    You do realize Hamas is responsible for their own actions? It doesn’t matter what Israel did, Israel can have peace with Palestinians at least in principle. With Hamas, there can be no peace. Quit justifying terrorism as being caused by actions outside their control. It is completely in their control how they respond and they chose to respond with terrorism. What happens now is justified self-defense.

      You do realize Israel is responsible for its own actions as well, right? They have a Zionist leader who wants nothing more than genocide. They use terrorism to enforce their rule. They are at fault for it as much as Hamas is. Get rid of the Zionists.

        So what you are saying is that everything apparently boils down to two sides wanting nothing more than genocide, as Hamas’ goal since their founding has been the elimination of Israel and the Jews from the middle east. Under that reduction, we just need to choose whether we support a flawed but still functional democracy or another conservative theocracy under Iran in the region. Third option being to pull all support for both sides and just let them destroy each other with a statistically significant possibility of nuclear exchange in the end.

        I also would like to know of any other country on earth that would allow a neighboring country to continually launch rockets at it for decades and take no retaliatory action whatsoever, like Israel is somehow an outlier. Is there honestly a realistic expectation that this time would be different if Palestine was given the full Two State system under the original borders? 5th or 6th times the charm on that one? Maybe this time there wouldn’t be another full scale war from all surrounding neighbors, but does anyone actually expect Iran to stop funding or conducting terror attacks on Israel through Palestine, Syria, or Lebanon?

          The people don’t necessarily. The Zionists and Hamas both want genocide, yes.

          There isn’t one, but there also isn’t a country that would allow another country to occupy its internationally recognized lands, kills its citizens for no reason, displace it’s people to make room for the other nation to colonize it, and build walls to keep them from moving freely.

          Hamas is not innocent, but Israel sure as hell isn’t either. They’re both terrorist organizations, but one has a lot more international support for basically no reason.
