This is common sense. Too bad our leaders are senseless.
not really common sense since you still have hamas running around attacking both palestinians and israelis.
Yes hamas, which was formed due to Israel then later funded by Israeli government, is worse than the country currently genociding the Palestinians...
Why would they attack USA?
Funny Israel has killed more Americans than hamas will and nothing changed.
Hamas and their allies consider the U.S. as "Great Satan", basically their worst enemy. I doubt the punishment we gave to Al Qaeda is enough for them to step down.
So you mean iran will attack USA if Israel is gone? Man wonder who helped make them hate us, like all the coups.
Do you think we punished al qaeda? Plus really should have gone after the Saudis
This is a scary comment. The comment this was in response to indicated it was wrong to commit genocide on Palestinians. Instead of even making an attempt to redefine or minimize the genocide, this comment instead argued that the genocide would be functional. It is functional to commit genocide on Palestinian people to prevent "Hamas is coming after the US next." Nevermind that this doesn't even make sense to argue at all, just the fact that it was offered as a justification for genocide should create a moment of pause for anyone following along.
