“Hamas’s broader plan [was] one that analysts say was intended not just to kill and capture Israelis, but to spark a conflagration that would sweep the region and lead to a wider conflict.”

        So are you honestly pretending that Hamas didn’t send hundreds of suicide bombers into Israel before the blockade by Israel was imposed? This blockade was in return protested against by Hamas backed Protesters and those protests turned violent often.

        The primary reason for the blockade is Hamas, so that the terror organization doesn’t get even more weapons than it already has.

        Would YOU let a terror organization in your backyard gain access to weapons and military equipment that has vowed to wipe you and your people of the face of the earth?

        And since you asked: No, I would never turn my anger outward like that. Never.

          The motivations and methods of Hamas does not negate the fact that a peaceful protest March did take place. Meaning, the people of Palestine have tried peace. They were shot and maimed, even children. Let me ask you, if all 2.2 million Palestinians declared themselves Hamas, would you advocate for wiping them out?

            You don’t even try to have a discussion and are not answering questions. Your Strawman arguments are quite lame.

            You only want to paint the picture that poor Hamas had no other choice but to maim and kill civilians.

            I end this „discussion“ at this point
