    Oh fuck off, Israel and their global backers are continuing their century-long campaign to take Palestine and remove/kill Palestinians. Hamas is just a recent development which happens to neatly justify this period of Israeli colonial violence.

    After Hamas runs its course (however that ends up happening), then do you think Israel will back off? Of course not and the idea is preposterous.

      Israel was founded in 1948. How was Israel backing a campaign to kill Palestinians for twenty four years prior to its existence? Also, if Israel’s goal is to kill all Palestinians, why are daily death tolls going down and why are there any buildings still standing in Gaza and the West Bank?

        If you’re going to correct people you should probably get the details right.

        Settlement started long before the founding of Israel, afterall there must be citizens to start a country.

        It really got going in 1917 when, after WW1 and the carving up of the Ottoman empire, Britain was like “fuck me but that looks like a good place to shove Jewish people innit?”.

        Others have mentioned the history info you lack here so I won’t tackle that. I have another question:

        Do you recall any other significant events at 1948 though?

        You don’t know what you’re talking about or why Hamas exists. Ehud Barak is more capable of empathizing than you, when he was asked what would you do if he were a Palestinian he said he’d fight.

            I am actually Palestinian. I hope for Israel to end its genocide.

              Same for Hamas. Only one side in this conflict can end this conflict and its not Israel, unfortunately.

                    Hamas does not exist in the West Bank, are the Palestinians treated fairly there? Do they still have the same land today as they did 10, 20, 30 years ago?

                High or dumb?

                Hamas hasn’t effectively hit Israel since the festival, Israel has killed like 6 people for every one.

                How exactly do you see Hamas ending anything?

            I know guys like you live for the comments people make when they’re upset by how much of a giant price of shit you’re being, but I’ll go for the bait.

            You’re genuinely an empathyless, morally bankrupt pycho. I hope you have no loved ones.
