Their comment is disingenuous at best.
It’s not as if there is violence being perpetrated by only one side.
First, the violences are not equivalent in both their scope nor justification. Second, both may commit violence, but only one is the cause of violence, and has been for the past century. It was one group that colonized the other. It was one group that ethnically cleansed the other to create an artificial majority. It was one group that manufactured an apartheid state because they wanted supremacy in place of equality. "Both-sidesing" this conflict does not serve any purpose other than to show everyone that you have your head buried in the sand and speak through vibrations propagating from your intestinal chords.
Will Hamas actually respect a ceasefire?
It is suspect that you ask this of Hamas and not of Israel which has established a rapport of not respecting or outright breaking agreements, at least two of which are notorious for leading to some of the most infamous massacres of innocents perpetuated or facilitated by the Israelis.
You cannot possibly be this daft, are you? Please tell me that you are actually arguing in bad faith because at least then the bullshit observed in this thread would make some sense.
Jfc, there is no justification for the shit the Shin-bet does. All of them must be tried in international courts.
Are you really going to look at those rockets and act like they're actions taken in the void? Are you going to deny that the actions, attitudes, and behaviors of the indigenous are symptoms and responses to the systematic oppression, forced colonization, and atrocities perpetuated by Zionists and their Israeli state from the past century? Have you been burying your head in the sand all this time, or perhaps you acknowledge the oppression but want the oppressed to become the perfect victims where they only peacefully protest only to be beaten and arrested in the occupied West Bank or sniped in Gaza as they try to breach the walls of their concentration camp with subsequent cheering from the IDF.
How is that even relevant when it is clear that it is not Hamas being targeted but the entire indigenous populace? It always has been.
A basement Israel built and then subsequently used as justification for war crimes. Oorah!
