"It is hard to make peace when one side is hell-bent on mass murder."
Is this referring to the Hamas Charter? Suspect it is a typo and you meant to say both sides.

- bjoli 1y agoI can name four high ranking Hamas officials that were assassinated by Israel after proposing truces where they accept Israel as a nation. Yassin. Jabari. al-Rantisi. The latest one is Haniyeh who opened up for a long term truce with Israel AND recognizing Israel as a state. These are just the people from the top of my head. They were all killed within months of proposing long term truces with Israel. Not nice people, but still people with power to make a change. Israel has shown again and again that negotiation should be done by force.
- buyucu 1y agoWhat did you expect? Israel has been expanding more and more into Palestine, murdering and displacing Palestinians who live there. Did you really think nobody would fight back?
- insane_dreamer 1y agoIsrael has been killing Palestinians, expelling them from their homes, and oppressing them for decades before Hamas even existed. "Both sides" is like saying the Native Americans were at fault for resisting the European Colonists' (ultimately successful) efforts to take their land and exterminate them.
