    It’s not extreme to recognize that a US-backed apartheid state is running an extermination campaign against a marginalized group. While a small number of Palestinians are members of Hamas, that doesn’t give Israel the right to commit genocide. Not that they’ve needed “the right” to do so for the past 70 years.

      A small part of Germans were Nazis, but all of Germany had to be defeated to stop their terror. How would you have dealt with them?

      Hamas are far smaller, obviously, but able to commit just as fucked up atrocities. They actively use the innocent civilians as their meat shield. How to deal with them?

        Yes. The terrorists use the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza as an excuse to attack Israel.

        Now; If the government of Israel was to stop the horrible treatment of Palestinians by rightwing ‘settler’ provocateurs and its own soldiers, then Hamas (or any other terrorist organisations) would have very little excuse to use Gaza as a base.

          They wanted to destroy Israel ever since it exists. Attacking it on the first day after they declared independence. Not accepting any sort of deal, only wanting destruction.

          How to deal with people that want to destroy you, never settling for less? Despite getting defeated every time.
