    They are not “settlers”

    It obvious we need to call things what things are in these situations. What Hamas did/doing is a war crime. What Israel is doing is genicide. All illegal settlements need to be removed.

      They aren’t settlers. They are fucking bullies picking on helpless people.

      Hamas are terrorists, but most Palestinians aren’t Hamas.

        According to the United Nations they are settlers. [link - March 2022]

        “There is today in the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967 a deeply discriminatory dual legal and political system, that privileges the 700,000 Israeli Jewish settlers living in the 300 illegal Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank,” said Michael Lynk, the UN Special Rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967

        Also, even though english is not my first language, I would argue that picking on helpless people is not synonym to killing people and/or dispossessing them of their homes and land.
