WASHINGTON, D.C. – After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.

      You’re number 1. “Military actions against Hamas and their supporters but not Palestinians” don’t exist in Gaza.

              Israel has had a permanent occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories since 1967, maintaining an apartheid state through direct and indirect violence.

              Hamas began twenty years into the occupation during the first Intifada, with the goal of ending the occupation.

              Collective punishment has been a deliberate Israeli tactic for decades with the Dahiya doctrine. Violence such as suicide bombings and rockets escalated in response to Israeli enforcement of the occupation and apartheid.

              Hamas 1988 Charter and Revised 2017 Charter

              The 1988 Charter, which is certainly unreasonable in its fundamentalism with Sharia Law and is antisemitic, does not call for the extermination of all Jewish People. The 2017 Revised charter accepts a Two-State Solution of the 1967 Borders. Check Article 7 and 13 of the 1988 Charter to see yourself, compare it to Article 20 and 24-26 in the revised charter

                you are aware,despite their charter saying what is it they represent and do,the reality is they do what they have always wanted,genocide,from the river to the sea,even that statement remains in their 2017 revised charter.

                i had to go read through your links,while some does provide insights to the conflict, i get the nagging feeling here you are trying to villify israel while painting hamas as a victim of circumstances. this is a typical propaganda tactic employed by…hamas and their supporters (surprising,i know).

                if you find israel’s punishment of innocent palestians for hama’s actions indiscriminate,maybe trying calling out hamas for their indiscriminate terror attacks on israel.

                an eye for an eye makes the world go blind,israel isn’t the good guys here and neither is hamas.
