    Are you aware that Hamas’s charter has the explicit objective of the complete eradication of the Israeli state? The PLO is also not very different in this aspect. So where do you get this “one side is attempting genocide” talking point from?

      Yeah, groups tend to want an end to the group genociding them. I get it from the actual facts, such as the 10 to 1 discrepancy in palestinian deaths vs Israeli.

      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?

          They are explicitly talking about unaliving every Jew in existence.

          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

            ‘Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.’ (Preamble)

            Also some fun sections

            ‘[Peace] initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement… Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of Islam… There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility.’ (Article 13)

            ‘Egypt was, to a great extent, removed from the circle of struggle [against Zionism] through the treacherous Camp David Agreement. The Zionists are trying to draw other Arab countries into similar agreements in order to bring them outside the circle of struggle…Leaving the circle of struggle against Zionism is high treason, and cursed be he who perpetrates such an act.’ (Article 32)

              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 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.

              So where’s the quote then? Where are the receipts you’re talking about? All I see are personal attacks and nothing of substance.

              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.
