  Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
  Totally OK to attack the message, not cool to attack the user.
Ffs, I wanna support Gaza, but Hamas firing a bunch of missiles into civilian populations is a war crime.
To be fair, I’d be pretty motivated to do the same if genocide—also a war crime—was happening to my people. This is all such a messed up situation.
- Hamas is not Gaza, you don't need to condone the former to support the latter. Nothing they do makes the genocide right.
  
  Correct.
- Honestly, 15 rockets is nothing. Usually they're firing hundreds of them. Their stock must be running low for some reason...
- I’d be pretty motivated to do the same
  A friendly reminder that, whatever the reason, launching rockets into Israeli cities to essentially kill civilians is terrorism and a war crime, and rape Jihad (which is prolonged by these terrorist attacks) is neither an act of resistance nor "leverage" that Hamas "shouldn't let go of" (as many here defended).
  
  You write that like there weren't the same kind of bigots racist on the other side. Israel is not better.
  
  As I said, it’s a war crime. So is rape.
  What’s really disappointing is how Israeli citizens have been blocking medical aid vehicles into Gaza
