  • I won't add anything further, but please do reflect on whether 'fully removed' is the type of language or sentiment that you think can contribute to a just and lasting peace in the real world.

    You may notice I was talking about Hamas' stated goal, not my own, not something I endorse. Understanding that was kinda the whole point I was making.

    I think you're islamophic from your posts in this thread, always assuming the worst of the Palestinian people (who are majority Muslim but not entirely so, before you say it, the point still stands) and from even this "misunderstanding", as if an expression of understanding why Hamas exists and thinks the way they do is somehow in itself an anti-Israel statement. Someone should go tell anyone who wrote an analysis on how Hitler came to power that they're actually all Nazis themselves.

  • So to be clear - when you say that this is all Israel's fault and reject any attempt to apply even a little bit of nuance - that's not anti-semitic; but you think others are "assuming the worst of" the Palestinian people (which I don't think anyone has - they may have blamed Hamas though) and that's islamophobic?

    On the same logic as you use, you're anti-Semitic. I doubt that's actually true, but then I don't think the other posters are islamophobic either

  • You're conflating Israel and Judaism. Same questions to you, why does Hamas exist idealogically and practically? Look in to those and you may find your answer. If you don't think Hamas exists as a response to decade of oppression but instead as some sort of innate Islamic radicalism then I'm afraid you're dancing with islamophobia
