6 million Jews were killed during the holocaust. Nearly 50% of the global population.

How you can compare the two with any sense of rationality is beyond me.

Let’s see what they propose. Or you for that matter?

If Al qaeda was based in Canada and constantly attacking New York what would the U.S. have done post 9/11? Just leave them alone?

The truth is there no good option here. Elimination of Hamas is the only option and it will be bloody for both sides, partially due to Hamas use of Palestinian citizens as human shields. Hopefully after Hamas is removed from power Palestinians can elect leaders who don’t call for the complete annihilation of Israel and Israelis can elect moderates who are open to negotiations as well.

Unless you are among those who think Israel should be dissolved in which case you are not actually interested in a peaceful solution for all sides.

If you took a poll it wouldn’t even be close in terms of Palestinians supporting Hamas’ goal of committing genocide vs American Jews supporting the same against Palestinians. That’s why you don’t see voices of Palestinians in the diaspora calling out Hamas while tons of American Jews are extremely critical of Israel. Apparently it’s racist for me to say that?

Hamas literally is launching rockets from hospitals, schools, etc.

So you’re not interested in a solution that is realistic (ie allows the state of Israel to remain). Guess you don’t actually want peace.

Reading is hard: https://archive.ph/RNiIk

“After some general explanatory language about Hamas’s religious foundation and noble intentions, the covenant comes to the Islamic Resistance Movement’s raison d’être: the slaughter of Jews. “The Day of Judgement will not come about,” it proclaims, “until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.””

Just so I understand your argument - Palestinians are not Hamas but Israel IS Likud.

How many Palestinians have been protesting globally against Hamas? How many hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been protesting against Likud?

Ah ok so please tell me which middle eastern country is morally superior to the U.S.

I’ll wait.

I’m not saying all of these commenters are anti semites but many of them have been conditioned to basically think that whatever Hamas does is a legitimate way of responding to grievances (some certainly with merit) and whatever Israel does respond to that is genocide.

If Al qaeda was based in Canada what would the U.S. have done after 9/11? Let them just continue to operate?

I have asked several posters on here to give me some better options for Israel than to destroy Hamas. So far not a single one has obliged.

Well said. I can’t believe I found another person on here with a reasonable take.

Who elected Hamas? It’s interesting you say Palestinians have no other choice. Who governs the Palestinians in the West Bank?

What does that even mean?
