Suprising how numb we all are to countries saying they will make an entire population suffer rather than talking about fighting the military. We are just one or two layers away from countries saying "we'll kill all the babies till they regret even thinking about looking at us sideways"

We're there. Netanyahu referenced Amalek in his war speech, a story where god commanded the Jews to kill every last infant of an enemy nation. The deputy speaker in parliament explicitly said there are no innocent civilians in Gaza and it must be wiped off the face of the earth.

I believe if Israel is going to actively commit crimes against humanity and simultaneously threaten other populations' existence, then Israel itself has no inherent right to exist like the apologists claim

I have news for you then! They're already doing it

Israel needs to be taken down by Jews. The rot is quite deep.

That's probably the only way they can save themselves.

Tragically Palestinians doing the same to Hamas is also needed - the odds of both peoples doing that together must be near zero

Hamas is a legitimate resistance group exercising their legitimate, legal right under international law to violently resist unlawful colonization, occupation, land-theft, and genocide. They have every right to exist, they have every right to use violence against settlers who should leave and give back the stolen land.

If you want more moderate types, know that the zionists intentionally crushed them and propped up Hamas to create just this kind of argument and by spouting it you're carrying water for them. Only the end of the occupation and the formation of a full Palestinian state will result in the breathing room for the creation of moderate groups and opinions.

You are absolutely correct. I was being intentionally simplistic due to the harsh edges of the morning
