You’re a genocide supporter then. Hamas wants to genocide Israel. And you are supporting Hamas.
I don’t support Israel’s actions in Gaza.
I was just pointing out that by calling it an occupation, then an occupying force has the responsibility of providing safety and stability to the occupied lands. And Hamas, in that context, would be a barrier to that.
I think communication and general moral consensus matters. If people voiced their dislike and contempt for Hamas half as much as they do for Israel, it could have the effect of diminishing Hamas’ purpose for continuing this war.
But I think a lot of commenters actually support Hamas, and the violence it keeps doing. But they won’t actually admit that. So it makes it hard to understand.
In that context, Israel has an obligation to root out and destroy Hamas in Gaza.
BS. Netanyahu may have encouraged Hamas at some point , but they only continue because they want to hurt Israel and they don’t care about the starving children in Gaza any more than Israel does. Look on these message boards; many people refuse to put any blame on Hamas. Just me suggesting Hamas should surrender evokes responses only about how Isreal is responsible. It seems that the supporters of Gaza don’t want Hamas to surrender - they say they don’t like children starving, but seemingly not so much that they’d like Hamas to surrender. It’s really strange when you think about it.
Yes that would stop it too. But there’s not much likelihood of that. Whereas Hamas is clearly not having any success, and prolonging this war is only causing such terrible misery. And yes that’s because the Israelis don’t care about the misery of the people of Gaza, they only care about defeating Hamas. There’s a lot of evil. But if Hanas fully surrendered, this would stop immediately. And they have nothing to gain by keeping us going.
Yes they are funded by the same billionaires and will never go against that class. But they are not the same. The latest Republican Party is now so corrupt, anti constitutionalist and working against the people. They are not the same.
If only Hamas would just surrender.
Nothing wrong with the concept of communism. In practice it always leads to authoritarianism, fascism and the loss of personal freedoms. But look at the U.S. as it suffers late stage capitalism with a populist dictatorship growing - it’s exactly the same.
By your definition, there have never been any genocides. Jewish people still exist.
Tough on crime, yet let the biggest (orange) criminal walk free.
And the world will move on without the U.S. as the U.S. sabotages itself.
And the U.S. sidelines itself for no apparent reason …
And will you continue to do that for the next item? No. And if you can’t find a local supplier, you’ll stop doing that business. It hurts the economy. And this is what will happen in the U.S.
I think I was pretty clear that I don’t support Israel.
But your minimizing the atrocities of Hamas doesn’t help the situation. Israel has gone off the deep end, just like the U.S. is going. But to not recognize Hamas’ desire to wipe out the Jews in Israel shows a very poor understanding of the situation.
