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.

    What specifically in this wall of text is a direct response to what I said?

      All you said was complete stupidity. 19 years of rule under Hamas only produced terrorist tunnels?

      All of that is a direct response to 30+ years of Israeli genocide.

        Building tunnels as the sole piece of infrastructure for your people is the sole response to a 30 year genocide?

        I don’t think that is true, and I don’t believe you think that is true either. It sounded good when you said it though, and I’m sure it felt even better.

          the only thing they built for the Palestinian people has been tunnels to commit terrorism from.

          I wasn’t the one who said that tunnels were the only thing they have done, that was literally you. But it’s also irrelevant because I wouldn’t expect any infrastructure works to be prioritised when a small country is under attack.

          When the IRA demanded their land back, we were allowed to agree with their cause of no occupation without saying that their tactics of bombing trains was a good thing.

          When the LTTE violently attacked Sri Lanka, people were allowed to feel for the ongoing Tamil persecution, without agreeing to the murdering.

          Why can’t I say that Hamas is a product of its environment, caused by the pain that Israel creates while also saying that the actions of Hamas are terrible.

            The money never made its way to the Palestinian people, is the point.

            Where did it go?
