The position I took was that I am against terrorism.
I don't know why you're bringing Hitler into the conversation as it bears no relevance on recent events.
You believe Hamas started the trouble, others believe it was in response to Israeli aggression at the Al Aqsa mosque.
I wasn't there so I can only go on what's reported.
Personally I don't think either side is innocent but attacking a holy site is a red line and the Israelis knew it would spark a response.
I also do not condone the response from Hamas just as I didn't condone the IRA targeting civilians but I can understand their anger.
My "freedom fighter" comment was meant as a generic term and actually was in response to your comment about the IRA.
Read my comments without your obvious bias and you'll see I'm not making excuses for the actions of Hamas. I said I understand their anger.
I do not condone their actions of targeting civilians.
I served in the British army during the troubles in N. Ireland so don't lecture me on what an appropriate response is to kids throwing rocks.
As the force of superior strength, I would expect the Israeli forces to expect such actions and be equipped to handle it, whilst showing restraint and a proportionate response.

Bullshit.
You called Hamas "freedom fighters".
You excuse their actions by claiming they are fighting for "freedom".
But the only "freedom" they are interested in is the destruction of Israel.
Palestinians can't throw rocks at police and not expect a response.
This is not America dealing with BLM.

We're they fucking "kids" throwing rocks?
No.
Once again your bullshit shows through.
but they were still rocks right?
and the security forces still beat the crap out of teenagers?
but you want to sit on the moral high ground?
Call it "bullshit" if you want but I have higher moral values than beating on someone weaker than me.
well it obviously hasn't worked out well so far has it?
