Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.

    One act of violence does not justify another. That’s the whole reason there’s now a genocide. You’re just taking it back a step.

      The reason there’s a genocide is because the Zionists want to exterminate Palestinians. It’s unfinished business. October 7th is just the latest excuse.

        It sounds more like you’re making an excuse for October 7th. And if October 7th resulted in a genocide, I’d say that it was not justified in any way.

          I don’t need to make an excuse. The Palestinians have been under a brutal colonial occupation for 76 years supported by the US.

            And that justifies October 7th how? How did it in any way improve the situation? How did Hamas think it would improve the situation for the average Palestinian?

              It’s all about the long game. Israel is increasingly being recognised as the ethno-supremacist apartheid state that it has spent decades gaslighting the world about. A new generation of US citizens are aware of the Zionist control of US government and are more pro Palestinian than ever. BDS is growing from strength to strength and gradually turning Israel into a rogue state.

                So you’re saying that Hamas did something which allowed Israel to kill thousands of children because they’re all about “the long game?”

                Maybe “the long game” isn’t worth it if it results in thousands of their own people’s children being murdered.

                  I’m sure Hamas didn’t think the Zionists would start a genocide but the fact that they are prepared to mass murder children proves that Israel is a racist and criminal rogue state which deserves to be treated as such.

                    Oh, so you’re saying Hamas are stupid. Well, again, that sounds like October 7th wasn’t justified.
