A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    “tunnels to commit terrorism from” is hardly objective. Terrorism is what oppressors call fighting for one’s freedom, and Israel is invading territory which is not theirs, ergo, your comment appears to be cheering from the wrong side of history. The way your comment stands, it seems to end on a different sentiment than it starts off with.

      Before I engage with a blatantly Pro-Hamas statement, please first explain how Hamas is fighting for the freedom for Palestinians, including women and LGBTQ citizens.

      If unable, and you refuse to revise your Pro-Hamas stance, you will immediately be blocked.

          Unless you are responding under a different account, I am going to give the original commentator a chance to respond and revise his statement.

          Claiming that the modern political apparatus of Palestine are mere freedom fighters is a lie, and I will not engage with it.

            No, not same person.

            So in other words you’re a Zionist?

            GREAT! /s

            Every action has a equal and opposite action. Eg you attack civvies you create ‘terrorists’ aka Hama’s

            Israel created a problem that allows them to syphon money from other countries for committing genocide

              I believe both Jews and Palestinians deserve to live in their homeland. If that belief causes a few bad actors supporting Hamas to call me a Zionist as a slur, so be it.

                Yet your only concern has been for Isreal, the ones doing a genocide.

                Excuse us if we don’t believe you at all

                  You don’t know a thing about me or my beliefs and you have zero percent interest in knowing them. Pretending to have that knowledge is your goal here.

                    Pretty angry and defensive take when all I did was point out the behaviour you’ve had in this thread

            What does it matter if they have other political motives? The world is enabling their utter annihilation, children, babies, innocent people with no political ambition. That must be stopped before we wring our hands about what they might do with freedom. They are human beings, people with lives and families, not wild rabid animals.

              The world isn’t enabling a Palestinian annihilation. The world is working to resolve the conflict.

              You guys need to stop pretending that you are the only good people and everybody else is evil. That’s part of the issue here.

                  I am Canadian-American and haven’t met a single person who likes genocide.

                  Maybe you hang out with different kinds of people in different parts of the world.

                    I guess you haven’t met the defense contrators, weapons manufacturers and politicians who are rich because of wars and genocide. I haven’t personally met many of them either, average people don’t associate with those types.
