    In this war the Israelis/IDF are the Nazis in control of Palestine from the outside, and Hamas are the Nazis in control inside Palestine. Palestinians are victims (not necessarily entirely innocent), but also not really given another option either. Palestinians are largely controlled by Hamas and everything is controlled by Israel, and both see Palestinians as pawns and human shields/targets.

    For the sake of discussion, I’ll ignore the fact that even if the Palestinian neighbours knew about the hostages and went to the IDF, they’d probably be tortured/killed just in case. So choosing not to alert the IDF isn’t necessarily support for Hamas, and could very well be an aversion to the IDF bombing and executing the shit out of your neighbours.

    The best way to survive is being invisible, and I wouldn’t blame someone for wanting to be invisible when the city they live in is a cage/prison that is being bombed to hell and both armies are very happy to kill Palestinians.

        Don’t forget unending Israeli oppression.

        Of the two parties, Israel is far and away the biggest threat, because that’s how the country was designed from the ground up.

        (Akin to how the US is still a slave state, because of how it’s run, and how it was built from the ground up)
