    Let me ask you something. If Hamas was hiding themselves amongst the Israeli population, would the IDF tactics be the same?

        It’s not a big if it’s a simple question. “Would Isreal be bombing so indiscriminately and so heavily if that ment thirty thousand Israelis would die as a result?” we all know the answer, its obvious eradication of the Palestinian people is the only goal here. Additionally no Israel leader has explained what happens after they destroy Hamas. Then what? Will Palestine be granted self determination? Will Palestine be recognized by the internal community? Will the apartheid state be abolished? If the answer is no to any of those, then we will just be back to another Hamas like terrorists organization getting control.

            That’s basically proof of genocide. They want to control everything and kick out all the Palestinians.

                How else do you do it? You can’t just occupy a populace forever. It doesn’t work without sharing equal rights. There will always be attacks, whether it’s from Hamas, IRA, Black Panthers or Weather Underground, ANC, the Jewish ghetto uprisings or slave revolts, oppression always leads to fighting back. It’s either use diplomacy to share human rights in one state, grant sovereignty through setting up a second state, or genocide. Even if they “kill Hamas” all these orphans and widows are just going to grow up to start another group. It might even be called Hamas.

                    I don’t think they had as much of a colonizer-colonized relationship or were oppressed as long. The Allied forces left those places in less than 10 years because they just wanted a military victory. They weren’t trying to occupy territory where people already live and then oppress them, but that’s what those other societies I mentioned did. Also, I hope you’re not arguing that they should be oppressing Palestinians forever =(. That’s not great.
