    Hamas is founded on the principle that Jews should not exist. Yet you expect Israelis to invite the Palestinians over for coffee and hummus.

      Good job conflating Palestinians with Hamas. The only reason I might suspect it’s not intentional is that you did it with such a glaring lack of subtlety.

        It’s their government, and multiple polls show that most Palestinians support Hamas, so it’s not conflation. It’s realism.

      I guess Israel shouldnt have backed Hamas in order create an Islamist opposition to the secular Fatah and PLO huh?

      No it isn’t. Hamas was founded on the dissolution of Israel but they have no interest in killing Jewish people world wide. They’re not even necessarily interested in killing Jewish people in Israel. They just want the land back.

      The charter does use the word “Jewish” but scholars agree it is interpreted to mean the land and not the peoples

      And the second charter is in favor of a two state solution
