I see what your saying. I assumed that everyone understands when people groups are involved, whatever flavor or variety, are never all good or all bad. But I believe what your saying is these posts serve as a reality check to those who have chosen a side and believe that they are " the good guys". I can understand that position.These posts are important because they highlight the double standard with which this conflict is covered in the West (and really, everywhere else).
The Israeli government is full of religious right wingers intend on making all of historic Palestine a Jewish state. Hamas took advantage of the inattention of Israeli leaders who were more focused on elevating Jewish religious issues over everything else, to the point where they aimed to take control of and weaken their supreme court. That is not Democratic. And yet, all of Israel's allies continue to describe the country as THE only democracy in the Middle East.
There is a hypocrisy here that needs to be called out. More people need to know about the military service exemption for religious folks in Israel, settlers' treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank, and the origins of Likud and other extremist parties that dominate the Israeli political scene.
“WeSt BaNk SuPpOrTs HaMaS!”For those that always say but "but HaMaS!", as an excuse to justify Israeli's brutal violent aggressions. What about the West Bank, where there's no Hamas there, so why do they get keeping getting killed, dispossessed, and subjugated to a brutal violent oppression and attacks?
Israel strikes mosque in occupied West Bank refugee camp
Palestinian officials say two people were killed in the attack on Al-Ansar mosque.www.aljazeera.com
There's also a power dynamics, imbalance and asymmetry, where the occupied see the need to resist the brutal violent occupation, and the occupier and colonial entity sees it as it has to reinforce its violence and occupation on the oppressed.
I doubt this is true...For those that always say but "but HaMaS!", as an excuse to justify Israeli's brutal violent aggressions. What about the West Bank, where there's no Hamas there, so why do they get keeping getting killed, dispossessed, and subjugated to a brutal violent oppression and attacks?

And:Israeli’s military said the strike on the Al-Ansar Mosque early on Sunday killed several “terror operatives” from Hamas and Islamic Jihad who had been using the building as a command centre to plan attacks.
The idiot mayor of Toronto shutdown and denounced a protest in support of Palestine a couple weeks ago. She kept referring it as a "pro Hamas" rally, absolutely disgusting. She claimed they didn't have a permit to protest. Thing is, you don't need a permit for a peaceful protest in the city of Toronto.The media/propaganda aspect of this war reeks of Iraq war/post 9/11 times.
The YouTube channel for the UfC literally spliced out Islam (mma fighters) post fight interview to not show his support of Palestine.
Its the tiny things
Literally didn’t know that the capital building was breeched by “Jews for Peace” group unless I saw it on Twitter. zero media coverage. CNN didn’t even have it anywhere on its website. Like ANYWHERE.
Protests have 0 coverage. Pro-Palestine protests banned. Etc.
