Far less than half the people in Germany voted for the Nazis in 1933. By 1945, that election was 12 years old. So I guess we could also say that the people of Germany 1945 didn’t vote for National Socialism. Does that mean we should not have continued the war until victory?Far less than half the people in Gaza voted for hamas. The election was 18 years ago, the median age there is 18, and hamas didn't get a big majority of the votes. So it's not correct to say that the people of Gaza 2024 voted for hamas. That's about the 37th time this has been mentioned here.
Of course they are human.The ones who support Hamas, which is the vast majority, aren't.
It means we shouldn't have slaughtered their civilians regardless of how they voted and the 'Gazans voted for Hamas so they deserve what they get' line is BS.Far less than half the people in Germany voted for the Nazis in 1933.

As ole Barry Obama famously said “Elections have consequences”.
Calm down.Of course they are human.
Saying people you don’t agree with are “sub-human” or “not human” is @Hunerwadel , @turbovol , Goebbels level stuff man.
You should delete that. It’s atrocious.
Fair enough. It will not surprise you I am sure that I would go back further but I will stick with the 1920’s for now.Let's go with the 1920's.
That relative peace they always talk about never existed. It was fine when the Arabs persecuted Jews indiscriminately. But when the shoe was on the other foot and Jews could no longer be subjugated….now it’s a problem.Fair enough. It will not surprise you I am sure that I would go back further but I will stick with the 1920’s for now.
I would agree that if you start in the 20’s it would feel like the Arab population of the levant would indeed have a reason to feel somewhat aggrieved. Personal history is what it is and the only life they had ever known would have been being turned upside down.
Of course I would turn back the clock to just a few years earlier because of WWI in which Centuries of Ottoman rule abruptly ceased and the British were left to redraw the map of the Middle East. And of course the Brits were know for clumsiness and imprecision in that sort of thing. That to me is where the “modern” problems all started.
Will continue later today…..
No, it means that we should not have killed innocent civilians in Dresden, Hamburg and the millions more Germans after the war.Far less than half the people in Germany voted for the Nazis in 1933.
