    Israel funded Hamas and their policies basically created them. They’re an easier target for westernes than the secular PLO. Maybe the solution is ending apartheid and the illegal occupation? Maybe, and I know this is really crazy but, bombing the shit out of a group of people isn’t going to lead to less retaliation?

      The PLO wanted to remove Israel from existence for most of the time it was in power, it’s not like they were saints either.

      And maybe Hamas will agree to a ceasfire, stop fighting, give up power, and agree to end the apartheid system? Hmm, no they would not.

        Hamas has asked for a ceasefire many times. Also why would they not agree to end the apartheid system? The only reason I could think of would be so they could garner more hate towards Israel. Hmm, but doesn’t that mean that it would be in Israel interest to end it to weaken Hamas?

          So that they can regroup and attack again. They’ve said this on record.

          Because power. They have control and things are the way they like it.

            So why not just end apartheid if hamas benifits from it. Or are you just being vague on purpose?

            You do realize you’re just creating a situation where whatever Israel does is always justyfied? They help create a terrorist group, create an open air prison where the people who live there can’t leave and then bomb their schools, hospitals, refugee camps etc. Always with the excuse that Hamas might be there. So what’s the excuse for murdering Shireen Abu Akleh in cold blood? Or for the settler colonialism in the west bank? What is about colonialism you don’t understand that leads to more and more violence?

              Let me get my magic wand and end apartheid. Yes, there, it’s done.

              I do not realize I am creating a situation that Israel is justified. You filled in that information. All I said is Hamas uses human shield, what is the solution?

                    Do you normaly just insult people when you loose arguments? I guess it makes sense when you have nothing to contribute
