EVERYBODY in this thread has stated Hamas needs to wiped out. Some just believe that Israel has a different agenda and sees Hamas as a useful enemy to garner support for continual oppression of the Palestinians, continual land grabs in Palestinian areas, and a constant state of fear to keep Israeli citizens under the thumb of an oppressive RW regime. Yes, we need to eliminate Hamas, but we also need to eliminate the elements within the Israeli government that foment non-stop war and oppression against the innocent.
It’d be nice if people started quoting the position they’re arguing against when they argue things like “Hamas is a terrorist organization” or “Hamas needs to be wiped out.” This has been happening since the beginning of the thread, so I doubt it stops any time soon, but it has been happening by everyone so I have to assume anyone still bringing it up is doing it for the purposes of virtue signalling to everyone else that they too, in fact, oppose terrorism (congratulations).

That, or people are so desperate to avoid the civilian conversation that they resort to re-stating general truths about Hamas ad nauseam as a means of having to address the idea of Israel wiping out thousands of children and whether they need to kill quite so many.
