Hamas is a terrorist organisation. They can leave tomorrow. They can stop, but another will take their place. Until Israel's bloodlust is fulfilled, you'll always have a "terrorist" organisation fighting against those inflicting terror.

That would be a fairand worthy cause if FREEDOM from persecution was the ONLY stated goal.... Something about wiping a whole race of people off the face of the earth somehow doesn't give off very noble vibes...

I mean, Jews and Christians never lived across North Africa or the ME right? No persecution by Muslims there. Go through Africa and the murderous groups all of a certain ilk.
 
Who

Who here as vouched for Hamas and claimed they are not terrorists. I can see the confusion you might have in this because your blinkers are all, "Hamas bad. zimbos is Hamas"

The problem you have is your foaled understanding of history. Until you realise that Hamas is a product of Israel, you'll constantly be stuck on your high and mighty crusade. Until you realise that this genocide -and it is a genocide, which you have failed to acknowledge- has been on going for more than 70 years, and not since October 7, you'll always be shouting strawman arguments.

Also, piss off. Adding in the "islamist" like it's a religious ideology. Seriously, your Islamophobic rhetoric is harrowing.
You're surely not that naive that you can see elements in Islam promote world domination and eradication of anything else. Other faiths do too but the way the modern world sees Islamist groups spreading throughout the world. Muslims who live with that around them in minority countries don't condemn it. They secretly enjoy those ways becoming strengthened. Seeing it all across the west.
 
No thats NOT what I am saying at all.... And for what its worth BOTH populations are brainwashed into hating the "other side" based on what some dude alone in the desert did or didn't hallucinate a few thousand years ago.... That Hamas was supported by Iran as much as other shady actors is a fair point but doesnt take away from their stated goal of destroying Israel and ANY Jews in Palestine.... Thats a fairly crucial threat to have to just "live with". I equally feel for both the Isreali and Palestinian non-combatants and will ALWAYS push for their suffering to end immediately.. Who does or doesnt control the "spoils" of war is an existential question of lesser of the two evils.
Can you understand why a people, who have been oppressed for more than 70 years, might grow up to then wish for the death of the people who've been systematically doing that oppression?

I'm not justifying it, I'm just simply asking, can you understand why Hamas might have that ideal, and feel that way? They've watched their mothers, father's, brothers, sisters (some as young as 1 years old or less) be murdered by the IDF. They've heard Israel say that they want to wipe them out. They've lived not as humans or citizens, but as slaves. They've never experienced freedom. They've had their every moment, controlled and dictated to them. Just today, it was reported in an Israeli paper that the IDF were ordered to open fire on people lining up for aid. Can you understand why they might have such a view. When you've lived for more than 70 years under oppressive systematic apartheid and genocide, you can't expect them to think highly of Israel and the Zionist (remember, it's Zionism not Jews, the Hamas charter clarified this in 2007 if not mistaken) movement, and talk about them in nice tones.

Dude... you DO realise I have ancestors STILL living under Ottoman occupation right, no need to convince me :)

I'm not naive. I'm quite sure that I understand my religion and it's teaching better than people who've never studied it nor understand it.

Islam has been the target of hate for decades. Heck, we have politicians in our parliament that opens spout Islamic hate and vitriol, and then get elected. You want Muslims to sit quietly and acquiesce. Less than 1% of Muslims are extremists. But sure, label the whole religion as being the way you want your bias to.

Muslins have always condemned violence, but because it never fits the narrative, you'll keep saying we never do.

Not really mate... My ancestors suffered 400 years of systemic, rape, pillage, child slavery, theft and torture under the Ottoman empire ... 400 years and I love muslim people and have many Turkish friends.. Two wrongs NEVER make a right...

The Palestinians wanting their own slice of land to live peocefully si somethign I support 10000000000% , wanting to somehow "return the favour" against innocent women and children is vile.....

Again, I never said I agree with it, but if you can't understand how the systemic apartheid and oppression will breed hate, then you are justifying the genocide out of fear for "what if"

rubbish... its not "what if" its "when" .. The Ayatollah just released a fatwa against Natanyahu and Trump ... ffs is that a "what if"?
 
I put Natanyahu in the same pit as the Ayatollah and Hamas, Hesbollah and the idiots in Yemen mate.... no bias based on religion from me.
So when do we stop Israel in its plan to wipe out the Palestinian people? That's the crux here. That is what we are witnessing, and the western world is complicit in allowing it, funding it, supporting it, and fuelling the hatred towards Palestinian people and Muslims.

Because the man is murderous dictator. He is a killer. He has a warrant out for his arrest. He should be rotting in a prison cell. Yet he is welcomed like a hero, and supported and funded by western governments across the globe. Shock horror that someone stood up and is demanding justice for the crimes a person has committed.

You are conflicting two issues here my friend... Inshallah it stops today!!!!!!! Doesnt mean we should be hoping for Hamas to be the power that fills the vacuum if it does.... Poor mums and dads just wanna raise their kids without fear.... on both sides of the barbed wire.

Bit of a difference between rotting in a prison cell and free range anyone can chop off his head and will instantly get credit in the afterlife... c'mon, surely you can see this?
 
Originally Hamas was founded in the early days of the first Intifada uprising in 1987, founded to liberate Palestine. An offshoot of the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood.

But one of the problem's with the modern Hamas is that most of their current members are not even ethnic Palestinians. They are Johnny come lately's who were hoofed out of other Sunni terror groups like ISIS, Jamaat Nusrat Al-Islam wal Muslimeen and Al-Shabaab when those groups were defeated ot drummed down in their particular terrorist operations.

They have drifted into Gaza because there was nowhere else for them to go. Their goal isnt so much the liberation of Palestine but to kill Jewish people. This is first and foremost in their ambitions.

My criticism has never been with the 2 million or so Palestinians but with the 50,000 members of Hamas. Well 25,000 now.....

When did I advocate for Hamas to be in power? I simply said, as long as the genocide and systemic apartheid continues, you will always have violent resistance.

Honestly, after the brutality that man has inflicted on generations of people, i don't blame those people for having such vitriolic hate of him. If the world acted right and arrested him instead of supporting him and giving him free range to continue doing what he does, then maybe they wouldn't issue that fatwa.

I'm not saying I support it, but I understand their hurt..
