How do you reconcile the fact that Hamas explicitly does not want Israelis to exist anymore though? Does that not mean they intend to carry out a genocide?
I reconcile it like I reconcile any other terrorist organization.
Theyre terrorists, dipshit, and the existence of terrorists doesnt justify slaughtering innocents, using white phos, bombing hospitals, bombing ambulances, murdering journalists, murdering the families of journalists, or starving the people who your bombs missed.
Do you grok that hamas isnt palestine? Do you understand that the existence of the taliban doesnt justify killing every single living thing in the middle east?
The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, 'O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.
A real hadith quote from Hamas' founding charter, Article VII (1988)
Let's be totally real here, for most of their short history Hamas has been deeply committed to carrying out a genocide against the Jewish people for a mix of reasons including politics, religion and race. Over the last 4-5 years Hamas have made an effort to moderate their language around this topic, but judging by recent events they have done very little to moderate their actions and ideology.
Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.
Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage. The Zionist movement, which was able with the help of Western powers to occupy Palestine, is the most dangerous form of settlement occupation which has already disappeared from much of the world and must disappear from Palestine.
They oppose Zionism. In 1988 they were just responding to the Zionist propaganda they were being fed, that Zionism is synonymous with Judaism. Their positions have evolved. Also, honestly, the people that wrote that founding document are probably all dead. Being a member of Hamas in the Gaza Strip does not lead to a long life.
Because they are commiting genocide on the people who were born on that land today, and the global jewish community is screaming at them to stop, to fucking stop, because land isnt worth slaughter?
The current israeli nation lost any claim to the land the minute they turned this into an attempt to murder and replace their neighbors.
Other native peoples dont regain land and start wanton slaughter of innocents. Shove that limp dick excuse back up your fetid ass where it came from.
Let's give the Native Americans Israel and Palestine as reparations for being massacred and displaced from their homes by a different fascist imperialist state.
We'll call it a three-state solution, and we'll back the Native American's with military support so that they can establish themselves in their new home, by force if necessary, in case the current inhabitants happen to not like the idea of being occupied by the newcomers.
And when it goes to shit, we'll say 'both sides are to blame' but conveniently abdicate our own responsibility for creating the situation in the first place.
Yeah, there it is! That vitriol, that anger. How dare someone tell you that war crimes are wrong! How dare you be told the countless dead innocents are unexcusable!
Theres no benefit to not murdering people with white phos! Scream it from the rooftops, you horrid murderous freak!
Get a grip, lunatic, and a therapist. Maybe medication will make you less excited by the death of your fellow man.
Your homophobia aside, that's exactly what the Israelis are doing. Also, strictly speaking, the conquering and elimination of a national government isn't genocide. That requires the people to be murdered for being of that national origin. If they aren't being murdered, there's no genocide.
I'm a Mexican-American atheist man who has sucked more dicks in my life than most women have. I live a couple miles from the bridge I slept under in the wintertime as a homeless kid because the Gospel Mission didn't "take my kind". I spent my days collecting enough bottles so I could buy a meal every day for my sister and I so we didn't starve, because one day our mother decided she didn't want to take care of us anymore and just left. So don't you fucking dare strut around talking about how only you know what suffering is, you Zionist, genocidal, Muslim-hating, self-righteous piece of shit. You didn't suffer through any shit countless other people have. The difference between you and I is that I didn't let it turn me into a fucking shit stain of a human being.
