Under the ideological principles of Islamism, Hamas promotes Palestinian nationalism in an Islamic context; it has pursued a policy of jihad (armed struggle) against Israel.
I know the terroristic tactics are wrong. But you never address why Hamas, as a representative of some Palestinians, have a problem with Israel. In fact, you ignore the history of the last few centuries and throw them into some bucket with all people throughout history who ever hated Jews.
Itās in your definition, what is Hamas struggling against? I canāt believe you are that blind to say that they simply hate Jews, for no reason.
No the terrorist designation was not instituted by me. Iām sure the people who did had good reason, no?
Among the G20, nine countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Turkey) have recognized Palestine as a state (Indonesia and Saudi Arabia only recognize Palestine) while ten countries (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States) have not.[note 1]
Although these countries generally support some form of two-state solution to the conflict, they take the position that their recognition of a Palestinian state is conditioned to direct negotiations between Israel and the PNA.
I donāt know of any country that accuses Israel of terrorism.
I have said over and over again that Hamas has committed terrorist acts. I have never said they didnāt. What you canāt comprehend is that Israel also commits terrorist acts. So each side feels endlessly justified in doing their terrorism.
Well. You are finally asking the right question. But I want to clarify. Are you agreeing with the UN, that Israel has broken international law? Are you agreeing with some governments and people like Noam Chomsky that Israel commits acts that could be called terrorism?
Iām not asking about Hamas. Weāve covered that.
I am being very reasonable . Who broke the peace first, Israel or its neighbors?
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948. In 1947, and again on May 14, 1948, the United States had offered de facto recognition of the Israeli Provisional Government, but during the war, the United States maintained an arms embargo against all belligerents.
Israel has been in an existential struggle since its inception.
Asking who broke the peace first is the opposite of reasonable. There never was peace. You are claiming that the solution offered by Britain was peaceful. Under your definition of peace, all those other nations were supposed to accept a solution that they didnāt agree to. Thatās not peace, thatās occupation by power.
Hamas built tunnels underground in Gaza in recent years. Didnāt you read what I posted above about the Hamas tunnels? Or do you have your mind set that Israel is wrong and no one else is wrong? Hamas started this on October 7, but Israel is retaliating all wrong. If you read the article below, it also states that Israel also have orphan children from this war too. Gaza and Israel is full of orphans now and Hamas started it.
Yes underneath the Gas chambers that killed 6 million jews.
The Nazis killed millions of people in gas vans or in stationary gas chambers. The victims were people with disabilities and later Jews and other prisoners. The vast majority of those killed by gassing were Jews.
Irony. So wouldnāt Palestinians have as much right?
Israel listens to the UN. Elections. Treat the Hamas problem as a police action, find the criminals and punish them. More openess about IDF actions. For starters.
