    Close your eyes and pretend hamas has the US’s arsenal. What happens in the next few months or so?

      A ceasefire gets signed overnight and we have a two state solution and the tens of thousands of illegal settlers in the west bank take their ass home

        You’re saying Israel is genocidal but hamas isn’t. They simply don’t have the means. Yes, Israel is the bad guy, but by their decades of settler colonialism have cultivated a group literally dedicated to their eradication. Fighting a bad guy doesn’t automatically make you a good guy. They’re just less awful by comparison.

          Yes, because Israel is committing genocide and Hamas is not. The things that happen in westerners rascist imagining do not have any bearing on actual factual reality

          Hamas might be genocidal.
          Israel is genocidal.

          I’m not gonna go so far as to say Hamas are good guys, but treat people according to what they have done and not what they may do. They’re not currently on the same level.
