    Seems to not be a problem when it’s the Jews being targeted for genocide. Hamas is literally founded on the idea of killing all Jews and Hamas is supported internationally with billions in aid dollars.

    Weird how that works.

    Anywhoo, Israel is going to protect itself by removing the threat. They’ve opened corridors for civilians to get to safety, you know who’s telling people to stay? Hamas WANTS civilians to stay and be human shields. Their leaders are living fat in Qatar sending kids to die and the world is trying to frame them as anything other than the terrorists they are. I’m grateful Israel is more concerned with the safety of their people than they are public perception right now.

      Yes, and you should look into the link between Israel and Hamas. They needed an existential enemy to blame shit on so they made one.

      No it’s not at all.

      And bombed those corridors. Yes, terrorists acting like terrorists, how curious, now tell me why that negates Israels obligation to not commit genocide in anger.

      You seen to think I’m for either, if I’m being honest I think the only solution realistically is to evacuate everyone from the Levant and bomb it to rubble and quarantine it so they have nothing to fight over. In love history and partially architecture but, you want an effective solution that’s your answer. It won’t stop either side from being terrorists but it won’t happen is Israel anymore.

        I’m familiar with the origin story, Hamas started as an aide group before turning terrorist. Israel has used them to their advantage, much like the US used Iraq and Afghanistan to theirs in the past.

        That doesn’t eliminate the requirement of Hamas being destroyed.

        If you want to claim Israel created them, then it’s up to Israel to destroy them and they’re working on that now.

          Good, then why play dumb?

          You can’t destroy a existential threat, even if you destroyed one group it would spawn another.

          They simply can’t bud.

      It’s not so simple. Israel have acted in bad faith and abandoned promises before as well so Hamas and those in Gaza felt they were pushed.

      The problem now has been that generations of trauma and conflict placed both Israel and Palestine to support hardliners in their own. After all, Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is filled with ultranationalists who don’t want to compromise. Conversely, the last election of Palestine elected for Hamas, an extremist group in Gaza (the West Bank elected for the moderate PLO but they are effectively muzzled by Netanyahu).
