    A minority of Palestinians elected them many years ago - and then they by force took over Gaza.

    So I want to something like 44% of Palestinians, voting for the first time, like 20 years ago supported Hamas…who then overthrew the government.

    It isn’t like 75-80% of Gazans supported Hamas recently.

    It's amazing that Hamas was even able to launch an attack like October 7th, what with all the strident opposition they faced from the citizenry of Gaza. It's too bad the millions of people completely surrounding the few thousand Hamas fighters just couldn't manage to arrest them, or disarm them, or turn them over to Israel, or mark where they were hiding, or cut off their supply lines, or any of the other actions I am certain they were attempting in their opposition to Hamas. Bad luck, I guess.

    Bibi just took up Trump's suggestion and said the ceasefire would end if hostages aren't released by Saturday. Honestly, I don't see what Hamas gets out of the ceasefire except delaying immediate death. Netanyahu's rightwing allies want him to restart the war as soon as this deal is over. Trump and Netanyahu have announced their intention to clear out all Palestinians from Gaza forever. All they're being presented with is whether they want to die on their feet or on their knees.

    Hamas has punched their own ticket. What they get out of cooperation is a benefit to the alleged non-Hamas people in Gaza. They can keep fighting forever and keep getting those people killed, or they can all surrender, hope for whatever mercy Israel elects to show them, and allow the remaining people of Gaza to be spared death, even if they are forced to leave. It depends, I suppose, on how important the people of Gaza are to them. From every indication since they became an entity, it would appear not very important.

    There's almost 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza. You're disgusting sincerely

    I guarantee you he'd express more humanity if we were all physically in a room together. Not because of fear of some physical confrontation but rather these type of people can't express awkward edgelord takes without feeling shame when it's amongst physical people around you. This is his outlet to be an edgelord because he's kinda of a b**** to do it outside of anonymity

    Got it. Gazans deserve genocide because of Hamas.

    The way these people causally talk about killing 1.8 million people is INSANE. They pretend they don't even exist. Vile individuals

    Less flippantly, what do you think should happen? Assume all the Hamas dudes are wiped out and you have just the "innocent" Gazans left. Would you let them remain in Gaza, if it was up to you?

    I’ve never seen people advocate for open genocide like this, but it’s nice to see where they stand before the “they’re all humus #s, nobody is dying” —-to actually them not caring if everyone is wiped off

    I wonder if they hold themselves as accountable for the hundreds of thousand that died in Iraq.

    when can those Iraqis extract vengeance.@StupidMoniker

    These idiots can’t even keep their logic straight. let’s just be clear, there are just some really really bad people in this thread . There’s no sugar coating it.

    The braindead Muslim who claimed Trump would rescue gaza and stand up to bibi are now claiming they're both the same lol. I sincerely pray on the day of judgement muslims like yourself suffer every bit.

    Joe biden nor kamala harris would've been sending us soliders to gaza to occupy it. Muslims like yourself who rehabilitated trump deserve every bad thing that happens to them.

    They expect clear retribution, so I wonder —since apparently a minority or states actions should hold the whole populace responsible…what kind of punishment do the Iraqis have the right to exert on all of us for a war that ****ed their country and killed hundreds of thousands?

    they won’t ever answer this **** because they clearly like to dehumanize only a subset of people

    It might also be argued that as a democratic country, with vast resources available to the population, we are more responsible for our governments’ actions.

    So if Biden had attacked a foreign country than that would mean that you were also responsible and deserve to die because Joe Biden was elected as your president??

    The genocide rationalization from you MAGA nuts is really something.
