      Hamas is Jihadist and extremist. It would have been a fatal mistake for Israel to support them to undermine the secular movement for a free palestine. Trying to position Hamas between international support and the palestinian people sounds like a really cynical and bad idea.

      There is no way the hard right in Israel would ever pursue such an agenda.right?

        What do you think the hostages they took were for? Aside from later rape after they were tired from all the initial raping and pillaging.

          Palestinian militants take IDF soldiers captive so they can exchange them for their own that are being held captive in Israel.

            You’re just being overdramatic. My comment never mentions Palestine or Palestinians explicitly and to be clear I was referring to hamas, the terrorists, that hide behind Palestinian civilians.
