Nothing makes genocide okay, full stop.
We know Hamas sucks, the problem is that 70% of Israel's victims are women and children, not hamas.
The problem is that Israel funded Hamas and encourages them.
The problem is that Israel is an apartheid state that fosters terror groups to keep control.
But what really makes this a hypocritical farce is the fact that Israel not only tortures it's prisoners as well, but rapes them too.
"Israel funded Hamas" is one of the most wrong-headed lies that is frequently repeated here.
If you actually look into the specific accusations of what Israel did to "fund Hamas," there are things that, before October 7th, humanitarians were calling on Israel to do.
What did they do? They allowed funds raised for Gaza outside of the region to enter the strip where they could be put to use by the ruling party of Gaza (Hamas). They allowed humanitarian shipments containing things like pipes into Gaza, where Hamas weaponized them into missile casings. The issued work visas for more Gazans to enter Israel and earn a living, which Hamas used for reconnaissance. They forcibly shut down all Israeli settlements in Gaza, and withdrew any Israeli troops. Hamas took advantage of the power vacuum.
When challenged on these backwards claims, pro Hamas reply guys will pull out a single 20-year old quote from someone without any policymaking authority. Or they'll claim that the method used for the Gaza fundraising money to enter Gaza somehow proves the point.
Official Israeli policy was to prop up Hamas as opposed to the Palestinian Authority to delegitimize the Palestinians in the international community. It's much easier to deny statehood to a population when they're being led by an organization that is labelled as terrorists. This isn't some 20 year old quote. But a long standing policy from the top officials in the Israeli government.
