Why is there so much sympathy for the Gazans?

Why do they deserve so much sympathy for starting a war they can't win?

We should have sympathy for any innocent person that dies.

Because in the oppression hierarchy, they are above the Israelis

Outsiders see Israel bombing hospitals and residential areas. They fail to grasp that Hamas fires rockets from these areas, making them a military target. Israel takes shite for killing civilians, and Hamas wins the PR war. Nobody gives Hamas shite for embedding their soldiers with civilians, they just call Jews mass murderers. Rinse and repeat.

It’s not so much much sympathy for them as much as it’s antisemitism. More people just hate the Jews. Baffling.

There are very few innocent adults in Gaza. Children are really the only victims but they are victims of their own parents and their decisions.

Because conservatives back Israel and it's right to defend itself.

I thought the big bad IDF (with help from Mossad) might be a little more precise instead of bombing the whole place and starving out everyone. Yeah, yeah, I know, the hospitals are Hamas, the schools are Hamas, the journalists are Hamas, etc.

Most all Gaza citizens are Palestinians.
All Hamas members are Palestinians.
Some Gaza citizens are Hamas members.

Hamas deserves no sympathy.
Gaza does not equal Hamas.

I have sympathy for anyone who is innocent, but there were a lot of those Gazan citizens who were on tape celebrating the October 7th massacre.

If those that celebrated got dropped into a wood chipper I wouldnt shed a tear.

Dont start any, wont get any.

I think it's funny the Jews are called colonizers when the Muslims absolutely went on a tear to colonize the hell out of the area. Recency bias I guess.

People don't like Jews and college kids are dumb and just want to protest something. China's genocides don't count as a good protest subject for some reason.

Because one side of the coin always needs the other side of the coin in the United States. If Donald Trump tomorrow convinced the right to care about Gaza, the left would instantly support Israel.

Both sides have innocent's, both sides have assholes, and it's a regional conflict that was should abstain.

This is almost every single political position. If you interviewed 100 people at random, at least 60% of them would have no idea about Israel and Gaza. It's the same with gun laws, abortion, corporate tax rates, ect ect.

The people of Gaza overwhelmingly elected a terrorist organization that openly states its number one goal is to kill all Jews in Israel and wipe it from the map.



Elections have consequences.

They can die then. But the children had no part of being born of scumbags.
