Hamas’s actions are unforgiveable, but and a huge BUT. “Mostly untouched borders” - doesnt mean much when fences mean nothing to the israeli government nor settlers being recorded stoning people and forcing them out of mutli-generational homes on a weekly basis for decades. A lot of sympathy and good will for israel was lost with how they ignore the crimes of zionists and punnish and starve common people who made a decent living working agriculture. A lot of common ground is found with the oppressed fighting to reclaim or protect what is theirs. Israel has been destroying families and breeding terrorists to justify their position.
I certainly think the West Bank situation is actually genocidal or close-to-it. There’s a lot there that honestly makes me uncomfortable. “Technically illegal” but if the Israeli police are ignoring the breakage of the laws here, then its not really illegal, is it?
The issue is that this meme is talking about Gaza. The West Bank issue is a totally different area of the country, and the people of Gaza barely even connect with the people of the West Bank anymore. Remember that the West Bank follows the Palestinian National Authority and/or Palestine Liberation Organization, while Gaza follows Hamas. So trying to tie the West Bank issues to the plight of the Gaza civilians is a major stretch.
