But you know who else I blame when innocent civilians are killed in these types of scenarios? The innocent civilians themselves. Let me clarify that point.
And I’m being 100% serious when I say this……. If you’re willingly lying in bed with the devil, don’t complain when you get thrown into hell with him. Now, I get there are those who want nothing to do with Hamas. But for those that are harboring them? You reap what you sow.
Some may say that’s a bad take, but I believe the real term is guilty by association.
I can't agree with this when you are effectively ruled by an autocratic regime that will kill you if you dissent. Yes, Hamas was voted in, but that occurred in 2006. So there has been no subsequent opportunity to peacefully transfer power to another entity. While I certainly don't think Hamas is wildly unpopular in Gaza, they probably don't have near the level of support most people would think they do. Even if they did, I can't blame children for the actions of their parents.
