- selcuka 2y agoIt's interesting that we don't count Israel as a religious lunatic state.
- shepherdjerred 2y agoIsrael's stated goal is not to kill unlike Hamas
- defrost 2y agoBest to watch what people do rather than what they say. Which one consistantly has the greater body count, which one has been steadily illegally encroaching on territory, etc.
- selcuka 2y agoSure, not their "stated goal", but remember that Hamas is a reactive organisation. There would be no Hamas without Israel. I don't think there is a solution other than diplomacy as long as there are people who gain material benefit from war. Even nuking all Palestinians would not finish Hamas or its derivatives.

- throw310822 2y agoHamas' stated goal is not "to kill"- remember that everything you know about Hamas you know from Israel's perspective and according to Israel's interests. Hamas' stated goal is "to free Palestine"- it means gaining its political control, not murdering people.
- randomcarbloke 2y agoit's a liberal democracy that welcomes even gazans as citizens rather than a genocidal theocratic ethnostate like all its neighbours.
- lr0 2y agoAlmost all regimes in the Middle East (and even other Arab regimes) are having a very well relationship with Israel, even those who do not publicly do normalization of relations. Historically Israel (as well as the US.) supported these regimes to ensure its interest. Not many books written about that so far, but I recommend people to check William Blum's "Killing Hope", it studies a very similar case of supporting dictatorships by Israel's key sponsor (the United States).
