Hamas’s Qassam Brigades has threatened to execute Israeli captives if Israel continues to bombard and kill civilians in Gaza.

“Any targeting of innocent civilians without warning will be met regretfully by executing one of the captives in our custody, and we will be forced to broadcast this execution,” said Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’ Qassam Brigades.

“We regret this decision but we hold the Zionist enemy and their leadership the responsibility for this,” he said.

    “Israel are the good guys because the international community has stopped them from completing the genocide at a quick pace”

    God I really hope a ethno state claims your own land as theirs, puts you in an open air prison as it gradually steals pieces of it for its owns settlers year after year, denies you food and medicines. Shoots women, children, medics and reporters in your community.

      Work on your reading comprehension, because you conveniently ignored much of what I wrote. The Jews were genocided. They don’t want to genocide others, unlike their opponents.

      20% of the state of Israel is Palestinian/arab, with full citizenship and rights. It seems their behaviors are motivated by self-defense, not destroying an ethnic group.

      If I my country theoretically started a losing war with our neighbor and then refused to make peace when we lost, I’d expect to be occupied by hostile soldiers and be denied autonomy until my country did. When a hostile army is occupying and guerilla attacks or riots/uprisings happen, people get shot. It’s almost like there are consequences for endless violence and open warfare against one’s neighbor. No side has a monopoly on victimhood here.

      The fact that you would wish such ills on others for recognizing this, that you look at this conflict in such a reductive way, is telling of your character.
