    As for impoverished palestinians - your precious Hamas spent ungodly amount of aid $$ to build a whole network of underground tunnels with munitions delivery systems inside right under their city and towns. Maybe Palestinians in Gaza would not be so impoverished if their internationally recognized terrorist leadership in Gaza would spend that money to actually improve lives of their own citizens, instead of their heroic efforts to smuggle arms and explosives and build city under city full of bunkers and arms.

    I think your argument about Hamas being the source of Palestinian poverty is absolute garbage considering Britain left Palestine with more infrastructure than Israel currently allows with their occupation. It would also help if Israel didn't bomb their hospitals and then block aid from entering their territory.

    And considering my tax dollars go towards funding you maniacs, I'll go as SJW from the outside of the conflict as much as I please.

    Yeah, that’s privilege... we are privileged to not live under fascist rule... us using that privilege, to rob it in the face of civilians that are being bombed, is fucked up. You do understand what’s wrong with privilege blinding you? Because this response sure as hell implies you don’t.

    Imagine, having borders closed with what amounts to enemy state that shoots rockets into your town and cities for many years.

    Guess we should cuddle them more, maybe then they will send nicer rockets.

    Yes, in fact, whom you should blame for this shit IS Hamas. It is a US/EU recognized terrorist organization and not for show. Sorry for not being SJW enough to allow free for all access to what amounts a hostile state ran by what amounts to ISIS under different name.

    I don’t know...

He is a civilian... so is his family... How the fuck are comments like that supposed to mean that this is about saving civilians or giving a shit about the conflict?

    Yeah, real privileged to have to actually live the conflict, then be told by someone who spent pages talking about civilian casualties, pretty much tell him he doesn’t care, because he doesn’t live there? How the fuck is he the one being attacked for privilege.
    His nonchalant disregard for human life on the other side of the Israel border is what makes him a sociopath. If he was in this thread just expressing the concern for the safety of his family I wouldn't be responding to him the way that I do. A casual look into his post history demonstrates that isn't the case.

    Yes, because I totally have to shed tears for people who indiscriminately bomb my country in the most insidious manner there is - from inside their own cities targeting our cities with their random rockets.

    What am I, Jesus F Christ?

    Disregard for human life, what a joke. Tell that to Hamas that literally stockpiles weapons and explosives in civilian houses and uses them to barrage cities over the border right from inside their own cities.

    You expect me to be a saint while my family's under fire? Screw you and your SJW crap.

    No, I mean the ultra orthodox hardliners, like the Hilltop Youth and god knows what else goes on in that godforsaken land.

    "Hilltop Youth is a term commonly used to refer to hard-line, extremist religious-nationalist youth who establish outposts without an Israeli legal basis in the West Bank. The ideology of the hilltop youth includes the claim that the Palestinians are "raping the Holy Land", and must be expelled"

    Hamas fires rockets that are immediately nullified by the iron dome and Israel responds by leveling entire buildings for weeks on end killing women and children. Yeah man, I totally see your point.

    "They can't", except they magically conjured thousands of rockets from the thin air they indiscriminately firing at our cities and all the monstrous infrastructure to support that.

    Man, imagine if they'd put all that effort into like... building another power plant... or another hospital... or maybe another desalination or sewage processing plant. Would be nice.

    You just don't get it. You never do, you're miles off the target constantly, good lord.

    What I said is I don't live there so I don't care about the long term consequences that his own political beliefs are going to bring in to normal, moderate Israelis. It should be his own duty as a moderate citizen to find long lasting peace. Hint: bombing the shit of your enemy isn't.

    Yes, we care to invest in protecting our citizens. Sorry for not dying so easily.

    Maybe if Hamas would not fire rockets from under fucking buildings in Gaza, their citizens would not need to worry about it either.

    No, it means he has more at stake... he isn’t just privileged to be in a country not being bombed... by not giving a shit and mocking him, even though he and his family are civilians, kinda makes all cries of civilian casualties mean a lot less.

    Hamas doesn't speak for all Palestinians, and not all Palestinians want Hamas to speak for them even.

    You have to be dumb as fucking box of rocks to think that Hamas is some benevolent Government looking to actually build up Palestine.

    They're a militant force. They're twats. Their actions do not make it acceptable to kill innocent Palestinians.

    Saying their actions would make it acceptable to kill Palestinians means it would all of a sudden be acceptable for Iraqi rebels to wanton turn up in the US and start blowing up buildings because the US wrongly invaded Iraq. Since you know US Army invading = All Americans bad.

    "Duty" as a moderate citizen?

    My "duty" is to care about my family and our wellbeing. It does not include crying over a bunch of people who don't even give a fuck about their own.

    "Moderate" Israeli citizens? What you describe as "moderate" is more like "batshit crazy", because no "moderate" and sane person would sit in his house with rockets exploding above his head and think about how we should go ahead and hug those who fire these missiles. We will fight it out and then when dust settles we'll see what's next.

    No sorry you don't. You really don't care about your own people, otherwise you'd realise that the direction you and your government is taking is going to cost you dearly. And I'm not talking about hamas. I'm talking about those elements that usually, in the rest of civilised countries are kept on the fringe of society, that you (and by you I mean you in person, not a generic "you"), with your racial hate, have allowed to run freely into the policy making process. You don't realised how fucked up your situation is. You're building your own giant domed grave over there and you don't even realise it.
