    To be fair, and I realize it’s difficult to be fair here:

    The Israeli government has said it is going for the total destruction of Hamas. Hamas has said it is going for the total destruction of the Israeli government… They’ve taken up equivalent positions

    I think what that really means, is both belligerents are going to try the radical new policy of killing more random civilians, and seeing if anything changes…

      No. Israel has said they are going for the total destruction of Hamas. Hamas is a government entity and the ruling government of Gaza.

      Hamas has said they are going for the total destruction of Israel the nation. Including all Jewish civilians. Not the government, all Jewish people in Israel.

      That’s been Hamas’ position for years. They want to eliminate all Jews from the region.

        Literally in the article that this post is about, they said they are trying to avoid civilians. It’s blatant fucking lie, but it’s what they’re saying.

        You just said that they’re going publicly, for the destruction of all Jewish people, that contradicts the article that we’re talking about here. If they’re stated goal is the death of Jewish people, why would they try to avoid Jewish casualties, why would they say that? If it’s in their charter shouldn’t they reinforce it when they’re talking in public?

        If we’re pulling in outside sources. https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide

          Yeah… so… after them killing over 1200 Israelis, the vast majority of them civilians, everyone they could get their hands on basically, I kinda don’t trust them.

              If that utter nonsense was true there would be 100x as many dead.
