The IDF are a colonial occupying army. I think the Palestinians are responding to them the way the entire rest of the planet would.

Theyre neither colonial nor occupying. They’re invading in response to a foreign government massacring their people. The reason for the massacre was to force Israel to respond and thus damage Israel’s normalization of diplomacy with Saudi Arabia.

Hamas isn’t fighting off colonial oppressors. They are engaging in politically motivated terror strikes designed to weaken the standing of a people they want to exterminate, at the cost of the lives of their civilians.
