If only people could understand the basic concept that hating a government is possible without hating the people living there.

Israel claims to be a democracy and also commits genocide.

Democracy and genocide are separate
Israel is by definition obviously not committing genocide, the Palestinians population is only going up

One of my favorite quotes:

If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.  - Marjane Satrapi

Different situation, same idea.

Exactly. Hamas is a monstrous organization based on the most corrupted religious fundamentalism, but I have nothing but love for the people of Gaza.

Reminder that Hamas is widely supported by most Palestinians

53% of Palestinians believe Hamas is "most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people"

I know that Israel has been doing nothing but brutalizing Palestinians, but Hamas shot back a few times so they're basically the same.

I didn't realize "doing nothing but brutalizing Palestinians" includes providing power and water to the gaza strip because the Palestinian leadership was too corrupt build power and water treatment plants with the numerous millions of dollars of international and Israeli aid earmarked for that purpose.

My dude, Palestine has been attacked by terrorists and forced to split its country in two. It's irellevant if the terrorists then went "here, have some money you poor fucks". They still stole the land and homes of the people living there. They still are responsible for a mass exodus, and the destruction of a nation. They still killed millions to keep that land theirs.

Don't get it twisted. Their humanitarian efforts are not because they're good people. They're just so they can keep feigning legitimacy and moral superiority.

But it seems the ship has sailed and everyone's collective mind doesn't go back before the 1990s, so I guess fuck Palestine, what a mean thing to do, how dare you bomb the ~~terrorists that reside in your homes~~ civilians.
