Hamas has sent hundreds of warriors into Israel territory and committed horrible atrocities: killed and tortured and abducted and wounded many people. Israel stroke back hard and harsh.

Israel has treated the Palestinian population on the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip harsh in the past decades. I dislike Natanyahu and his right-wing government(s) for that terribly.

I do want Israel to remain an independent state. I want jews to have a place of last refuge.

I dislike religious states.

I hate states that allow only one religion. That means, all islamic states are hated by me. All muslim-dominated states sooner or later forbid all other religions, and atheists are just killed off because they are subhumans. All muslim-dominated states are against personal freedom, against rights for women, against rights for LGBTQ+-people.

I am pro democracy, freedom, personal responsibility, tolerance, equality, social justice.

Therefore, I am pro democratic states and anti dictatorships.

I hate terrorists, and religious terrorists are the worst.

I hate Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Fatah, Islamic Jihad, Iran, Saudi Arabia, all states who support them. They are abhorrent. Any of those would kill me and my wife just like that, because we are two women living together, because of many other of our characteristics.

Each time Israel has a fight with other people, I start with being pro Israel and against the others.

In principle, I am against anything that Hamas does, they are killers.

Hamas invaded Israel and randomly killed, raped, tortured, and abducted Israeli citizens and also military.

In this case, I stand with Israel. In this case, I am against Hamas.

Israel responded by blowing up hundreds of buildings in Gaza, and with that, killing hundreds of citizens. In that case, I still don't stand with Hamas, and I do not stand with Israel, but with the Palestinian citizens, and I hate the Israeli leadership for randomly killing citizens.

Still, I am in favor of Israel.

The Palestinian civiliansin Gaza have let Hamas rule them. A population gets the rulers they deserve. They had the chance to get rulers with more sense, more diplomacy, more wisdom. They let Hamas rule them. Now Israel problably takes the dicision to ban all Palestinians from Gaza. I am afraid, a lot of Palestinians will be killed, lots of children and elderly. And Gaza will be completely and utterly destroyed.

I hate that.

Still, I stand with Israel, and I hate Hamas, really hate Hamas.

Israel has treated the Palestinians badly. There's only two groups of people who were worse against the Palestinians than the Israeli.

The first group is the countries surrounding Israel. Their treatment of Palestinians is horrible, much more horrible than what Israel does.

The second group is the Palestinian leadership, who not hesitate to sacrifice thousands of their own civilians just to make Israel look bad. Kill a few hundred Israel citizens, maybe even some soldiers. More Palestinians.

Hamas leadership knows they have no chance against Israel military. They just sacrifice their "martyrs", and big portions of their civilians. Just to make a point.

So, again, I stand with Israel, that goes to great length to protect their civilians.

And anybody who tells me Israel only wants to kill all Palestinians, and all muslims, please explain me why the West Bank and Gaza have millions upon millions of Palestinians, and why Israel allows them to get food and water and energy and more?

Anybody who tells me Israel hates Palestinians, please explain me how millions of Palestinians live inside Israel, and how many Palestinians are council members in cities, and how Israeli parliament has several Palestinian members.

I prefer a democracy over any (religious) dictatorship.

I prefer a country that has human rights, women rights, LGBQ+-rights, over any country that gives no rights at all to such groups.

I could live now in Israel.

Hamas would kill me now.

Stop all the killing.

The media seem to be confusing Hamas with Palestinians in that to the media the are all as one.

They need to make it clear that Palestinians live under Hamas, and have been denied elections since 2007 (i think i read 2007).

@zleap
Indeed.

But that still does not matter much for my story.

Hamas is suppressing their own Palestinian civilians worse than Israel does. Hamas is pure evil. While Israel has been providing food, energy, water, and medical aid to Gaza.
