[IMPORTANT] Hamas launches foot assault against settlements.

Eliminating Hamas without addressing the root cause will only result in another Hamas-like entity taking their place.

The terrorists in Israel need to be eliminated if you'd like to eliminate the root cause of Palestinian terrorist groups forming.

We can certainly expect some people to pretend Israeli terrorism against the Palestinian people is legitimate self-defence, no matter how foolish they appear when doing so.

Resistance to Israeli aggression will continue so long as Israeli aggression continues.

I’ve not seen everyone call everyone a terrorist. When a group kills civilians on a large scale, targets media and healthcare workers, breaks international law by using chemical weapons and booby traps, and engages in virtually the same behavior as other terrorist groups, calling it terrorism seems like calling a spade a spade.

If Israel used vastly different tactics, I don’t think people would be calling it terrorism. As it stands, I think it’s quite problematic to reserve the word for Islamic extremist groups only.

It's a telling admission when a person insists on defining all violence from one side as terrorism, even when it targets legitimate military forces and all violence from the other side as legitimate, even when it's disproportionate, wanton collective punishment of civilians.

How can such opinions be treated as anything but cheerleading for genocidal ghouls?

That article from Newsweek was published almost a year ago.

Newsweek tends to lean to the right and doesn’t always publish entirely factual information, either. In addition to being old, it seems like Newsweek left a lot of relevant information out of their article - like the use of white phosphorous and Israel’s targeting of healthcare and the media which, in terms of their behavior from a historical standpoint, is nothing new.

by the way suggest you read some of the above postings.from the opening of this thread.
Israel has falken into a trap along wither supports..
From BU Today ,an editorial:
Governments continue to fall for similar traps. Academics often compare terrorist organizations to a hydra, the serpent from Greek mythology. Each time the state tries to cut off the hydra’s head, two more heads grow back in its place. More than 20 years ago, Ismail Abu Shanab, a founder and high-ranking member of Hamas, told one of us, Jessica Stern, that the “genius” of the terrorist fight against Israel is that it feeds off of Israel’s “atrocities.” If Israel ramps up its fight against Hamas, it will only energize Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups and risk drawing Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, or even Iran into the conflict.
SURPRISE.

And btw regarding Palestinians veiws of Israel , from another source on the Brave browser:

Palestinian perspectives on Israelis vary widely, but some Palestinians do consider Israelis as terrorists. This view is influenced by the ongoing conflict and the perceived injustices faced by Palestinians. For instance, the article “The truth of the Palestinian cause” from The Jewish Chronicle discusses how Palestinians and their supporters often equate Israeli actions with those of terrorists, accusing Israel of committing acts that are seen as war crimes or crimes against humanity. This perception is fueled by the belief that Israel’s actions, such as attacks on hospitals and displacement shelters, are unjust and inhumane.

my opinion: Genocide is never justified..........but on the other hand the USA has elected a repeated felony convicted person for President ..who coulda figured that one ..?

The current date is January 6, 2025, so it was written a little over 11 months ago.

As I said, they left relevant information out of their article, including acts of terrorism committed by the IDF, and of course, much has happened over the past 11+ months which undermines their overall premise.
