    Hamas fighters

    They’re terrorists. Hamas is the richest terrorist organization in the world. Their headquarters are in Qatar, which pulls the strings and spreading hate against Jewish people (not just Israel). Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself. One of Hamas’ goals is to exterminate the Jewish people all over the world!

    They don’t give a shit about Palestinian people. It’s not about that at all.

      As far as I know their biggest backers are Iran. Is that not still the case? Legitimate question here.

      I think “exterminating Jewish people all over the world” is hyperbolic, but their original 1988 charter does specifically call for the complete destruction of the Israeli state and the formation of Palestine via holy war. It’s 100% an anti-semitic document, and debatably genocidal. An attempt to kill an ethnic group doesn’t need to be world-wide to be genocidal.

      Their new 2017 charter is fair bit more moderate, and calls for the 1967 borders. Whether the new document is about PR or if they’ve actually become more moderate is a question that is being answered by their treatment of civilians now, imho.

        Iran also backs Hamas and other terror organizations in the middle east. But it’s not possible to ignore that Qatar gives them shelter. Everybody knows about the Iranian government, but Qatar is not mentioned enough in these cases. I only saw posts about Qatar’s inner stuff, and it was mostly because they hosted the soccer events recently.
