    While you are right, it is important to consider that Hamas has very low support in the population of Palestine, similar to Netanjahu and his fascist government having rather little support in the Israeli population.

    The corrupt and criminal leaderships of both countries are fighting a war for their own advantage and civilians on both sides (though ~20x Palestinians than Israelis) are dieing for a war they just want to end.

      I think from polling data the majority of Israelis support the war with pallestine/Netanyahu. And similarly the majority of Palestinians support Hamas and violence against Israel

      That’s what makes this so difficult. If Hamas had no support it would probably be easier to deal with them

        Netanyahu has become very unpopular since Oct 7, and the Israeli media has been involved in a borderline criminal level of self-censorship about the war.

        Hamas does have widespread support, but at least some of that is because they’re the only game in town in Gaza, short of embracing genocide. Admittedly, because Hamas has put great effort into making sure they’re the only major player allowed to operate in Gaza.

      But you’re still happy putting all the blame on Israelis (and not the Arab ones, just the Jewish ones). All because you Westerners decided that you’ve had enough of hating Arabs and now want to protect them. I still remember 2001 though, and all the hate you guys spewed, so I’m not buying it. I still remember all the western citizens calling for the destruction of Palestine when it became known that they were against your war on terror.

      But now your corporate news sources are telling you it’s time to love the Arabs and hate Israel, so y’all are all in.
