Zionism is a political ideology. Palestinians is a group of people with individual opinions. Dont you think irs inappropriate to inflate them to all have the same opinion?

Ok, just the people of Gaza believe that the Jews should be exterminated from their land

What is the official position of the democratically elected leaders of Gaza?

The last election was 2006. 19 years ago. 50% of Gazans are below 19 years. There is no democratic will expression to hold Gazans accountable by. Until recently, it used to be a Hamas dictatorship. Now, Hamas was replaced by the IDF in this regard. Source: web.archive.org/web/20140608...

How did the world pressure Hamas into holding elections? I'm assuming that they shunned as a pariah state and received no funding and support from e.g the UN until they held them?

No, as soon as Hamas seized power (right extremists sponsored by Israel, as a counter to the left-wing PLO btw), Hamas suppressed all democratic movement. The UN or the world did not manage to pressure Hamas into holding elections. Therefore, Hamas does not have a mandate of representation of Gazans

'seized power' lol. You meant to say 'democratically elected into power by the people of Gaza'. They have the only legitimate mandate for the people of Gaza. Despite their actions since coming to power, the UN continued to send them billions in aid.

They have never been required to look after their own people as that has always been done by the UN and aid agencies. That has given them much more time to radicalise the population and commit acts of war

It's plausible to assume that without the aid, many people would've been much more miserable and more susceptible to recruitment by radicals. The decisive factor for recruitment is desperation, not free-time.

Hitler was democratically elected into power, too. Fine at first but it becomes a seize of power if an elected entity "closes the door behind them". That's what Hamas did. Half of Gazans never got the chance to vote and that's why Hamas does not have a legitimate mandate. UN aid is irrelevant

I'm not qualified to answer this. But the crimes conducted by the cabinet Netanyahu will radicalize the survivors. That's why they are doing their hardest to make sure there are as few survivors as possible.

The Palestinian groups are all militant. The people who call themselves 'Palestinians' are Arab nationalists. They are the same people as the 2 million Arabs who are the citizens of Israel. The only difference between Palestinian groups and Israeli Arabs is that the former want to kill the Jews.

Yes, because terrorists in Israel tend to be Palestinians. Thats criminal and terrible. What do kids in Gaza have to do with this? Why do they have to pay for the crimes of people of the same ethnicity? Holding a whole ethnicity accountable for something is straight-up Nazi ideology.

Kids in Gaza have the same to do with it as the 1 million German and 250k Hungarian civilians who were killed during WW2 bombings and urban combat. That's why you shouldn't start wars. Your children will die in bombings and urban combat.

The kids in Gaza aren't accidental victims. The IDF goes out of their way to terrorize the kids and starve them to death. The way that Israel is handling this conflict will make the remaining kids grow up hating Israel and seeing no other way to live but fight back. This is not the way.

The vast majority of the civilian dead in Gaza died in airstrikes. This is already them fighting back. That's how this war started, Hamas fighting back. The children used for stabbing attacks are 'fighting back'. They already doing it, this is how it looks like.

The reason why it's a war crime to use children in war, or to fight the war in civilian clothing (like how Hamas does it) because if you do that, the enemy will not look at uniformed soldiers as a threat, they look at people wearing civilian clothing and kids as a threat.

Timothy Barton @timothy-barton.bsky.social

So, if you use children for fight, the enemy troops will start seeing children as potential combatant. That leads to children getting killed. If a soldier thinks kids might stab them, they'll be much more likely to shoot children. That's why Hamas is doing it. They use children and blame the Jews.

"Palestinian" is a people group mostly present in modern-day Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. It's a term comparable to other ethnic descriptors like "Israeli", "Turk", "English", "Japanese", "German", "Russian" and so forth. Are you playing dumb to make me trip up or are you manipulated?

They started calling themselves 'Palestinians' in the 1960's, before that, they were Arabs. They are still Arabs speaking Arabic, their language. The nations you listed are all separate nations and cultures with their own languages.

Palestinians are Arabic, like Bavarians are German or the Welsh are British, sorta. They speak Arabic. Common language doesn't make Americans English now, does it? Doesn't matter anyhow, you're distracting from the topic. People shouldn't be exterminated for a factor they're born into.

Yeah, however it's not like the Americans have been referred as 'English' for over a thousand years, and suddenly started calling themselves 'Americans' in the 1960's. Google how that switch from Arab to Palestinian happened, it involves the KGB.

Okay, can we agree that "Palestinians" are the Arabic people that lived and live in the area historically referred to as Palestine? Why stumble upon this arbitrary ethnic definition? This is not an issue of blurry ethnic lines, it's a matter of killing innocents.

Again, Hamas started this war. Hamas is an organisation that had up to 80,000 members in Oct 23. Gaza Strip had around 2 Million people. Hamas is not the same as the people in Gaza. The people in Gaza did not start this war. You are inflating terminology.
