Hamas sucks, I wish they were never allowed to assume any power. But if Hamas doesn't control the water, electricity, food, currency, internet, or borders in Gaza; who should the Palestinians revolt against?
That's actuslly an interesting point, and I do appreciate you bringing it up.
My take is that they, the Palestinians in Gaza, should do whatever in their power to break down Hamas from inside, and show that they are strongly against these terrorists.
They should not revolt against Hamas as their leaders, since you showed they are not (even though I'm under the belief that they are, de facto), but they should revolt against Hamas residing inside of Gaza, and using the territory as a base for their terrorist operations.
So you believe Hamas is the only problem here and once they are killed off the violence will stop and relations can be normalized?
Yep. Israel is just acting in self defense, as it always has done in the past.
But Israel is doing more than self defense.
Hamas are pure reactionaries that no one would feel safe living next too. But to pretend that Hamas just randomly popped is fantasy land BS. There is more to this story and the world can't solve this bloody conflict without first understanding all peoples deserves peace and freedom.
