    Hamas aren’t fighting for freedom and self-determination. Don’t try and reframe the efforts of an Islamist terror organization that wishes to murder all Jews and create a global caliphate.

      Well, for my side I don’t care if Hamas gets destroyed. I care about Palestinians individuals, not Hamas.

      But if they vote on Hamas for the job, it’s their choice (even though I think Hamas is also dubious)

        If it’s their choice, then the consequences of their actions also theirs. Palestinians have been remarkably awful at choosing their leaders. Every single one of them has abused and betrayed them.

        Both Palestinians and Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jews, have spent decades treating their women like baby farms in a population race to get the “moral high ground” to wipe out each other.

        It’s highly unfortunate for the resulting cattle individuals, and the people responsible for it should be particularly condemned… but it’s hard to care about intentionally raised cannon fodder (no, I’m not vegan).

          I’m getting a headache from this topic.

          I wish everyone makes it, not matter from which ethnicity or religion.

          Too bad people behave like crazy psychopaths.
