    From the beginning I’ve said only that Hamas doesn’t exist merely because of Israel.

    And it isn’t 100%. Your mind is apparently to narrow to see other possibilities. Israel could’ve had no restrictions post 2005 and they could’ve been more violent. Obtained more weapons. Blown up more buses and civilians. Fired more rockets. Hell, let’s take it further. They could’ve agreed to everything the Palestinians wanted in negotiations. And it could’ve resulted in a country that immediately declares war on them with trade support from the surrounding countries that had attacked Israel on multiple occasions. Or even further, as I’ve stated multiple times, the Muslim brotherhood has offshoots all throughout the region and is known to be militaristic and problematic in almost all of those countries.

    You think I somehow agreed with you? You are just a naive fool. This attack happened because Hamas perpetrated it. No more. No less. And as long terrorism is their method of negotiation, they will never know peace. In fact, they will likely only be weakening their positions in any peace process. Because now, I guarantee any agreement for sovereignty will be contingent on no attacks as a basic starting point. And any act that violates it would make the agreement null and void.

    Israel exists and will continue to do so. Hamas, on the other hand, would not be the first terrorist organization to be dismantled and made inconsequential or non-existent. Palestinians have a right to a safe and secure life. Perhaps if Hamas is wiped out, negotiations will start again.

      The back-forth here reminds me of The Resistance of WW2. That movement was basically in every European nation that resisted German occupation/expansion. Those nations, by necessity, coalesced into one movement because Germany was the aggressor. The moment WW2 ended, so too ended the various resistance movements as there was nothing left to resist.

        Got it. So there should be one pan Arab state and Israel should cease to exist as well. And when that happens, what you’re saying, is that all will be well in the region?

          Has Germany ceased to exist? Are their WW2 adversaries oppressing them to this day? Are they confined to an ever-smaller part of their own country? On the contrary, they tore down the physical & ideological walls dividing their country & were welcomed into a union with freedom of movement.

              A union where all states keep their independence, but work together. The kind of union the world could be one day, in a future far away.
