      Hamas isn’t Palestine. Hamas, and groups like it, have their stated, public goal being the complete destruction of Israel, and simply will not negotiate peace. At all. They consider it their religious duty to eradicate Jewish people for existing in the wrong place.

      Yes, of course Israel’s actions have made it worse, by giving Hamas oxygen and credibility, but it’s a mischaracterization to treat Hamas as just some random guy Israel kept locked up.

      There are no good guys in this conflict, and all involved - except for civilians on both sides - have been terrible to each other for a long time.

        Palestine at least has the excuse that they haven’t voted for a long time, Israel doesn’t.
