Because they're not going to do that. You can't call them terrorists and expect logical reasonable action or reaction.

The Palestinian people by in large did not vote Hamas in, over 50% of the people in Gaza were not alive during the last election.

Excuse the tangent but you made me look it up. >50% of Americans weren't eligible to vote in 2000 but apparently I need to answer for the Iraq War for the rest of my friggin' life like that was my personal decision.

So we shouldn’t call them terrorists and hope they stop killing people? I’m sorry that doesn’t make any sense. Israel isn’t about to stop their war on Hamas, yet it doesn’t stop the world criticising them.

The Palestinian people by and large did not vote Hamas in, over 50% of the people in Gaza were not alive during the last election.

While technically true, almost 70% of Gazans support armed attacks on Israeli civilians.](https://pcpsr.org/sites/default/files/Poll%2089%20English%20Full%20Text%20September%202023.pdf) I know it doesn’t fit the oppressor/oppressed narrative, but the vast majority of people in Gaza support what Hamas is doing. If elections were held today, according to that same poll, they would vote Hamas back in.

It doesn't make sense no, it's also not at all what I said but neat projection.

That's an opinion poll for a population that generally do not answer and those that do answer have to think about how that might get out and what extremists might do about that.

Ed sample population sub 2000.... Jesus dude did you vet this at all lol.

Hamas is a jihadist organization though...

If they don't represent the majority maybe they should hold elections and let a party that represents the majority take the lead?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Sure, and Israel is a Zionist nation what's your point.

Yes the terrorist organization is going to relinquish control... Yeah.

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

I don't see why this matters at all when Hamas wont allow elections and is an authoritarian government.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

That's quite literally the point.

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

It doesn't matter that they didn't vote for Hamas because it was not possible and will never be possible. Why is that the point?

To me, this seems exactly like the other guys point.

Are you paying attention to the conversation or a single comment you've chosen to take issue with?

Ah, there's the answer, you aren't paying attention.

Well this is like your 3rd comment that isnt clear why its relevant.

If you're just going to make impossible statements, then we might as well be discussing unicorns and leprechauns.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That sounds like a you problem bud, one and one is two of you're bad at math I can't help much.

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

I like how literally all your comments are irrelevant lol Nicely done mate 👍

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It couldn't be that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.... No ....

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

Can you explain why it matters that Gazans haven't voted for Hamas when there havent been elections and Hamas is a dictatorship?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Did you read the comment I linked.

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

This is typical of the bad faith, pro-Hamas people I've ran into on Lemmy. Outside of people like you, lemmy has been pretty enjoyable. Welcome to the block list.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm with Hamas, they're both doing shitty shit because they're both shitty. Simple as.
