I can’t believe I had to see someone saying “it’s all the fault of Hamas, if it wasn’t for them Israelis and Palestinians would be living together in peace” with my own eyes.
1st of all, lets put aside the fact that Hamas was created because of Israel to the side for a moment. Hamas was only fully elected in 2007 and even if I wanted to be generous and include the year they were founded (even if back then they didn’t have any real power) as a starting point, then the earliest date would be 1988.
2nd of all, the Nakba/Palestinian exodus, where 700,000 Palestinians (half of the Palestinian population back then) were ethnically cleansed and expelled from Palestine through a series of massacres done by Israelis has happened in 1947/1948, 60 whole years before Hamas raised to power and 40 years before they were even founded.
3rd of all, Hamas only semi-control Gaza, they have no authority in the West Bank where Palestinians are in no shape or form living “peacefully,” but instead are living in complete apartheid and are still getting ethnically cleansed and brutalized like their ancestors.
So even if every single member of Hamas has vanished from the face of Earth today, nothing will change. Israel will still continue to ethnically cleanse, torture, kill and humiliate Palestinians, just like they did for the 6 decades straight before Hamas had any powers. The issue here isn’t Hamas or any other type of current Palestinian semi-authority (and I say semi because they will never have full authority while living under an occupation), the issue here is the apartheid settler-colony called Israel that will continue committing war crimes against international laws no matter who Palestinians have as a semi-authority
