Just because one side is committing genocide doesn’t excuse the other side’s genocidal intent. Genocide is wrong on both sides, and saying more power should be given to one genocidal organization because it’s currently the one losing is an asinine take.
You never called people to boycott Israel; you never asked your trashy country to stop supporting Israel with diplomatic cover; you keep voting for trashy politicians supporting the genocide. You are just a hypocrite, that’s all. Your country is hosting a war criminal who said there are no innocent Palestinians, and you have the audacity to claim that you oppose genocide and occupation; you do not; you are a hypocrite. All talk, no action.
The slogan in question in this post isn’t a Palestinian Authority slogan. It’s a slogan Hamas uses to advocate for ethnic cleansing. Stop deflecting.
The slogan in question is a call for a one-state solution with equal rights. Just because Hamas uses it with an ulterior motive does not mean nobody can use it. You are using the same rhetoric as authoritarian regimes; for example, Mali recently arrested an opponent for saying the words “by all means necessary.” There are people who, when they say that, really mean all means necessary including terrorism, but it is not enough to ban those words.
That’s the idea with the two-state solution favored by the UN, but having an idea and actually implementing it are two different things. It’s much more geopolitically complex than simply “the west should play kingmaker and then the PA can destroy Hamas.” Hamas is entrenched in the governance of Gaza, and they won’t hand over the reins to PA peacefully.
The UN has stated that Israel should unconditionally end the occupation. Your rhetoric is that it is too complex, so let’s do nothing except keep selling weapons to Israel and do business with them like usual. You are just a hypocrite who supports occupation and genocide.
You would have used the same excuse during apartheid South Africa. You would have talked about how the ANC wanted to exterminate white people because they committed some acts of terrorism, and you would have defended crushing anti-apartheid protests and been silent about your trashy country backing up the supremacist regime.
You think Hamas can survive with no popular support because the occupation would end and the whole West would back the PA with money and arms. Or are you one of those racists who think most Palestinians support genociding Israelis?
Strawman. “Anyone who doesn’t support hamas is a zionist.” Yawn.
Not true. I do not consider anybody who opposes Hamas a Zionist.
Anybody who says Zionists who came from Europe had the right to force a state on the local people which included Palestinian Jews and then ethnically cleansed them are themselves Zionists.

You’re making a lot of fucking assumptions about me, including what I have or haven’t done, what I do or don’t support, what opinions I hold, and even what country I’m from. It’s all so you can set up some convenient strawman arguments that you can shoot down, by putting words in my mouth and claiming I said things that I didn’t say. So I’m not going to take you seriously.
I said I support the UN’s position, but that there’s a difference between stating what should be done and actually implementing it. If it wasn’t complex, the problem would already be solved. I never said we should do nothing and keep selling weapons to israel. Strawman.
I said Hamas supports genociding israelis, and I also said Hamas holds de facto power in Gaza. Both of which are true statements. I’ve also said that I can discern between Hamas and Palestinians, which you apparently can’t, so by your own logic you’re the one who’s racist and you’re making accusations in a mirror.

Everybody history is public. There is no assumptions. All you do is to pretend to oppose occupation while only attacking anti occupation people.
Again I said the solution is complex but logical . You couldn’t give a single valid argument besides racism and antisemitism.
The UN position is unconditional ending of the occupation.
I am the one who say that Palestinians and Israelis can live together at some point while I acknowledge it will take time and won’t be easy. You are the one who said they can’t live together so the racist and antisemite is you .
Can you answers those questions ?
Do you agree that the occupiers and occupied do not hold the same level of responsibility?
Do you support Palestinians right to return to israel if they want to in case it is the two state solution is the one they succeed?
Do you support Palestinians right to all the recognized Palestinians areas? Which is all Gaza, all the west bank and all east Jerusalem?
Does an independent Palestinian state has the right to an army to defend itself?
Did you vote for people who support unconditional end of settler colonialism done by Israel, support bans of all arms on Israel and sanctions on the state of Israel itself not just one or two ministers and 1 or 2 settler terrorists?

All you’re doing is moving goalposts, twisting the things I’ve said, and pretending you’re the one being rational. Calling me racist and anti-semitic isn’t going to change the complexity of the situation, and trying to force your overly simplistic solutions is only going to complicate things further.
There’s no point answering any questions you ask if you’re only going to take everything I say in the most uncharitable light because you’re allergic to nuance. I’m done with you.

You avoid those questions because you are a hypocrite claiming to be against genocide and occupation while denying every single palestinian right
