    When Israeli soldiers are bragging about raping and torturing people, it’s very clear what their intentions are

      Source?

      That’s troubling if true, and if it is, do you believe said soldiers speak for the entire Israeli government? Hamas’s atrocities are official policy.

          Thanks for the link.

          So one officer 7 years ago, who had the book thrown at him for his crimes by Israel. His actions are clearly opposed by his government and he was punished for his behavior. This isn’t the smoking gun @matcha_addict was implying it is.

          Do you think Hamas will punish its own rapists, murderers, and kidnappers?

            Hamas is not a state or government. It is a militia to fight occupation. It is nowhere near as organized as Israel with its governing body. You cannot equate the two.

            Israel does not oppose this. There are mountains of evidence of Israelis torturing and raping children, pregnant women and elderly Palestinians. There is mountains of evidence of Palestinians being burned alive, or forced to destroy their own homes with their bare hands. The magnitude of cruelty is unmatched.

            Do you want more evidence? I am happy to provide. But it seems you reject it even when presented evidence.

              Incorrect. Hamas was elected as the government of Gaza in 2006 and there hasn’t been another election held since.

              Yes, please do.

              But it seems you reject it even when presented evidence.

              What evidence was I presented with that I rejected? The one article I was given (by someone else) does not prove systemic atrocities like you implied. It was an example of one criminal who was punished by Israel for his crimes.
