    Because they’re not going to do that. You can’t call them terrorists and expect logical reasonable action or reaction.

    The Palestinian people by in large did not vote Hamas in, over 50% of the people in Gaza were not alive during the last election.

      Excuse the tangent but you made me look it up. >50% of Americans weren’t eligible to vote in 2000 but apparently I need to answer for the Iraq War for the rest of my friggin’ life like that was my personal decision.

      So we shouldn’t call them terrorists and hope they stop killing people? I’m sorry that doesn’t make any sense. Israel isn’t about to stop their war on Hamas, yet it doesn’t stop the world criticising them.

      The Palestinian people by and large did not vote Hamas in, over 50% of the people in Gaza were not alive during the last election.

      While technically true, almost 70% of Gazans support armed attacks on Israeli civilians.](https://pcpsr.org/sites/default/files/Poll 89 English Full Text September 2023.pdf) I know it doesn’t fit the oppressor/oppressed narrative, but the vast majority of people in Gaza support what Hamas is doing. If elections were held today, according to that same poll, they would vote Hamas back in.

        It doesn’t make sense no, it’s also not at all what I said but neat projection.

        That’s an opinion poll for a population that generally do not answer and those that do answer have to think about how that might get out and what extremists might do about that.

        Ed sample population sub 2000… Jesus dude did you vet this at all lol.

      Hamas is a jihadist organization though…

      If they don’t represent the majority maybe they should hold elections and let a party that represents the majority take the lead?

      I don’t see why this matters at all when Hamas wont allow elections and is an authoritarian government.
