That’s such a disingenuous comparison. The end of the Israeli state means an end to the apartheid system upon which the state is built. It does not mean the genocide of Israeli civilians. Claiming otherwise is just propaganda meant to justify Israel’s own campaign of ethnic cleansing.
Wait a minute. You think Hamas's charter is about the end of the Israeli statehood ad in the country? They are explicitly talking about unaliving every Jew in existence. Holy shit. You haven't read anything have you?
If that’s the case and not just a blatant lie, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind quoting where in their charter they explicitly say that.
Not the person you replied to, but:
https://irp.fas.org/world/para/docs/880818a.htm
Also some fun sections
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas_Charter#Text_of_the_1988_charter
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/10/hamas-covenant-israel-attack-war-genocide/675602/
Now that someone posted the quotes you just downvote without replying?
What’s the point? If you really think those quotes mean Hamas wants to “unalive” every Jewish person in existence then you need to work on your reading comprehension. I can’t help anyone with that.
I knew it! You are bad faith all around.
Whatever floats your boat.
I like that we have to hold your hand and walk you through every step of the way for you to even concede an inch. But holy hell you get to screech nonsense left and right like it's gospel. It's clear you have a limited understanding of who Hamas or the PLO are. Don't worry, I'll follow up with the receipts even though I know you'll shift the goalposts again.
I posted the quotes from Hamas' 1988 charter, so that others following the thread will see what they're really about and not get gaslit by useful idiots who gloss over their intent to simply kill every Israeli and their complete disregard for any peaceful solution.
I just saw that thanks. I worry that people are unable to have nuanced conversation. It's either supporting genocide or liberating Palestine. There is no in between.
Or simply acknowledging that maybe, just maybe firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel is a bad thing and that the IDF is responding to the 10/7 massacre and the continued threat of the ongoing rocket attacks.
"But the Israelis are good at dodging the rockets and shooting them down, so the rockets aren't that big of a deal!"
Like, FFS.
So where’s the quote then? Where are the receipts you’re talking about? All I see are personal attacks and nothing of substance.
