Tunnels an other facilities are only for use by terrorists.

    Sheesh. Wasn’t expecting it to be so clean cut, ao this is news to me. I’ve heard most Hamas leaders do not live in the Gaza Strip but in Qatar. In mansions. So Hamas is not only an evil that can be used to justify Israeli violence - but controlled opposition - because they don’t defend Palestinians from the violence either. Have I got this right? They really don’t care. That’s so sad.

      On top of that, Hamas has an estimated 60 MILES of tunnels and structures under the Gaza Strip. 60 Miles of potential shelter for civilians. What I don’t understand, is why 2.2 million Palestinians haven’t turned on Hamas at this point. Being Hamas is only 30 thousand (IDF Estimate, and probably a lot less now) strong.

        Out of the 2.2 million, half of them are children. The other half is probably too busy trying to stop said children from being slaughtered by missile strikes to start a revolution.

          The lack of a revolution, combined with public support for intifada is killing their children. Israel’s response to such a bloody attack on their civilians should be unsurprising.

        Thats a reallt interesting question, that I havent heard anyone else ask. Ive seen people say Palestinians are very dissatisfied with Hamas… But actually force Hamas to be useful to them? 🤔
