    Israel shoots unarmed protestors and says boycotting Israel is terrorism. When you refuse to allow any nonviolent resistance what do you expect will happen?

    Netanyahu spent decades undermining Palestinians who actually want peace, because they get in the way of his plan to take all the land. He doesn’t want compromise. He doesn’t want any Palestinians as neighbors. His extremism creates more extremism.

      Conveniently ignoring that Israel was historically the party offering a two state solution that was rejected.

      The resistance wouldn’t even be necessary if Hamas leaders weren’t both extremists without an interest in their own people’s well-being and incredibly corrupt.

      That being said, fuck netanyahu, too. Doesn’t make Hamas less of a terrorist group tho.

        That’s historically untrue. Israel offered an unworkable solution and it was rejected. Palestinians offered another solution and it was rejected by Israel. The US offered a solution and that was rejected too. The UN offered a solution and both sides rejected it.

        It’s revisionist history to put the blame solely on one side.

        Hamas fully recognized Israel and got nothing in return, as Netanyahu then moved the goalposts. Gazans peacefully protested and got shot by Israeli military. They asked the UN for help and Israel called it “diplomatic terrorism” and punished them for trying. The Netanyahu government has bragged that they blocked peace plans for 17 years. Believe them when they say it.
