York University is condemning a statement issued by three student associations which appears to glorify the terror attack perpetrated against Israeli civilians last week.
They’re not wrong, they’re just assholes in the way they said it.
I certainly don’t condone the actions of Hamas, but at the same time I know it’s wrong to beat and abuse a dog for years and then label it as ‘aggressive’ and demand it be put down when it rips your hand off. The situation in the middle east is definitely not as black and white as the media likes to portray it.
If you only look at it as “the ends justify the means” and ignore the slaughter of hundreds of families, sure.
What happened to Palestine over the last 80 years isn’t just or fair, but what happened last week sure as shit was not okay or reasonable. It’s not something to be encouraged or cheered on or supported, and it’s not something that they should call for here or anywhere else to make up for past injustices.
What Israel is doing now should be stopped (blocking food and water and medical supplies, forcing a million people out of their homes under an unrealistic timeline, and the bombing the designated exit route), but that can all be said, even discussing the plight of Palestinians, without praising fucking Hamas and calling them brave.

That’s what happens when an elastic band snaps though. We’ve seen it time and time again, office workers, school shooters, abused dogs, the hydraulic press YouTube channel. Over and over and over the pattern is the same.
And every single fucking time, the response is always the same. “He just snapped, I have no idea why!” So no, I’m not surprised, or outraged. The world had 75 years to address the situation in Gaza and they chose to just ignore it.

Murdering 40 babies is not “a strong act of resistance”. They are assholes AND wrong.
