Hamas has spent years stockpiling desperately needed fuel, food and medicine, as well as ammo and weapons, in the miles of tunnels it has carved out under Gaza.

    Imagine you have never had enough to eat, imagine you have to spend 2-4 hours a day just going through checkpoints to get to your brutal low paying 8 or 10 or 12 hour job to support your family, imagine you live with six other families all crammed together in a single building. You never had a chance to go to secondary education, you never had a chance to learn an accredited trade skill, you don’t even have a legitimate passport, you have no hope and no future and your life expectancy is 40 and its exactly the same for your kids.

    Then imagine your wife, your children, your brother, your sister, your nieces and nephews, and all the other people you live with in your building were all brutally murdered in an Israeli air strike. You sacrificed your entire life to provide for them and now they’re all dead.

    I’d kill myself. What about you?

      Again this still doesn’t justify terrorist Hamas’s brutal murders of civilians.

        You aren’t really imagining it, I can tell. That’s okay. Imagining life in a concentration camp is hard.

        Try. What would you do?

          Hamas needs to stop holding Gazans as prisoners.

          Imagine being so depraved that your response is to go to a concert full of teenagers, kill as many as you possibly can, raping a few, and then bringing back whatever hostages you could fit on your bike. Civilians! Intentionally targeting civilians! Yeah, that’ll make things better.
