- The "occupation" in Gaza had lasted from 1967 to 2005, making it at most two generations. The Hamas is a Jihad organization sworn to a holy war against Infidels whether they are Jews, Christian, Hindu or in worship of the flying spaghetti monster, even Muslims themselves. It is part of the global Muslim Brotherhood movement founded in Egypt almost 100 years ago (and banned since) which advocate an agenda to speared Islam across the world, educationally, financially, politically and finally if needed in violent manners. It's very vocal in Jordan and other places, and in ties power in Turkey and Qatar. They even don't acknowledge Jews right to have their own country and calls for their eradication (a view which is now popular and legitimate considered legitimate thanks to social media influence campaigns and others). Arabs in Israel have civil rights which you hardly can say about any other Muslim country in the world (as for discrimination, one can argue, as I've no idea). The fact the you cite Hamas cheap propaganda says maybe you are pro Hamas after all.BM07-12-2025

- NOBODY here is pro Hamas but Hamas is the RESULT of 4 generations of occupation, theft, discrimination, war crimes and the international community’s resistance to imposing a lasting solution, which sorry but if someone had some balls and will, would be pretty easy to start in weeks and build on as things would calm down and simplify. North and South Korea have managed avoiding war for almost as long as this has lasted.Mistermaumau07-12-2025
