"no one will bat an eye"
Where were all the batting eyes when the shoe was on the other foot?
you haven't been following this shitshow for long have you? Look up Israels illegal settlements, both sides in this are evil and don't give a shit about civilian lives.
The west bank has nothing to do with Gaza or Hamas
Fatah runs the west bank
what the...
those two regions are inhabited by the same people, from the (former) same country. Fatah runs the West Bank yes, that does not suddenly make the people there non-Palestinians. Hamas still uses the issues in the West Bank as ammunition in their propaganda against Israel because the Palestinians in Gaza, surprise, care about the Palestinians in the West Bank.
Imagine not even knowing what is happening in the place you claim so passionately to care about lol
hm, there's a name for illegally occupying territory of a foreign nation while claiming they can't claim that territory. Ah right, colonialism. The very act of building settlements in someone else's territory is an act of aggression, it's in no way peaceful.
No one was coming to their rescue anyway. Everyone else was already turning a blind eye to Israel's abuses.
