co-existence is accepting the facts that 1 entity has a right to exist just as any other and you do not arbitrary decide how far back in time to determine who stole whose home.

next, israeli settlers illegally settling in land that does not belong to them is a problem that needs solving,this has been made very clear,your magnification of the violence doesn't negate that fact other than pushing your bias narratives.

hamas never stopped declaring their aim to wipe israel from existence, despite their renewed charter.the fancy words they used serve nothing but to hoodwink the less sophisticated.

if your logic prevails,then prc,timor leste,previous soviet states or even america has no right to exist because they stole,occupy and settled in lands that does not belong to them and the original inhabitants should wage terror attacks on the populance because,you know,these people are stealing lands of their great grand father or however far back in time these terrorists chose.

it's sad that you have, on multiple times, try to push your bias agenda and narratives and each time you are only serving to highlight your bias.

Israel has never had intentions of coexistence, it was founded on Settler Colonialism... You're white washing ethnic cleansing.

hamas never had any intentions of co-existence only genocide and terrorism.

you are and have been justifying hamas terrorism and crimes as the aspirations of palestinians,disgusting to say the least.

You're literally wrong. Has Hamas done war crimes? Yes. You don't need to make things up to not like Hamas. I've provided so many resources to learn the history. Instead you'd rather justify settler Colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and collective punishment. When you do that, it's clear you don't see Palestinians as human beings.

i could say the same to you.

unlike you,i do not solely focus on one side's atrocities to paint the other like some kind of victim.

you are literally a hamas apologist using palestinians to push your agenda for genocide.your resources aren't exactly neutral to begin with.

I'm literally advocating for ending the genocide and equal rights.

Read the Reports on Apartheid and learn for yourself

Amnesty International Report

Human Rights Watch Report

and i am clearly saying there are no good guys in this conflict,no one side has the moral high ground over the other.

palestine and israel have the right to exist and to overly focus on the elimination/vilification of one over the other is not going to solve anything let alone your so called ending of genocide or equal rights.

Israel was founded on ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism, directly responsible for the ongoing apartheid, and is currently engaging in genocide.

I'm not saying Hamas if good. The majority of Palestinians don't either. Palestinians deserve a free and fair election to choose their representatives, but that's not really possible living under a violent apartheid. Israel has prevented any peace solution. Armed militant groups like Hamas are the only ones fighting against the apartheid.

This is a war between the occupied and the occupier.

To Israel, Palestinians have never had any right to exist, or human rights, or civil rights.

I agree with New Historians on a One-State Solution. If you're genuinely interested in the history of the conflict, you should read their books. They are significantly more detailed than any article and written with a huge amount of sources from both sides of the story.

The book 'A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples' by Ilan Pappe has a detailed account of the history since the early 1920s

you would have made a strong case...if you weren't a hamas propagandist. i am now suspecting you are anti jewish as well.

What is wrong with you.

Anti-zionism and criticism of the state of Israel are not at all the same as antisemitism. Israel and its actions have never and will never represent all Jewish people, regardless of how much they try to claim so.

If you're conflating the two, you are being antisemitic.

so far,i have been equally critical of israel and hamas.

based off your links and articles,seems like the one villifying and conflating is you.

Please tell me how I am conflating antisemitism and anti-zionism. You're the one who claimed I'm antisemitic when I've been exclusively talking about Israel.
