Edit: Blocked the author’s name, because it’s not my tumblr. I didn’t expect so many people to misinterpret it and respond in this way.

Edit 2: This is not from the same author, but it’s a reply to them. I think it might help clarify the post for those that are confused:

I normally don’t worry about usernames on tumblr, but since there’ve been some really out-of-pocket misconceptions in the thread, I don’t want anyone to harass them.

    On top of insulting my post for no reason, this user is also engaging in personal attacks. Obvious troll trying to start a flame war.

    Edit: This is a troll

    I don’t want to discuss Hamas because I don’t equate Hamas with Palestine, because first of all that’s Islamophobic. Moreover, abruptly referencing Hamas is a common tactic used by Israel and its supporters to deflect attention from the ongoing genocide and shut down conversations.

    Also, what kind of shitlord thinks it’s fine to be uncivil and offensive, as long as they explain why they’re being offensive and uncivil?

      I clearly explained why I was insulting your post while insulting it.

      And you claimed the situation was entirely 1 sided, so I brought up the Hamas attack, you then stuck your fingers in your ears and repeatedly claimed that this wasn’t about Hamas. I got frustrated and responded emotionally before editing my post 10s later.

      Keep ignoring any voice you don’t want to hear though, I’m sure you’ll learn and grow as a human being that way.

        You unfortunately did not provide any source tho. No one is talking about hamas here. Hamas isn’t the vetoing the solution to go back to 1967 borders it’s the US and israel. Oh wait did I just give you the solution, looks like I did.

          Again, if you say the situation in Israel / Palestine is one sided, you are inviting people to bring up Hamas.

          If you’re going to deny that Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack happened, then that’s on you to provide sources. I’m not going to dignify someone asking for sources on basic facts that have been widely covered in literally every major and minor news source.

            Your failure to provide a reliable source for your claims is not my problem.

            If you cannot provide a reliable source of your claims, your claim will be dismissed.

                You are tho. You have been very actively trying to play down Israel’s aggression. Either you are a zionist or a troll. 1 is a nuclear state that has the most advanced weaponry and backing from the biggest countries and financial aid from the whole world and the other is a resistance force that allegedly did bad things(which no one has said otherwise to you). Use your brain. And I think you are happy that you got your “solution” to a very “complicated” genocide.

                  Literally have not. Quote me where I do.

                  1 is a nuclear state that has the most advanced weaponry and backing from the biggest countries and financial aid from the whole world and the other is a resistance force that allegedly did bad things(which no one has said otherwise to you).

                  Hamas mass murdered over 1000 civilians and promised to do it again and again until all Israelis are dead.

                  I’m not defending Israel responding by killing over 10,000 women and children, but to claim that it’s an entirely 1 sided situation is simply inaccurate, and to claim that the situation is simple is asinine.

                    The 1000 number is not true and idk what this rant is about. Both are evil is just another way of saying “it’s complicated”. It’s not. Give the sources for the alleged promises. Even if we take it hypothetically one side is actively doing it while the other makes promises. Would you hug people that carpet bombed your whole family. I don’t understand the logic here. Don’t commit war crimes don’t make enemies. It’s that simple.
