It's utterly fascinating to me how stupid we've become:

  1. Support
  2. Oppose

There are only 2 options. Nuance is for the extremists or something

It's the level of pacifism any westerner gets on as soon as the oppressed fight back. These galaxy-brained "all sides bad!" posters would rather the oppressed just follow Gandhi's advice and do their enemies job for them.

Imagine understanding the difference between murder and warfare

Not to say that Israel isn't comparable to nazi Germany, just that the mindless violence of Hamas isn't a solution that will lead to anything other than more genocide...

If Hamas had kept to military targets there wouldn't be the same backlash. You can't say it's the "oppressed fighting back" when they're literally just murdering civilians at a music festival.

How are guerrilla fighters with far inferior numbers, technology, and funding supposed to target military and government sites and not get wiped out within a week?

The same way they did this, except instead of killing hundreds of civilians, they attack militarily important infrastructure and government posts. Almost like there's clear intention that Hamas is set more on collective punishment for the Israeli people than actually accomplishing jack shit for the liberation of Palestine.
