Except they dont do it to other "kafirs", only Israelis, their oppressors. Pretty silly to use ISIS as your template for all Islamic peoples behaviors. Hamas is not ISIS, although they are Islamist, their main motivating drive in the conflict is the liberation of their lands. They do employ terrorist actions (like many other terrorist movements regardless of religion), but its not out of religious ideology, its to free themselves from the heavy hand of a brutal occupying oppressor. Is it justified? Nope, no violence is justified in my view regardless of who commits it.
The Zionists (Irgun) employed very similar actions in 1948 massacring Palestinian men, women and children (Deir Yassin) in their ethnic cleansing drive. Their leader Menachem Begin became the PM of Israel decades later. And pretty sure I can fish out all sorts of Torah based texts permitting the killing of Goyim (non-Jewish 'kafirs') to make the same sort of stereotypical arguments you seem to thrive on, but nope, its just stupid.
WTF, bigoted much?BTW the muslims aren't exactly our friends:
WTF, bigoted much?
You can absolutely say that about Hamas, but don't generalize the entire religion.

When someone tells you who they are believe em, or you're just like people who don't think Trump is all bad!
Joshua Shanes, a professor of Jewish Studies at the College of Charleston, explained that the biblical animosity toward the Amalekites stems from what is described as the merciless ambush they launched against vulnerable Israelites making their way to the promised land. The attack leads God to tell Moses to wipe out Amalek. Hundreds of years later, Saul nearly fulfills the command by killing all Amalekite men, women, and children. But he spares their king, who keeps his people barely alive by having a child. Many more generations later, one of his descendants, the villain Haman, goes on to develop a plot to kill all the Jews living in exile under a Persian ruler. The lesson, when read literally, is clear: Saul’s failure to kill every Amalekite posed an existential threat to the Jewish people.

FUCK YEAH I GENERALIZE THE ENTIRE RELIGION!
Show me any true blooded muslim who does 5 prayers a day say anything good about the LGBT community or protecting us.
They want us all exterminated so yeah they can go to hell for all I'm concerned.
PROUD TO NOT TRUST THOSE WHO WANT TO KILL ME!
Media ignores Muslim killing of gay man because it doesn’t fit narrative
While the killing of gay man O’Shae Sibley has widely been reported as a “hate crime,” it is the wrong sort of “hate crime.” One that doesn’t fit the dominant, enforced narrative of our time.…nypost.com
Don't agree with right wing media at all but even a broken clock is right twice a day!
Yes there were other nationalities killed, but in the heat of battle I doubt Hamas were checking identities of who is who or what. Look for a pattern in past terror attacks and not latch onto isolated occurrences. Virtually all their targets were Israelis.Umm... you do know they killed other nationalities too right. And it's not just jews.. that were killed.
My wife has been showing me all sorts of videos showing where Thai's who were workers in Israel were massacred!
By ISIS or what little remains of it today, sure. By Hamas? Link your sources to that specific assertion. You are basically saying or implying that Israels occupation, dispossession and murdering of 1000s of Pal men, women and children over decades has nothing to do with Hamas actions but rather solely driven into killing anyone who is not muslim.And there are tons of other religions and nationalaties killed in the name of destroying kafirs!
ah the classicsRead the Quran yourself and then see how much of it was lost in translation!

As your sig states... Never underestimate the stupid part of the population. They outnumber the smart ones.
Yes, I am reminded of that whenever I see your posts.
Funny.. unlike you keyboard warriors, I actually get out.
Philippines..
Bali..
Thailand..
China..
Burma..
India..
US..
France..
Belgium..
Norway..
What do these countries have in common? They're not Israel but were attacked by Muslims in order to eliminate kafirs.
Now I may not be smart like you and have a degree in religious tolerance but I have common sense even if you don't!
Anyways to respond to @Indusah the classics

Yes it is a shit state of affairs
Anyways to respond to @Indus
I have no doubt that some subset of Palestinians have unenlightened views about LGBT people. I have no doubt that a subset of every nation or ethnicity have unkind views about LGBT people, but that doesn't justify colonialism or the slow genocide that Israel's government is doing to Palestinians.
It's not at all helpful to anyone in combating homophobia by bad faith weaponizing of human rights discourse to advance the agenda of empire.
Isn't that tactic called 'pinkwashing'?
What does that even _mean_? You "get out"? Get out of what?
Generally I find anyone who resorts to invoking 'common sense' is admitting they have no rational argument to offer.
Anyway
How Many Countries has the US Invaded as of 2024?
worldpopulationreview.com
Britain Has Invaded All but 22 Countries
Of the current 200 nations in the world, the British have invaded all but 22 of them. The lucky 22 include Sweden, Luxembourg, Mkottke.org
And how often have you heard me singing praises of Britain to justify continuing your extremely rational argument?
No.Can we just go ahead and say all abrahamic religions and every derivative of them is shit, cancel the whole lot, and go back to arguing and killing each other for rings or fish or shiny rocks or whatever we argued and killed each other for before they came around?
Well, atheism isn't a religion... That's like saying 'people who believe in UFOs have problems, people who don't believe in UFOs have problems... same thing'.No.
It is just like anything else, take the good toss the bad.
Do you really feel -insert X religion here- does not have its own problems? It is not like atheism doesn't have its own problems. Once again, take the good, toss the bad.
Since we seem to live in a probabilistic universe, that probabilistic function is open to interpretation.

Sorry, are you claiming that atheism is something one has faith in? Or that there's insufficient evidence regarding? You can't prove a negative.Atheism isn't a religion. But religion is not the only thing people believe in with insufficient evidence, because they get some benefit (often psychological) from being a believer. Probably humans can't function without some form of 'faith'.
Atheism is simply a lack of belief in a god or gods, anything beyond that is something else.No.

I’m game, let’s list the problems with atheism!No.

I misunderstood your intent. Lots of people feel atheism is basically just as much a belief structure as an actual religion. At any rate, I'd question the reasoning behind anyone who actually gets something out of faith. I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong but my initial reaction is something psychological that should be dealt with instead.Huh? I just said "atheism isn't a religion". Did you misread it?
There _are_, however, a lot of things people believe on faith, other than religion.
