To not have a country controlled by Hamas

ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 23 Jul 2024 06:16 collapse

Then get Israel out of Palestinian land and Hamas will stop existing. The mere reason Hamas became a group was due to all the terrible things Israel did from 1948-1987 and then in 1987 Hamas became a thing.

Someone once made a whole list of massacres that happened, I screenshotted it;

It doesnt work like that, Hamas wants Israel to be wiped off from existence and kill all jews globally, that is stated in their constitution…

Right now, Hamas killed all opposition and their propaganda is deeply rooted into the majority of palestinian population.

It is clearly not as simple as getting rid of all these illegal settlers…

It actually does. This happens when you massacres the Palestinian race and steal land since 1948 meanwhile making Apartheid, humiliate the Palestinian people, steal their homes, kill their entire families, acquaintances and friends. At one point, people will break and do anything to fight back. Thats exactly what’s happening right now.

Right now, Hamas killed all opposition and their propaganda is deeply rooted into the majority of palestinian population.

The biggest Hamas propoganda is Israel. Happens when you keep murdering entire families, steal homes, lands and do not give actual human rights to the Palestinian people.

It is clearly not as simple as getting rid of all these illegal settlers…

No, you don’t say? Thought it was! /s.

EDIT: Forgot to add this:

  1. Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in shadowy detention center.

  2. Death toll in Israeli attack on displaced Palestinians in Rafah rises to 45.

  3. Israeli forces’ systemic denial of fair trial rights to Palestinian child prisoners amounts to arbitrary detention.

  4. Israel prevents hundreds of worshippers from entering Al-Aqsa on first night of Ramadan.

  5. Israel’s PM Netanyahu ‘proud’ of preventing establishment of a Palestinian state.

  6. Far-right minister says nuking Gaza an option, PM suspends him from cabinet meetings.

  7. Israel Defense Minister Calls Palestinians ‘Human Animals’ Amid Israeli Aggression.

  8. Video shows Israeli settler trying to take over Palestinian house.

  9. Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established

Gaza was already an independant palestinian state, and it is a shit hole thanks to Hamas…

Anyone believing that Hamas would step down once a two state solution is achieved is dumb. Hamas is Iran puppet, they dont give a shit about palestinian…

You have not provided once with an actual source to any of the people (including myself) that commented to you. You are merely stating your personal opinion and I don’t care about your personal opinions. I care about actual facts.

Gaza was already an independant palestinian state, and it is a shit hole thanks to Hamas…

And guess who funded Hamas the entire time? Israel. It is a chaotic mess because Israel does not allow people to leave the open air prison. Hamas members only know war due to Israel’s behavior towards the Palestinian people, Hamas is a literal creation of Israel immense fascistic behavior to the Palestinian people. 

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

Gaza: Israel’s ‘Open-Air Prison’

Anyone believing that Hamas would step down once a two state solution is achieved is dumb. Hamas is Iran puppet, they dont give a shit about palestinian…

And all you do is speaking with personal opinion which is drenched in bias. Hamas cares about a Palestinian state. That’s why they were created and are fighting against the tyrant. Against the illegal state Israel which is founded by displacing 750 000, murdering many along the way. Israel is occupying their land. 

If you want to discuss about history and political matters. You ought to be educated in it and not just having personal opinions. Read a book for example; ilan pape the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. 

Since you are only writing with bias and personal opinion and provide zero evidence, sources and facts. I will stop commenting to you and ignore you.

EDIT:

I would like to state that Gaza never has been a independent place. The moment Israel settlers left, Israel made it an open-air prison. My second source proves this. So you are basically lying to try to get your personal opinion (drenched in bias) as ‘‘truth’’. That’s not how it works.

Hlodwig@lemmy.world on 23 Jul 2024 16:31 collapse

“Israel far right government” yes. So yes, we should get rid of Hamas and Israel far right government (including israeli illegal settlers).

the 1988 Hamas charter was widely described as antisemitic, Hamas’s 2017 charter removed the antisemitic language and said Hamas’s struggle was with Zionists, not Jews.

