    Hamas appeared to commit genocide, to destroy Israel and kill the Jews. You should read their founding document. I have. Here’s an atlantic piece that’s a decent critique of it as well:

    As for the Oslo Accords, Arafat walked away and refused everything, I’m not sure what myths you’ve been reading about it. Palestinians have rejected two-state 5 times, including Abbas in 2008.

    At one point Israel agreed to 80% of Palestine mandate to be the Palestinian Arabs and 20% the Palestinian Jews, but in reality they were sure they could just genocide or deport all the jews so even that wasn’t enough.

      Arafat walked away from Camp David, I’m not sure what myths you’ve been reading about it.

      Israelis hated the outcome of Oslo so much they killed their own PM.

        A radical religious bastard killed the PM. Equating him with all Israel is the same as saying every person in Gaza is an active combatant. And though that’s ridiculous, it’s where your fallacy leads.

            Thank you for the Hamas talking point you regurgitated. Your number comes directly from Hamas and is a propaganda message you voluntarily spread for your ally.

            ~8500 of that number were active Hamas terrorist combatants, another ~1000 were other terrorist groups that operate in Gaza. But your omission is exactly what they seek with their propaganda that indoctrinates, radicalizes, and ultimately provides more terrorist recruits.

            EDIT: Oh and don’t forget about the hospital that Hamas hit with a rocket as they attempted a war-crime against Israel. Those victims are in that number too. ;)
