Got any other fun non-sequiturs to air out before answering the parent question?
People however, can understand why a resistance movement in those circumstances might fight back after the history of occupation and rights abuses that has affected the area.
To make that claim of "support" is simply dismissive and minimising a long, complicated history into a few second sound bite.
For absolute clarity: I do not support harm to innocent civilians of any country.
Cheering mobs beg to differ.
Israel analyst Dan Shueftan put it this way:
“I cannot imagine the actual disarming of Hamas. They're willing to go back to war to prevent it.
They're willing to have every Gazan die, literally every Gazan die to prevent it. And right now we're in the middle of a period in which they 10 days ago they had 28 bodies of dead hostages. They now have 13.
They are slowly releasing them one or two a night. Now, why are they doing that? They claim it's because that's how long it takes them to find them.
Nobody believes them. What they're doing is they're buying time because as long as they're handing up one body at a time, the first phase, the hostage release, is still happening and nobody moves to the second phase, meaning they're not violating the second phase as long as they're still bringing out those hostages. And what are they doing with the two, three, four weeks that they're buying by dripping out the bodies this way?
They're retaking the ground, destroying any opposition.”
