Lmao, you're still trying to tie Hamas of 2023 to Hamas of 1987. Even the article you cite has the expert calling it a resistance organization. Then you add in that Jihad is their only purpose for existing. That's you. Not them. This isn't AQ/ISIS. They have one, very clear, reasonable demand that we are bending over backwards to avoid. If Israel ended their occupation and submitted to a UN mission for peacekeeping and elections Hamas would lose all of it's reason for existence. Believe it or not, people don't like to commit suicide or murder. They have to be driven to it. Militaries do it by training and indoctrination, resistance groups just hoover up broken people who were Indoctrinated by oppression.

Which is why the number one way of ending political violence always has been and always will be bringing the group into the decision making process if it's at all reasonable. That's why you see a peace process in Colombia, but cult deprogramming and military action with ISIS. As long as conservatives can count on sheep like you running around shouting, "they just hate us for no reason!" They will have cover to continue the cycle of oppression.

We are specifically talking about the formation of Hamas in this conversation. I was rebutting your points.

Funny you try to skim past that.

Nah son. This was the conversation at the start-

Funny how when it comes to Israeli extremists we all discuss nuance and how complicated and messy politics and language is but when it comes to extremists in resistance organizations it's immediately assumed that what they say colours the entire resistance.

Which is in response to someone breaking their back to to defend the likuud party. You don't get to move those goalposts.
