    I was already under the impression that the Iranians were trying to export their internal discord, by investing in more and more regional rebel groups. However, the perspective that their foreign intervention may be overextended, and so have to pick and choose their most valued interference operations across a widening front, is definitely food for thought.

    The lack of historical background is insane. The reason hamas was in control of Gaza was due to the convenience for Israel to have a terrorist counterpart. Netanyahu and likud government allowed for this situation to happen to expand the settlement policy, which ultimately backfired. But this is not addressed here, and many of the other historical key points where Israel has been responsible for this dire situation. The worst ted ever.

It is about the civilian population of Gaza, about the collective rights of Palestinians, about the Human Rights of all Palestinians and Israelis, about respecting the Geneva Conventions, ending the occupation of the West Bank for a true Palestinian State there, etc.
      - Hamas took over Gaza by force a year after the elections (after an open armed conflict with the other main political party) and there has been no elections in 16 years. That said, even if they were fully legitimate and duly elected, there does not exist any justification for gross violations of International Humanitarian Law and for destroying everything in Gaza.

    I favor a no-democracy solution with NO democratic categorization, with NO morality, and NO society. Instead, I propose a citizen stipend so that nobody is compelled to join a military out of economic duress; I propose the formation of colleges of extended families holding their land and buildings in common over generations; and I propose that the pattern described in Genesis 2 be adopted, so that the women never leave their parental households and that each man ONLY leaves his parental household to cleave to his wife’s parental household, the two becoming one flesh in their parental relations. There would be a tendency, under this pattern, for miscegenation in the populace and thus for a unity in diversity within the colleges, so that their autonomy obviates any democracy, and so that local republics can be formed, then federal unions of local republics, then federal unions of federal unions, and so on.

    I do not know the truth and what Hamas leaders and partisans really think but, in 2017, the official Hamas position recognized Israel would remain a State and instead advocated for the UN defined borders and rights. I am not 100% certain why Hamas attacked, but 16 years of blockade is no joke; in fact a blockade is objectively an act of war and of course it hampered the economy of Gaza (the current blockade is another story: it blocks anything).

      @@ShirleyShani since 2005, as hamas took the action in their hands, they were not ready to forgive what had happened until now,
      while peace could have been achieved if Palestine had accepted independence under Israel's conditions and restrictions back in 2005, not everyone can overlook the injustices they've endured, not all are kind hearted to forget all that was done to them, we have no idea what they have been through, i do not support war and retaliation, and i cannot claim to be compassionate if I had experienced similar circumstances. Only those who have lived through it truly understand.
      and the people who suffered and decided to reclaim their land which used to belong to them, the homes which they have been living in, from which they were forcibly displaced,
      and as he mentioned, the leader of Hamas who lost many family members, shows that he and his sympathizers, who seek justice for their losses, refused to accept the conditions imposed upon them for independence.
      so we do acknowledge their plight of being occupied, so many of the people, both in palestine and especially within hamas feel that until they get justice for their losses, they will support the actions of oct7, but they dont desire another massacre either,
      people who justify killing of innocents is unacceptable, but those who were weary of enduring felt compelled to retaliate in some manner, and unfortunately this resulted in the deaths of many innocent individuals. they shouldnt have done it, many palestinians feel the same, that innocents were not supposed to be hurt, but it happened. if people seek justice for the events of oct7, I urge to also seek justice for the events that have been occurring for many years before oct7 and continue to occur thereafter. that's all.
      the innocent individuals who died were wrongly killed. however, understand that hamas felt the need to demonstrate their ability to fight back, but in the wrong manner. Some people who support the killing of innocent are misguided and should not have such feelings. their emotions, fueled by years of anger and loss, have led them astray
      i request the stronger power in this war/genocide/conflict , israel, to reconsider their true intentions. I plead with them to support Palestine and allow them to heal in their own untouched land(although most of it is destroyed by someone), and then once they forgive israel, and once hamas no longer feels threatened, hopefully israel will find a way to forgive hamas for their loss after a peaceful compensation, then hamas will surely cease to be a threat to the bigger force, which is israel, both sides are fueled by anger and loss, someone has to step down and discuss. hamas is the small force and being pushed to a corner and had to retaliate in such means.
