It's crazy how people seem to think they have to take sides in an argument. It's okay to say both sides are fucked up. There's plenty of videos showing Israeli kids talking about how they want to kill the Arabs, and there was that whole ass Disney/sesame street knock-off in Palistine that sang about AK-47s.

You got a line on that singalong?

I'll get you the song when I (re)find it, but for now here's the Wikipedia page.

For transparency, it appears they did eventually cancel the show, but I don't know if it had to do with the content or the use of a very clearly Mickey Mouse-based character.
Edit: here's the video. To correct myself, it seems to be a poem and not a song. I should also clarify I don't speak Arabic, so I am relying on the provided subtitles.

The line in question is near the 2:30 mark.

Listen fam I know we need to condemn the war crimes and violence of both sides. But a message we can rally behind was taught to me by The Kavernacle.
Hamas is, like the IRA, an extreme and desperate response to dehumanizing conditions laid out by Israel. Israel has put these people into worse than third world conditions. They use Hamas as a wedge to treat all Gazans worse. Israel has the power in this situation.

Decades of settler colonial genocide: "This is normal"
The colonized fight back one time: "Both sides are equally bad!!"

Hamas targeted military facilities and personnel, and civilians were caught in the crossfire when Israel fired at them.
Israel specifically targets civilians and massacres them. Even children. They burn them alive and torture them. Hamas is the last group left putting up a fight against this genocide. Hamas is not even a fraction of the concern that Israel is.

In what world are music festivals and kibbutzim a military facility?

The thing is you also have to admit the power imbalance at play here.
Both sides suck, but one side has the power to stop making the situation worse and stop abusing millions as they colonise their land.
This can never end or start to heal until the fucked up treatment of Palestinians stops. All they are doing is breeding tomorrow’s fighters.
Yup. The meme and simple “everyone is bad” explanation doesn’t touch on the fact that this is an asymmetrical war.
But one side lives in suburbs and the other in an open-air prison, without medical supplies, under permanent drone surveillance, oh and every 5 years all the buildings get flattened.
Well that perspective disagrees with both flavors of propaganda. It's fucking true but nobody with a horse in the race will agree with you ever.
Hamas does not really have a propaganda machine. Israel does.
slight difference here, while Hama's goal is singular, to kill as many civilians as possible, israels goal is to abolish the hostile militia on it's border, the civilians killed are a casualty of war, and not the target, once said militia uses civilians as human shields and commits all of these atrocities, you just can't submit to their shields.....
Because they aren't.
Israel is genociding Palestinians, and Hamas is resisting them.
If innocents are caught in the crossfire of Hamas resisting, then Israel is to blame, not Hamas. Israel targets civilians, Hamas was targeting the military.
