historian says

Can we please stop using these nonsensical claims? What historian? A Reddit armchair hero? Can you please get an actual known historian with a name?

Having said that, Israel has been committing genocidal acts for decades now. What Hamas did is awful and despicable, but it's a proverbial bloody nose they dealt to Israel in comparison.

Religious extremism in Israel is to blame for this, IMHO. They claim that their gods says it's okay that they steal houses, the Israeli government acts as if it doesn't happen. Palestinians then protest this, get arrested, tortured or shot. Kids throw stones, get shot. Israëli government acts as if their nose bleeds.

Then they hit back hard, and now their nose IS bleeding and everybody is "poor Israelis"

No. I feel for the families that have their loved ones killed and kidnapped, I do, and Hamas must be stopped. However, we can't simply blame Hamas and completely ignore what Israel is doing right now and more importantly, what it's been doing for the past 60 years.

It. Has. To. Stop.

I somewhat agree, but, maybe read the article.

Raz Segal (Hebrew: רז סגל) is an Israeli historian residing in the United States who directs the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies program at Stockton University.[1] He has written multiple books about the Holocaust in Carpathian Ruthenia.

**That ** historian.
