October 7 Crimes Against Humanity, War Crimes by Hamas-led Groups

Gaza was an open air prison enforced by Israel taking total control of Gaza’s borders, both north and south and even their sea border. It was a humanitarian crisis of people dying from lack of supplies like food and water.

What do you do as Gaza?

This is some timely reporting… I hadn’t heard about this event!! /s

What even is the point of this post? We all know Oct 7 was a horrific, disgusting operation. We all agree Hamas is evil. It’s almost like a certain group of people are still trying to justify the ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity by Israel in Gaza and the West Bank.

Actually, contrary to what you think you read, no one is doing that. The article was posted today, by human rights watch, so maybe you could email them asking about their timing. And there’s nothing in there about justifying violence.

However, I find it intriguing that you overlook the only other comment under this post attempting to justify Oct 7 (posted 40 minutes prior to yours). Almost like there’s direct evidence supporting the opposite of what you’re baselessly claiming.

That post is not attempting to justify it. It’s explaining the reason. There’s a difference.

Torturing a person to death is wrong. But if a person is a victim of rape and domestic violence over a period of time by someone and they end up torturing and killing that person, I think most people understand why they did it.

Also, why did you post this? Are you trying to justify the actions that have been going on for almost a year now? Do you think it’s OK to kill 30,000 civilians and torture millions more in response to 700 civilians being killed?

It’s not justification, it’s a reason?

Justification:

the action of showing something to be right or reasonable.

Reason:

a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event.

Reasonable

based on good sense.

I won’t be responding to you anymore.

Edit: I’d like to document here (for myself mostly) how simply posting an article critical of Hamas’ actions is considered by members of this community as justifying violence.
