      They’re just trying to survive. We’ve already made it impossible for them to enjoy life

      Yet we’re not seeing calls for Hamas to step down and let innocent Palestinians live in some version of peace that can never be known under Islamic jihad…

      Which I find very weird. The lack of conversation surrounding the admitted goals of the leaders of the Palestinian people is something that needs to be part of any conversation.

        Because they’re not going to do that. You can’t call them terrorists and expect logical reasonable action or reaction.

        The Palestinian people by in large did not vote Hamas in, over 50% of the people in Gaza were not alive during the last election.

          Hamas is a jihadist organization though…

          If they don’t represent the majority maybe they should hold elections and let a party that represents the majority take the lead?

            Sure, and Israel is a Zionist nation what’s your point.

            Yes the terrorist organization is going to relinquish control… Yeah.

          I don’t see why this matters at all when Hamas wont allow elections and is an authoritarian government.

        It’s a false dichotomy to condition ceasing the extermination of a whole innocent population to protests towards a terrorist organization. Israel does not need to bomb several hospitals to stop Hamas. There are other ways to go about stopping terrorists.

        Maybe you don’t see many calls at Hamas because people are catching up with how wholesale persecution and extermination of people is often justified by pointing to a few malicious individuals that are part of that population.

            Do you have anything but dismissive snark or are you going to pretend continuous bombing of civilian buildings is some sort of surgical targeted action.

              There’s a pretty big difference between stupid declarations about things that simply aren’t true, and trying to start a conversation. I just assumed with an axiom like that there was no conversation to be had.

                Clearly there’s no conversation to be had, but because you want to pretend whatever you don’t like to hear is false and stupid, without even trying to offer any reason for it.
