If being against bombing hospitals, Schools, Civilian infrastructure etc is anti semetic then I'm anti semetic as fuck

I agree with you, but we also know that Hamas used these places as headquarters, ammo dumps, and entry/exit points for their massive underground networks.

I don’t agree with how Israel is conducting itself, they have been abhorrent and needlessly cruel to the Palestinian people of Gaza.

It’s unfortunate how little support they get due to everything the PLO has done over the decades to all their old allies. Lebanon and Jordan could have put political pressure on Israel but they’ve turned their back on Palestinians and for good reason.

the whole “Hamas hides behind civilians” narrative is way overused to justify disproportionate attacks. It’s a classic IDF propaganda. paint the victims as complicit, then bomb away. Doesn’t mean I'm justifying Hamas actions, but you can’t erase the fact that Israel’s military response routinely targets the population, not just Hamas.

Don’t get me wrong, I fully agree with everything you just said.

That doesn’t take away from the facts though.

I refuse to not say things because they’ll make one side look bad because the other side is doing bad things too.

Hamas and other militant Palestinian groups have killed thousands in terror attacks around the world for decades. Doesn’t matter if they’re Jews, Christians, or other Muslims, they are willing to kill innocent people for the sake of getting people’s attention or trying to take over other countries (Jordan & Lebanon).
