I'd like to straighten something out... The UN’s own investigations after the 2014 Gaza war confirmed that weapons were stored in UN schools and that those facilities were likely used by militants. That’s wasn't “propaganda” - it was proven and documented. So when people talk about Hamas operating in civilian areas, it’s not some fringe claim. It’s a pattern: - Rockets launched from residential neighbourhoods - Weapons hidden in schools - Fighting embedded in densely populated zones Hamas using civilians as shields - whether people like the wording or not. If we try and flip the situation for a second - If Israel stored missiles in its own schools or fired rockets from hospitals, the global reaction would be instant and absolute outrage. There would be nonstop headlines, sanctions, protests - no nuance, no “context”, no excuses. But when it’s Hamas, for 'some' people suddenly everything becomes complicated, justified, or ignored. You can criticise Israel all day long - and many do - but if you can’t also acknowledge this reality about Hamas, then it’s not about human rights anymore. It’s about selective outrage.
