Hamas’ military wing – the Qassam Brigades – and at least four other Palestinian armed groups committed numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity against civilians during the October 7, 2023 assault on southern Israel. Governments with influence over the armed groups should press for the release of civilian hostages, an ongoing war crime, and for those responsible to be brought to justice.

    It’s not justification, it’s a reason?

    Justification:

    the action of showing something to be right or reasonable.

    Reason:

    a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event.

    Reasonable

    based on good sense.

    I won’t be responding to you anymore.

    Edit: I’d like to document here (for myself mostly) how simply posting an article critical of Hamas’ actions is considered by members of this community as justifying violence.

    Also because I think it’s funny considering the discussion chosen in the comments, FTA:

    “Atrocities do not justify atrocities,” Sawyer said. “To stop the endless cycle of abuses in Israel and Palestine, it’s critical to address root causes and hold violators of grave crimes to account. That’s in the interests of both Palestinians and Israelis."

    In other words, how I know the other two didn’t read the article without saying they didn’t read the article :)
