    Again this shit? There’s a reason Hamas has been rejecting the US’s “ceasefires”, and that’s because there’s no mechanism to prevent Israel from attacking Rafah after it ends. Israel has been clear they’ll attack Rafah either way. So throwing away all their leverage (also known as hope for a slightly less miserable future) for a pause in the genocide would just be stupid. Hamas has already stated the ceasefire they want and Israel has rejected it time and time again.

      Are you actually arguing that Hamas is a legit governing entity with reasonable goals that include the well being of Palestinian citizens?

        I mean yes. They’re a dictatorship, don’t get me wrong, and terrorists depending on who you ask, but the idea that they don’t give two shits about Palestinians and want the conflict with Israel to continue forever is simply not supported by anything from the last 20 years. Hamas can best be thought of as the Palestinian version of the Troubles IRA, and while the IRA was… That I don’t think you can argue that they didn’t want the well being of the Irish people.

            Uh… Literally yes. They’d not considered a terrorist organization in the UN, for example. Whether Hamas is a terrorist organization was never as clear cut as the US and Israel would want you to believe. Not that it matters, but there you go.
