  Well this is factually just not true. Israel kidnaps many Palestinians even children without evidence and releases them after a “holding period”.

  They often do this just to bully Palestinians in the west bank.

    Wow those things are exactly equivalent, I can’t believe different terms are being used /s

  This is a question of perspective though.

  Obviously i don’t hold their views but I presume hammas has some justification along the lines of Israelis being criminals.

    You cannot possibly be serious.

      Of course I’m serious.

      This isn’t a question of who’s right and who’s wrong. It’s the simple and obvious assertion that all parties think they are right.

      Hamas combatants presumably feel their actions are justified.

        Hitler probably thought the holocaust was justified.

        What an utterly idiotic point.

      Why not? For them they are illegal settlers. If someone started squatting in your bedroom, wouldn’t you consider them criminals at some point?

        Have Hamas even bothered to accuse them of a crime?
