“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    Hamas look like angels compared to Israel.

    Idk if I’d go that far. Hamas is at least honest about it, though. They don’t try to hide the fact that they want every Jew dead. Israel will continue to genocide Palestinians while denying that the whole time.

      Completely false. They want the colony of israel gone and their land back. They are not interested in ethnic cleansing like israel.

      There are videos of Hamas members that invaded israel and DIDNT kill people on purpose. Many such accounts. https://youtu.be/rD7NI0tGbp8?si=uXg5km2BGCXkGosQ

      Of course there are outliers of people that just want to murder, but the Hamas policy is not the murder of every colonist.

      Now let’s not glorify Hamas too much and pretend they’re super nice people. They are a violent militant faction. But just like the Taliban, Hamas just want occupiers off their land. They’re not interested in going to America to kill all the non believers or any of that stupid stuff.
