The part you're not understanding here is the obvious fact that Hamas commits horrendous acts, but that is a natural consequence to being subjected to an Apartheid regime. Isreal has the power to end that cycle of violence and chooses not to, the pressure need to be put on them. Just going "jeez both these suck" and moving on accomplishes nothing.
Have a nice day.
If that's your takeaway, you're either completely lacking in reading comprehension or purposely misrepresenting my argument.
You read it but you processed nothing. Nowhere did I say that Hamas are the good guys or that their actions are excusable.
I do not know how I can dumb this down further for you.
I wrote a whole paragraph up there addressing this. You treat this as if these are two equal sides, like a chess match. This is not the case. Subjugating millions of people will breed extremism. Explaining the root causes of extremism is not the same thing as condoning extremism. To end it, they need to begin by ending the subjugation or this cycle will continue.
I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand, and I don't know how many times I need to repeat that concept.
