Hamas' threat to destroy Israel, as stated in the Hamas charter, is not just empty words. Israel is fighting to prevent Hamas' making good on its vow to inflict 1,000 October 7's on Israelis. Israel is correct in working to remove Hamas from power, demilitarize Gaza, and deradicalize the Gazans who, like all Palestinians, have been fed anti-Jewish rhetoric for generations and have grown up seeing people honored and rewarded for killing Jews.
The truth isn't Hasbara. The Hamas Charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the Palestinian Authority's president says the PA's sole financial obligation is keeping the Martyrs' Fund solvent. That's the fund that pays lifelong stipends to Palestinians (and/or their families) when those Palestinians answer the PA's call for violent resistance to the "Occupation." The size of the stipend depends on how many Israelis are killed (more carnage brings more reward). Very tempting for people trapped in areas with severely underdeveloped economies.

Here is "the anti-Jewish rhetoric" they have "been fed." Other terms for this are "investigative journalism" and "historical documentation." https://cdn.bookey.app/files/pdf/book/en/goliath-by-max-blumenthal.pdf Reading Chapter 3 is enough to understand the situation. After the book hit the NYT Best Sellers list, the NYT refused to permit any reviews of the book to be published in their paper. Plenty of reviews are available on Amazon. The book is well-annotated and documented.
A Zionism that declares Jews should be as safe as those privileged in any nation is understandably worth supporting. A Zionism that advocates that Zionists are God's chosen people and as such have the right to exterminate all non-Jewish people nearby as a means to "keep Jews safe" is as lunatic as adopting the "religion" of the cargo plane worship tribe.
Political organizations that advocate for sadistic control over or extinction of any people should be outlawed under international law and global sanctions placed against any nation that the amoral sadistic organization manages to gain control over.
This is the insanity of loveless organized religion. It was devised to divide, not unify. Since the stated primary tenet of the three Abrahamic religions is supposed to be "universal human love", we see what humans do when we believe OUR version of this belief is superior to the others. The irony and hypocrisy are nauseating. Muslim terrorism is wrong. Netanyahu`s genocidal insanity is wrong. Trump's greed (for his plan to turn Gaza into another TRUMP paid resort) is wrong. They each thump their own Bible though, don't they?
Arabs comprise 20% of Israel's population. They have full civil rights. Jews and Arabs are treated in the same hospitals that are staffed by Jewish and Arab medical personnel. Palestinians drove Christian Arabs out of Bethlehem. Christian Arabs are flourishing in Israel. Arabs can bring suit against Jews in Israeli courts. Arabs also serve as judges on Israeli courts. Israel is not called for the deaths of all Arabs, but Hamas is calling for the deaths of all Jews (and working to achieve that genocide). Israel is trying its best to minimize casualties among non-combatants but (as certified by West Point's Major John Spencer) Israel's exemplary effforts are doomed to fail sometimes because Hamas has made hospitals, schools, businesses, residences into legitimate military targets by its placement of munitions, its firing missilles from school yards, its holding military planning meetings in hospital basements, ...
Hamas calling for the extinction of all Jews is genocide and it is evil. Netanyahu's retaliation against Palestinian civilians is wrong. Trump just plain is wrong in the head. Every side needs to stop pressing for justification while perpetrating all the wrongs they continue to commit. Live by it: die by it. No lasting peace is going to come out of current circumstances.
And, Toby Block - do you think Israel's attempt at wholesale genocide of Palestinians is going to ACCOMPLISH the irradication of extremist Muslim terrorism or exacerbate it?

In short, this s--t needs to stop.

You must be AI with tunnel vision.
