    No they murdered people because they were being murdered and wanted the murdering to stop. And since murdering Palestinians was fine some of them figured they could do the same thing since apparently it’s fine if the israelis do it.

    And since we all collectively decided to ignore the peaceful march to return in 2018 Hamas had to come to the conclusion at some point that we do not care about people that ask nicely.

    It must be difficult to comprehend but one side is fighting to achieve peace. The other side is fighting to eradicate all the Palestinians and steal their land.

    This is very clearly reflected in Hamas consistently trying to achieve a ceasefire and israel doing the exact opposite.

      Why do you claim Hamas is “fighting to achieve peace”? Which of their actions seem to indicate this?

        The one where they instantly offer a ceasefire in exchange for all Palestinian hostages.

            Because israel was holding Palestinian hostages and turned Gaza into an open air concentration camp and that’s not very cool. And israel keeps terrorizing their mosque which is very Islamophobic.

            So Hamas asked israel to stop nicely in 2018 with the march to return and israel held a Palestinian kneecap shooting competition.

            Israel decided that they don’t listen to people that ask nicely. Now we’re here.

              So what’s changed since Oct 7? Was Hamas able to achieve peace and remove the concentration camp conditions or has it worsened?

                Yes it’s looking like Hamas is going to achieve those objectives.

                Sadly because israel is a Nazi state, it’s like fighting against the Nazis. People die when you fight against the Nazis.

                  So, just to circle back to og question: Palestine (or what’s left of it) is on track to no longer be a concentration camp and hostages are being released? The conditions for palestinians have improved since Oct 7?

                    Did living conditions improve for people while they were fighting against the Nazis?

                    It must be difficult to understand but sometimes thing have to get worse before they get better.

      wanted the murdering to stop

      How’d that work out

      If they were killing Israelis in some way that would lead to better outcomes for the Palestinian people, I’d say that’d be pretty well justified at this point, for more or less exactly the reasons you said. That’s pretty fuckin far from what they did though.

        They certainly did heavily target military bases with a >33% military casualty rate.

        As with any armed resistance you get some people that are less educated and more vengeful. Locking people in a concentration camp for 20 years doesn’t do wonders for their mental.

        Also it’s working out pretty well for them because as the popular saying goes: The guerilla wins if it does not lose. And Hamas is not losing right now.

        People seem to heavily underestimate how bad the living conditions in Gaza were. There was less bombing 1 year ago but they were certainly still dying from diseases and were malnourished.
