Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.

    The clock didn’t start on October 7th. Zionists have been massacring Palestinians since 1948. Palestinians have every right to fight their occupiers.

      One act of violence does not justify another. That’s the whole reason there’s now a genocide. You’re just taking it back a step.

        The reason there’s a genocide is because the Zionists want to exterminate Palestinians. It’s unfinished business. October 7th is just the latest excuse.

          It sounds more like you’re making an excuse for October 7th. And if October 7th resulted in a genocide, I’d say that it was not justified in any way.

            I don’t need to make an excuse. The Palestinians have been under a brutal colonial occupation for 76 years supported by the US.

              And that justifies October 7th how? How did it in any way improve the situation? How did Hamas think it would improve the situation for the average Palestinian?

                It’s all about the long game. Israel is increasingly being recognised as the ethno-supremacist apartheid state that it has spent decades gaslighting the world about. A new generation of US citizens are aware of the Zionist control of US government and are more pro Palestinian than ever. BDS is growing from strength to strength and gradually turning Israel into a rogue state.

                  So you’re saying that Hamas did something which allowed Israel to kill thousands of children because they’re all about “the long game?”

                  Maybe “the long game” isn’t worth it if it results in thousands of their own people’s children being murdered.

                    I’m sure Hamas didn’t think the Zionists would start a genocide but the fact that they are prepared to mass murder children proves that Israel is a racist and criminal rogue state which deserves to be treated as such.

      Yea, because escalation always solves the problems of Palestinians.

        It did. New countries recognized palestine as a state, many universitis diversed from companies supporting israel. Icc and icj sided with palestinians etc. Algeria sacrificed 1 million persons to get their independence.

          Yes, but France only had to gtfo of Algeria, they just had to swallow their pride, give up and go home. Where do you expect Israelis to go?

            Back to Europe. Or just give Palestinians back their stolen land and stop the apartheid.

              Ok, then Europe sends them back to Judea, where they were expelled from, since that is something you do :)

                  I don’t care about racist talking points, what I care is that Israel exists now and you can’t just make it disappear, that is what I am saying. russians can fuck off back to russia, french back to France, brits to Britain, etc. But not israelis, this is truly existential to them.

                  How would you like it if I said Palestinians are just arabs and can go back to Jordan/Egypt/Saudi/Syria/Lebanon?

                    No one is saying make it disappear. That is just Zionist psychodrama. Just end apartheid and give Palestinians back the land that was stolen from them. The European Zionists who pretend they’re natives can stay where they are. No one is planning on sending them back anywhere. Just end apartheid.
