It's a false dichotomy to condition ceasing the extermination of a whole innocent population to protests towards a terrorist organization. Israel does not need to bomb several hospitals to stop Hamas. There are other ways to go about stopping terrorists.

Maybe you don't see many calls at Hamas because people are catching up with how wholesale persecution and extermination of people is often justified by pointing to a few malicious individuals that are part of that population.

There's no extermination. Quit getting your talking points from Tiktok and Twitter.

Do you have anything but dismissive snark or are you going to pretend continuous bombing of civilian buildings is some sort of surgical targeted action.

There's a pretty big difference between stupid declarations about things that simply aren't true, and trying to start a conversation. I just assumed with an axiom like that there was no conversation to be had.

Clearly there's no conversation to be had, but because you want to pretend whatever you don't like to hear is false and stupid, without even trying to offer any reason for it.

They can fuck off to any other 20 Arab/Muslim countries. How many other Jewish countries are there?

Oh yeah, somebody goes to you and tells you to move to diffent country or they'll drop a bomb on you and your family, I'm sure you'll happy to comply. Whatever religion and ethnicity you are, I'm sure you can just go anywhere vaguely similar and know everyone on a first-name basis.

This is neither a matter of handing the whole region exclusively to palestinians or to israelis. Justifying it because "there are other arab/muslim countries" is such a frankly childish way to justify a conflict as serious as this. Needing to say this is almost ridiculous, but a region doesn't need to be populated by only a single kind of people.
