    Are you condemning Israeli war crimes with equal vehemence?

    We’re in a post which trying to meme on a Hamas war crime. You’re trying to distract from the topic.

    In fact, given the ridiculous power imbalance and the disproportionate power and scale,

    War isn’t a sport, it’s not something that’s going to be fair. In fact wars between factions that are equally matched go on for longer and result in a greater loss of life. Also it was known by everyone that Israel had significantly more military capability than Hamas, yet Hamas decided to massacre villages on October 7, 2023 which initiated the current iteration of hostilities, took hostages which necessitated ground operations (which result in higher civilian casualties) and did not wear uniforms in combat operations (which further increased civilian casualties and made it impossible to ever know how many casualties are civilian or combatant). The actions of Hamas was clearly done to maximize Palestinian casualties so they could have imagery they could use for propaganda purposes to get more money from international sources.

    The sad thing is it worked, Hamas successfully monetized Palestinian suffering which means they have a profit motive to continue to do things which will cause more suffering in the future.

    The Palestinian movement has become a hate movement, and those kinds of movements have historically been incapable of understanding how they’re being manipulated. As long as you get your dose of dopamine from seeing suffering and expressing hatred, Hamas will continue to profit and continue to provide you imagery of suffering to keep the cycle going.
