it's nearly logistically impossible for hamas or palestinians in general to "genocide" israelis. they have no infrastructure, standing army, money, half the population of gaza are children, they have nothing.
palestinians have a right to defend themselves. israel does not.
I agree.
It is nearly logistically impossible for hamas or palestinians in general to "genocide" israelis.
And yet, here we are. Hamas has explicitly called for genocide, days after killing over 1k Israelis in a surprise attack.
Palestine has no infrastructure, standing army, money, half the population of gaza are children, they have nothing. And they continue to meet Israel's overwhelming military with pitched resistance.
Which begs the question: to what extent does Hamas manifest the will of the Palestinian people themselves, who have nothing? Instead of manifesting the will of the Palestinian people, to what extent does Hamas act to further interests of whatever external supporters they might have?
Moreover, what is the origin of this call to genocide made by Hamas leaders? Does it come from the Palestinian people themselves? I think that unlikely.
I think it far more likely that Hamas acts as the catspaw of other regional powers without any regard whatever for the lives of the Palestinian people for whom they purport to fight.
This is merely my opinion.
