People are again rationalizing #hamas into some kind of humanitarian organization, using #Israel's bombing campaign as an excuse to promote lies and propaganda that solidify the pretense that Hamas are the good guys.

They are not.

Hamas kills #Palestinians.

Hamas oppresses #gaza

Hamas started this war.

Hamas continues to hold hostages that it could have released every day since October 7.

And, yes, Hamas DOES operate from hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. There are no aboveground Hamas bases.

There are many pictures and videos of Hamas fighters shooting at the #IDF from hospitals and schools.

Regardless of how you feel about the way Israel is conducting the war, that doesn't make Hamas a patriotic organization that represents the interests of the Palestinian people.

Hamas exists for only 1 reason: To destroy Israel and #Jews everywhere, all over the world.

Hamas doesn't care about the suffering of the Palestinian people.

Hamas doesn't want peace or a ceasefire or co-existence.

There are 1 million Israeli citizens who are Palestinians. If you ask any of them if they want to be governed by Hamas they will look at you like you are insane.

And you know what? You ARE insane to be praising Hamas, repeating their lies and propaganda, and pretending that they represent the interests of the Palestinians of Gaza.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. They have done nothing right, nothing good, and nothing worth praising.

Hamas has committed horrific war crimes. Hamas has committed crimes against humanity - all against the Palestinian people.

Netanyahu's conduct is reprehensible but the fact he is a monster doesn't make Hamas any less monstrous.

If you say nothing about Hamas while condemning the bombing campaign then you are supporting #terrorism and #genocide

Silence is complicity.

TITLE: The brain learns to filter out distracting stimuli over time

The human brain can learn through experience to filter out disturbing and distracting stimuli -- such as a glaring roadside billboard or a flashing banner on the internet. Scientists have used electroencephalography (EEG) to show that early visual processing in humans changes with repeated exposure.
