      Does anyone here actually consider Hamas anything other than a terrorist organization that got voted in in 2007 and then shut down election?

      Did anyone here actually believe that Hamas were ever the good guys?

      We used to think the Israelis weren’t on the same page, and we hope that they will eventually.

      As much as we hate them right now, most of us still believe that they might be able to come back.

      TLDR: False equivalency

        The Allies firebombed 100.000s of Germans to break the resistance. Are you suggesting Israel turns up the heat?

      Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organization, under international sanctions. Nobody expects them to bow to UN pressure.

      Israel is supposedly a responsible and law abiding nation state, with diplomatic ties, international recognition, and is expected to behave according to international law.

      If you want equal treatment that can be done, the UN is repeatedly tired of Israel’s behavior
