Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.

    Or you do nothing and get completely walked all over.

    Because what’s your solution? Words aren’t doing shit.

      Any action other than assisting the invaders would be an improvement.

        The PA tried peace and the West Bank is being ethnically cleansed more every day.

        The problem here isn’t Hamas. It’s israel.

          I upvoted you, because your point about the occupied West Bank is valid, but let’s be clear: Hamas is very much a problem. They haven’t held real elections in Gaza for close to 2 decades and have been in severe violent internal conflict with their Palestinian opposition.

          Israel being genocidal maniacs doesn’t mean everyone shooting rockets at them is automatically a good guy.

            The “Palestinian opposition” here being the PA, a tool of israel that does nothing but serve israel. The official organisation of Uncle Tom. And as I just stated, they are giving away the entire West Bank to israel and helping israel arrest Hamas members trying to resist.

            Guess who hasn’t held elections either? The PA.

            Hamas is certainly not the “goodest of guys”. If you want perfect victims look elsewhere. But their violent resistance is only as a means to reach peace. Hamas has already offered a ceasefire and is prepared to agree to a 2state solution. Only israel does not want peace

            So no, Hamas is not the problem. Israel is the problem.

              Ok, after some more reading about the government of Palestine, this is not a completely unreasonable position. Thanks for pointing out the lack of elections in the occupied West Bank too.
