Genocide is not a political view, it’s violent extremism. You can be friends with someone you disagree with about economic policy. You can’t just casually interact with someone knowing they fully believe genocide is good and some people don’t deserve to live and have human rights.
Hamas was elected into power in 2006, only winning roughly 43% of the electorate, with only a 77% voter turnout, that was only 33% of the total population of palestine at the time. roughly 45% of palestinians are under the age of 20 meaning they werent even alive during the election. israel defending itself is okay until it turns into killing innocent civilians and bombing schools, churches, and hospitals
To whoever replied to me, you’re absolutely right! Hamas is a dictatorship who have exploited the Palestinian people, many of whom are children. They need to go. Thus when they attacked Israel with rockets made from the people’s water pipes, Israel said it was enough. Palestine deserves to be a state. But not under Hamas. Fatah maybe, as the West Bank and Israel have had fairly decent relations
