    For fucks sake, Hamas is not a “resistance faction” and pretty much nothing was happening until they decided to poke the bear. They’re a bunch of worthless shitstains who don’t give two shits about the welfare of Palestinians.

        What do you think Israel should’ve done after Hamas killed over a thousand people?

            That seems like a very unlikely response, doubt any country would accept anything right after an attack like that.

              And that’s why terrorist groups work versus modern states. They can count on disproportionate response. Hamas support was lower before Oct 7 but thanks to Israel liquidation of 20k people, now they have staunch support.

            Does that involve all Jewish people leaving Israel or are you talking about the two state solution which Israel has repeatedly tried to work towards and both the plo and now Hamas reject on principle?

              Hamas explicitly calls for a two state solution while Isreal explicitly rejects it.

              And no, Isreal has never once tried to work towards a two state solution, because that would mean unilaterally recognising Palestine as a sovereign state with all the rights afforded to a sovereign state under international law. At best it has offered suggested a bantustan, but for over a decade it hasn’t even done that.
