    Hamas stood for election on a moderate platform. But Israel immediately declared war on them. Hamas reduced their demands for peace to an end of the occupation and an actual Palestinian state. Israel scoffed and bombed hospitals because the doctors were political members of Hamas.

    They also attempted to take part in the Trump administration negotiations and got locked out. They then waited for Biden, and got nothing.

    How long does one keep writing letters before they pick up a musket?

          My favorite part is when there have been ceasefires or other attempts at peace, where Hamas says nah and just keeps attacking anyway

            Same thing with Israel. They will have settlers and soldiers attacking while “at peace” or during negotiations.

          Also, firing rockets at densely populated civilian centers is “defending yourself” LMAO
