    First of all, Hamas is a terrorist organization and I fully support Israel in removing it. It definitely is not a resistance group.

    However, Israel has to change the way they approach the problem. Especially limiting shenanigans like this one and using stupid bombs.

      Dang, so the IDF gets your blessing even though they’re killing 10x as many civilians as a terrorist organization?

      Even though they’re killing more civilians than Russia?

        Based on your comment, can I ask what would be your solution the whole Palestine-Israel conflict?

          Trials in the Hague followed by imprisonment of all those guilty of war crimes. At this point that Includes most IDF members, their leaders, and the government.

          Actually bring consequences to bear and let other Israelis know that this isn’t acceptable. Israel also needs to be cut off from the teat of the American military industrial complex.

          Same standards for Hamas, but that’s a much smaller number.

          Any further sabre rattling is met with quick and strong sanctions.

          Basically the UN needs to do it’s job, but that needs America not to veto.

        The constant attacks against Israel and it’s increasing isolation only probs Zionists right. Jews can only trust themselves for their own defense and need a state for that (that’s what Zionism is). People like you feed Zionism everyday.

          You’re conflating Jews with an extremist ideology that can only seem to exist through apartheid.

      Was Native American raids on “Settlements” terrorism? Was Nat Turner’s rebellion terrorism?

      Hamas is evil and the acts they have done are evil. But they weren’t created in a vacuum. Peace and a one or two state solution needs to be agreed apone by all with a right to self determination for the cycle of evil to stop.

        It’s time to put in a UN peacekeeping force and a transitional government for a single state solution. Israel has beyond lost it’s moral high ground and should be treated like any other colonial remnant in the post colonial world.

      Ones terrorist group is another’s resistance heroes. Which is which very much depends on the side you’re sitting at.

      Hamas is indeed a terror group and should be removed but it’s hard not to see your bias. In sheer numbers, the IDF has killed multiples of what Hamas killed, in cruelty they’re really the same, and Hamas has the “excuse” of 70 years or so of oppression, murder, theft, etc by the Israeli side, the IDF doesn’t have that excuse.

      The IDF is a terrorist organisation too and the only difference is that the IDF is state sanctioned and managed, whereas Hamas is not.

      You, however, call what is starting to look like a genocide “shenanigans” that should be better managed whereas you outright call Hamas a terrorist group. Bias much?

      You can’t kill a terrorist group. The US spent the last 20 years proving that. You can only defend yourself and reform people/institutions to invalidate the ideology.
