A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    It’s interesting how you select one person from the israeli government but all of Hamas.

    Hamas is far more peaceful than israel. They have proven this in 2018 with their peaceful march. The problem is that israel does not respond to words.

        Hamas is the elected head of a stateless people who’s land was stolen by Europeans. You label them terrorists, I label them as justified warriors for the land and genocide to which they have been subjugated.

        This isn’t a both sides argument, as western media tries again and again to frame every fucking story. This is the oppressed fighting back.

        Terrorist labels aren’t used for armed forces protecting settlers as they rampage Palestinian villages. Terrorist labels aren’t used as hospitals are leveled. Terrorist labels aren’t used when they drop leaflets to tell civilians to move to a place to avoid getting shelled and then SHELLING that place. Terrorist labels aren’t used when a large percentage of children of a whole People grow up without parents because of mass murder. Terrorism isnt used for the decades of genocide. Decades.

        Terrorist labels get used when those children become adults and respond how most of us would respond to the conditions of the open air prison in which they reside and will likely die early. Why on earth would you expect them to be peaceful?

      Because Netanyahu is not Israel and Hamas is not Palestine. Why do I not name Hamas leader? Maybe cause it’s not common knowledge since they hide in Egypt and Jordan, in their villas and don’t come out except to bomb malls and steal humanitarian supplies meant for Gaza.

      But seriously why are you defending terrorists? I’m not defending Netanyahu, I’m saying he needs to be gone.

      I’d love to see your thoughts if you’d been in the area to experience Hamas’ “peace” on October 7th.

          I certainly hope you’re not an American and have never been to the United States, because I’ve got some unfortunate news about who that land properly belongs to.

            Are Americans actively being resisted against by the people they are occupying or has there been a peace treaty somewhere?

            I wonder.
