Hamas needs to be removed like a tumor, if the world doesn't want Israel to do it, then another Arab nation or world coalition needs to go in and deal with them. They can't be allowed to stay. The only way any positive can come is if both nations get new, younger leaders who want to coexist

Those Arab nations are largely supportive of Hamas. More because they are anti-Israel than they are pro-Hamas.

Those Arab nations also hate and look down on Palestinians, so their fake support for Palestine is more about being anti Israel like you said.

Hamas needs to be removed, yes, but they're not a tumor; they're a virus. To quote Bassem Youssef, you don't cure a virus by hitting the patient with a sledgehammer.

Hamas was elected though, and the mass majority of Palestinians support them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

in 2006. Half the population of Gaza wasnt born when Hamas was elected.

Israels, Hamas and PA have blocked elections in both Gaza and the West Bank ever since.

So Palestinians have two choices, either to support a political party that mostly complies with what Israel wants and doesn't protest to loudly the oppression or another more rebellious faction. I perfectly understand why a lot of people out of desperation support Hamas, but the core issue here is the military and economic oppression that Israel is exercising over Gaza, if this ceased then automatically Hamas would lose a lot of its supporters.

Same with Bibi, if there is no Hamas, people won't vote for him.

You know what? Coincidentally, there was a fresh poll done regarding that ending Ocober 6th. You can't get numbers which are any fresher. Have a read.
