Does anyone here actually consider Hamas anything other than a terrorist organization that got voted in in 2007 and then shut down election?
Did anyone here actually believe that Hamas were ever the good guys?
We used to think the Israelis weren’t on the same page, and we hope that they will eventually.
As much as we hate them right now, most of us still believe that they might be able to come back.
TLDR: False equivalency
I hate that election talking point. Hamas didn’t even win a majority — they won a plurality against split opposition with Fatah plagued by corruption scandals — and 65% the population was under 25 when this war started (so like unborn or not past third grade in 2007).
Probably pretty safe to assume 80% or so of current Gazans didn’t vote for Hamas.

The Allies firebombed 100.000s of Germans to break the resistance. Are you suggesting Israel turns up the heat?
"Others did bad things in the past, that means we can do it now"
What does that have to do with what I said?
Surely you’re not going to what about things to try and make a false equivalency?
