        What is your desired outcome here? Your replies make a strong case for your desire of the genocide of all Palestinians.

                    No. People don’t ask Israel to leave Hamas alone. They are asking for them not to kill Palestinians while fighting Hamas. Anyway. I’m out of here. We won’t settle on an agreement
