    Just out of curiosity what did they say in 2005? or 2018? Or did you want to perpetuate the idea that once someone is radicalized there can never be peace? It sure does make the world simpler, but the bloodshed never ends that way. And that’s abhorrent in and of itself. Hamas absolutely became more moderate and had Israel assassinate their leadership and blockade Gaza in response. Since then Israel has assassinated several doctors and teachers under your idea that anyone associating with Hamas is a horrible no good person. This along with the blockade has made it impossible for Hamas to govern responsibly, and they are in fact acts of war.

      I firmly believe everyone even emotionally aligning with Hamas has some very serious issues. I never condoned the killing of any civilian, and never will.

      Disgust with Hamas’s atrocities does not imply that I support the deaths of civilians in any way.

      Hamas has no interest in governing responsibly.

        Sure you can believe that because you’ve spent 3 decades ignoring what they’ve actually said and instead listened to likuud propaganda.
