    Imagine if Hamas just… Governed. Provided for their people. Shared some of the billions of dollars in their war chest to, you know, do what a government is supposed to do.

    Take a look at the blockade (which happened before Hamas became in charge of Gaza) and say that again.

        So I know this is pointless, but I’ll bite.

        How do you expect a country that depends on trade with the outside world to make it when cut off from said trade? Israel killed the Gazan (and Palestinian at large, but Gazan in particular) economy in 2005/2006.

          Any real government would have moved to normalize relations. In fact, the PA did exactly that, which is why Hamas performed their coup

            Yeah, yeah, normalize relations, the magical thing you can do to make the genocidal government stop being genocidal and… granted Gaza the privilege of becoming like the West Bank (where they’re also being genocided).

            How does Israeli dick feel like?

              This war literally began because Israel is normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia and Hamas wants to stop that. The entire reason for Hamas attacking in October was because they very explicitly do not want peace in th Middle East.

              One assumes it feels circumcized.
