I have a hard time holding individual people responsible for the actions of their government, especially when there have been no elections in fourteen years and your government will literally murder you if you speak out against them. Citizens who support Hamas I agree are getting what they asked for/support. But there's no way of discerning one from a person who does not, especially in this context. Consequently, I cannot agree with you.
But I feel like we agree. At least partially.
Sure, it could be fewer or it could be more. My point was not to quantify anything here. My point was to express that those who have supported or continue to support Hamas cannot complain about Israel's mistreatment of them when they themselves support those who wish to destroy Israel.
But i'm also going to argue here that simply because you call a place home does not grant you the right to live freely amongst those that wish to do evil to others and not be in the crosshairs of their conflict. You should flee from them or risk taking part in their destruction.
Don't agree with your government"s genocidal ideology? Then flee from them. Run for the hills and don't look back.
Im not saying that like its easy to pick up your family and leave everything. But its not any easier living in desolation.
Take your pick.
If your friends come to destroy me and fail, I will respond in kind with the intention of doing exactly what they intended to do to me. It's your choice to stick around.