Not an opinion buddy, Hamas is an Iran puppet, thats a fact… But i guess you cant support truth cause you might be biased?

Good thing that your voice has no importance whatsoever and that most of global power agree on the truth…

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world on 24 Jul 2024 08:00 collapse

The point is that your “facts” are irrelevant to the topic of Hamas’s charter.

Now, admit that you misrepresented the goals of Hamas.

Hlodwig@lemmy.world on 24 Jul 2024 12:10 collapse

Glad you agreed, so lets sum it up:

  1. Hamas like Hezbollah is an iranian puppet.

  2. Iran wants to erase Israel and spread its influence over every other arabs nation

  3. Thus Hamas wants to erase from existence Israel.

  4. There cannot be peace for palestinian and israeli as long as Hamas exists.

  5. Best solution to begin peace creation: cleansing Hamas militants in the region.

You are welcome buddy, glad i helped you improve your knowledge on the region and reduced a little bit your ignorance…

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world on 24 Jul 2024 18:11 collapse

Glad you no longer believe that Hamas want to “Kill all Jews globally”.

You are welcome buddy.

Hlodwig@lemmy.world on 24 Jul 2024 18:25 collapse

They would like to, if they succeed in destroying Israel, they will keep going expanding globally, no doubt about that.

But obviously, the arab league and Israel wont accept this BS any longer from Iran. Hamas will disappear, every countries accepted Gaza fate, sad but necessary evil. Hezbollah will follow quickly after. And its for the better, no doubt about this.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world on 24 Jul 2024 20:43 collapse

Some doubt about that.

roboto@feddit.org on 23 Jul 2024 09:09 next collapse

Not that Hamas are great guys or anything but they have changed their charta and have agreed to a 2 state solution. They are more moderate than the Israeli government although that isn’t particularly challenging. I wouldn’t want to live under a corrupt and authoritarian organization like Hamas so not even trying to defend them but this comment is wildly inaccurate.

Can you explain what exactly is Hamas‘ propaganda and why you believe that it has any relevance right now? Hamas is only influential in the Gaza Strip where the population right now is busy surviving a genocide. In the West Bank and in diaspora, Hamas is basically irrelevant.

That being said I also want Israel to be wiped off from existence because a settler colonial apartheid state that commits genocide shouldn’t exist. There should be a democratic state instead that gives everyone equal rights and also respects the Palestinian right of return.

Right now, Hamas agrees to a 2 state solution, which would be a start. Right now, the Israelis have decided that they oppose such a solution. Israelis want all of Palestine without the Palestinians. The USA, UK & Germany are providing rhetorical and political support for this policy. That needs to change before any armed resistance becomes unnecessary.

Gaza has never been anything like „an independent Palestinian state“ it’s been an open air prison ever since Israel withdrew their settlers. Hamas sucks but they are not the problem, the problem is that Zionists want all of Palestine without Palestinians.

Hlodwig@lemmy.world on 23 Jul 2024 17:22 collapse

Hamas is the problem, Hezbollah is the problem and Iran is the problem.

Illegal settlers would not be a problem if Hamas was doing its job: protecting palestinians instead of attacking peaceful population (be it egyptian, israeli or palestinian themselves…).

Glad the consensus of global power agree with me!

Israeli government. Voted in by enough Israelis to represent them and tolerable enough for the remainder as they didn’t even attempt to overthrow them.

Israel is not getting out of the blame for this, it can’t be shifted onto just the far right.

Hlodwig@lemmy.world on 25 Jul 2024 15:57 collapse

Voted in because of constant Hamas attacks on Israel, aiming also at the 20% of israeli muslims…

So if we follow your logic, all palestinians support Hamas which is recognized as terrorist group by most of the World including arabs countries, thus Israel is not doing a genocide at all, but cleansing the region from terrorists…

Is this news or commentary?

I believe that unless it is resolved, the end of the war will only be temporary.

I believe that bringing a Palestinian state into being at least on paper would help bring that about more than anything else the U.S. could do.

It’s news.

This article highlights some of the contradictions of the US, between what is said and what is done in relation to the two-state solution. The author including some personal comments does not change its core, which is informative of the current situation.
