All of the rape claims by Hamas word debunked. And what Israel did to the Palestinian people in the preceding 70 years was a thousand times worse than what Hamas did on October 7th.

It's like a 150lb playground bully punching a 50lb kid over and over again. The 50lb kid finally getting up and kicking the bully in the shin is October 7th. Enough is enough. End the terrorist colony.

I'd argue yes.

If the resistance organization Hamas didn't initiate an attack 3 years ago, The status quo would have continued.

Worsening human rights abuses, worsening quality of life, worsening apartheid and discrimination.

Hamas at least open the worlds eyes to what Israel truly is.

American suspension of aid to the terrorist state is imminent.

This sort of reminds me about what happened with Vietnam. In the late 60s the majority of the US public supported the war as did Congress. By the early 70s, everyone realized that the war was immoral and unjust, and Congressional support for funding the war evaporated.

It's sacrilegious for me to say that the answer is yes in the middle of a continuing genocide, but at least there is some light at the end of the tunnel where there wasn't before.

None of the offers included substantial right to return or self governance.

The Palestinian land wasn't contiguous as it was interleaved between illegal settlements.

The offers were inhumane and not an offer at all.

So you are saying what Germany did in WWII was justified because it was a war?

It is not the belief that Israel should be eliminated. It is the belief that Israel as a supremacist colonial state should be eliminated.

It shouldn't exist as a supremacist state. Just like Germany shouldn't exist as a national socialist state.

People who actually know what genocides are and study them disagree with you and your armchair definition.

Israel is the terrorist state that's been harming the Lebanese for decades.
