Once again, ISRAEL is a "democracy" (I'm not even going to get into the differences between a democracy and an ethnocracy) and "HAMAS" is a dictatorship.

You simply cannot help yourself.

And what? You're saying with a straight face that if Hamas weren't in power, Israel would have dealt fairly and sincerely with the Palestinians? Jesus. Do I even need to point to the West Bank as evidence of how preposterous this is? Do the people living in the West Bank right now, who had nothing to do with October 7th, have the "luxury" of not being involved in the ongoing theft of theior land and destruction of their homes????

(Also, to be clear, you haven’t cited any statistics. You’ve written some numbers with no source, either because they’re made up entirely, or more likely because you know a full reading of the source would demolish the case you’re trying to make.)

Israel could have chosen not to fight at any point during the 75 years prior to October 7th. They could have come to negotiations in good faith and pursued a just peace. Rabin tried that and they killed him for it.

Israel could have declined to fund Hamas when they were just a few fanatics with no political or meaningful military power. They could have put the security of their citizens above their desire to prevent a two-state solution. Again, Netanyahu chose to fund the terrorists literally killing Israelis in real time rather than seek a peaceful resolution.

And, of course, the Zionists could have chosen not to use terrorism to establish a brutal colonialist state in the first place. They could have, even after they'd done that, abandoned their expantionist agenda and respected the 1967 borders as every country on Earth expect for the US and Micronesia is pleading with them to do.

Any of these options would have averted October 7th and the horrors that followed.

God, why am I wasting my time talking to you about this? Again, you are committed to making excuses for a racist, genocidal society that continues to kill Palestinains even now after the ceasefire and you aren't stupid enough not to know it. I'm going to ignore any further replies here.
