Yes, I noted that, but you said this:

"Peace is not and must not be an outcome that puts Israelis (Jews, Arabs, Druze, Bedouin, Christian) on an "even playing field" as you suggest, because the only game Hamas will ever play is the destruction of Israel."

See that little bit of linguistic sleight of hand?

The peace I'm talking about is peace between the Palestinian people and the Israeli people. You, and everybody who stands on your side, constantly make this about the Israeli people and Hamas. With the Palestinian people barely an afterthought. This, again, is what I mean by you not seeing the Palestinians as equal human beings.

Because it is no more useful to endlessly drag Hamas into that conversation than it is to drag Likud or Otzma Yehudit or the settlers. If you want to say that Hamas should have no part in any future talks, I understand where you're coming from. But only if you also recognise that this absolutely goes for Israel's government too.

Otherwise, we have to work with what we have.

You constantly overlook the fact that the extremists in the Israeli government are every bit as evil and genocidal as Hamas. And they don't have the excuse of radicalisation after 76 years of occupation and oppression.

But, of course, you prefer to ignore all that history and pretend this all started with Hamas on October 7th 2023, right? Just as long as we don't go back to the part where the Israeli government literally and philosophically created Hamas. Where the Israeli government funded them, even as they were blowing up Israeli citizens in terror attacks. We don't want to go back that far, right? We don't want to acknowledge what that says about the Israeli government.
