Though Hamas is not the best neither is Isreals military, Thu, 07 Dec 2023 10:28:58 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360697?scroll_to=3199989 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360697?scroll_to=3199989 She mentions the violence and compares it to the holocaust, she always only seems to acknowledge the deaths of Israelis and not the blood being shed by Palestinians. Immediately her speech appears bias in favor of Isreal.

In my opinion both have their reasons.

The Arab/Muslim Countries however, have sided with Palestine.

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 14:22:11 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190650 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190650 Gaza civilians are suffering from just as many casualties if not more than civilians in Israel. Simply because Israel's military force is a lot stronger than Hamas causing one to look like more of an aggressor but it's not a competition lives are still being lost at the hands of this war. Mon, 20 Nov 2023 18:32:16 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190419 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190419 Israel is requesting civilians of an already overpopulated region to flee to the south to be "safe" from the danger they themselves are inflicting, knowing that it is not just the north being bombed Mon, 20 Nov 2023 10:16:32 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189917 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189917 They announced a "complete siege" which meant cutting off all basic living necessities to those in Gaza and forcibly trying to get them to surrender.

Their attempt was to overthrow Hamas but they failed to mention the lives in danger while this attack happened. Sun, 19 Nov 2023 16:35:31 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3187664 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3187664 Though the initial attack was made by Gaza, Israel response was only far worse. Because of Israels power and authority they've decided to not only put the citizens of Palestine in danger but have revoke any basic necessities they've provided to them. Restricting them from things like food, water, and fuel. Then there's this idea that they're advising them to go south to protect themselves from the bombing in the north but they should never have to flee their homes because of conflict created by a specific group.

These regular civilians fall as subjects to these terrible circumstances because governors like to compete on who can shed more blood on the enemy territory is upsetting. Wether either side is out for revenge from the other I think killing families, destroying homes and terrorizing citizens is by far the most inhumane way to do so. Thu, 16 Nov 2023 10:08:08 -0500
