      Remarkable Gish Gallop here, a whole string of ahistorical nonsense. To cite one example, what’s Israel’s equivalent of the Marshall Plan, then?

      (E: word order)

          Giddyup! The way Israel treats Palestine is more akin to the way the League of Nations treated Germany under the Treaty of Versailles, and look how that turned out. But, okay, for the sake of argument, if Hamas surrendered unconditionally, what’s Israel’s Marshall Plan?

      Gish gallop.

      Bottom line: Israel is a genocidal regime. Women, children, aid workers, reporters, Israel kills them all. The regime needs stopping. Now.

      That’s bullshit. When the cities were bombed they rallied behind Hitler. just like the British rallied behind Churchill, and the Vietnamese rallied behind Ho Chi Minh.

      It’s literally in the textbooks now that you cannot bomb an ideology. Has been since 1975.

      This is not a serious comment, whether you meant it as one or not.

      Great evidence for “go ahead and block this user” right here.

      It’s almost a year now, isn’t it time for Palestinians to start admitting that Hamas is bad for them?

      Prior to the war, the majority of Gazans did not support Hamas. Because they are extremists who are bad at governing and bad at being nice and sane neighbours.

      This did not help them much once the war started. Now Hamas has widespread support, because they are extremists who are good at fighting off a foreign invader that is in the process of blowing them and their families up.

      All we see is support for Hamas or excuses for their actions. Or just looking the other way. Can anyone point to any real protest against Hamas by Palestinians? I can understand people living in Gaza and the West Bank may be too afraid to speak out against Hamas, but people who have left the country? Where are the Palestinian voices denouncing Hamas?

      They exist, but they are not likely to be particularly vocal about it. Even if a Palestinian does not like Hamas and their actions, from their perspective, Hamas is still on the side of the Palestinians, fighting against an even worse aggressor - one that is in the midst of a geocidal campaign against their people. It’s like expecting an Israeli citizen to stand up and condemn the IDF and Israeli apartheid while the Oct 7 attacks were ongoing. There are plenty in Israel who do so. But in the middle of a massacre is not a likely timing for it.
