    Here The term Israel is vague. It’s often used as both the government, the Jewish people, and the religion.

    I don’t presume to speak for Hamas when they’re talking about the destruction of Israel. But if we take the two parts of the article together, that a Hamas spokesperson says they’re not targeting civilians, and they want to end Israel. That at least at a PR level doesn’t sound like the death of the Jewish people. So if we take those two statements quoted from Hamas in the article at face value, that would imply that in that context they’re talking about the end of the Israeli government. Which is equivalent to what the Israeli government wants, the end of Hamas government. Which is my entire point

    I don’t want that to happen, and I don’t support Hamas I feel like I have to say that again.

      I’m done arguing with you. Hamas verbatim said they will conduct the same attacks on civilians. The attack on October 7th was entirely civilians and Hamas said they will do exactly the same thing over and over again.

      The term Israel is not vague at all. They want to kill every non Muslim. They have said and done this repeatedly. When they took over Gaza by violent coup in 2007 they started murdering al news and Christians in the Gaza Strip.

      Hamas wasn’t elected. They just executed the elected government in Gaza and started killing civilians to secure their rule.

      But go on and defend them.

        Didn’t meet and cause you distress, I apologize

        For what it’s worth I’m opposed to all fascist militarized theocracies hell-bent on ethnic cleansing. That means I am anti-Hamas 100%.

          My dude/dudette you don’t even know what fascist means. Yeah it’s the “new” term but nothing about Hamas fits it. Fascism is an ultranationalist ideology where national identity and national position matters over everything.

          Hamas doesn’t believe in nationality in general. They believe in an Islamic caliphate that will rule over all humanity. Nationality doesn’t mean fuck. They don’t believe nations even exist as a concept.

          Both are right wing but not related beyond that.
