is very much true that “one man’s freedom fighter is another’s terrorist”…

    …but in the end we have humans killing humans, and that’s the real problem. A problem which is currently serving the US military industrial complex which Israel is contractualy obliged to preference, and much of the US funding for Israel is spent back into that industry.

    The war pigs get fat on human blood, and they don’t really care whose it is, as long as there’s a lot of it. Meanwhile Israel can be seen as aligning with US geopolitical interests, seeking the destabilization of Russias allies and perhaps even annexing oil resources. This is modern rationale for mass killings and war.
