So the ANC gets all the benefit of the doubt (in hindsight of course. Not while it’s happening) but Hamas which is working with people that have been locked into a concentration camp for 20 years are all supposed to be angels. Was Hamas working with a well trained military while locked inside of their concentration camp having to plan a giant operation in utmost secrecy?
Hamas was far more disciplined than the American military was in Iraq during Oct7. All while having suffered far more aggression.
The kidnapping thing you can condemn but Hamas has no other option to get their own hostages out which are deep in israeli territory. And israel doing it was fine with everyone.
The real bad thing was some soldiers deliberately killing unarmed Israelis. But again the rate (civilian casualty %) at which that happened was far lower than almost any insurgency. You don’t get people risking their lives to invade concentration camp guardposts if they’re not very very angry.
