  • I agree. Over 60% of Palestinian people (some of who are loosely affiliated with Hamas, some of who are friends and family with Hamas fighters, some who joined Hamas as they invaded Israel and some who are Hamas fighters) support Hamas and it’s very reasonable to assume these same people agree with the actions of Hamas (invading, mudering innocent people, kidnapping innocent people) on October 8. And yes it’s sometimes a very blurry line between an innocent civilian, a civilian giving support, a civilian carrying a weapon to supply to fighters, a civilians knowingly manufacturing items that are used by Hamas fighters and Hamas fighters.










  • I can see this may have been the case. It’s easy to make peace in the moment if you give concessions to the more powerful side. The problem that arises is that it creates an underlying contempt from the weaker side that doesn’t just go away. Especially if there is a sense of humiliation and powerlessness from the deal. The only way for peace is for both sides to give concessions and refocus on common problems with common solutions.
