      You pro-genocide, Israeli apologists wankers are the worst.

      “Booo hooo, the poor Israelis systematically displaced and subjugated an entire population and that population is fighting back? What nerve, the Palestinians should all die quietly so “settlers” can move into their homes.”

      You’re really just the worst people. I’d say you’re less than people but that’d make me just like the Israeli government.

      Ah yes, the two options, genocide or be genocided.

      Benji wants Hamas to exist so he can tighten his control over Israel. He knows perfectly well the way towards eliminating Hamas is by removing the motivation to join a terrorist group. He knows perfectly well forcing Palestine to be a shit hole and killing Palestinians with little regard for who is and is not actually Hamas will only encourage people to join and oppose the IDF. Israel needs an enemy for Benjamin to justify his hard right authoritarian policy at home, and he knows perfectly well how to keep them around.

      You mean like living under an occupation in an apartheid state?

      Hamas began twenty years into an Occupation enforced with direct and systemic violence, with the goal of ending the occupation.

      Collective punishment has been a deliberate Israeli tactic for decades with the Dahiya doctrine. Violence such as suicide bombings and rockets escalated in response to Israeli enforcement of the occupation and apartheid.
