It's like the "kettle is calling the pot black". I was just responding in kind. If you don't like it, then don't do it.

Thanks, I googled on "nation state law ethnostate". I found articles on Nation-State law but didn't find the tie to ethnostate. The 3 principles are below. What's the issue with them and how does this tie it to an ethnostate? Is it any different from Palestinians "from River to Sea"?

1. It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.”
2. It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”
3. It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”

Hamas is like 20000-30000 people in a population of over 2 million people. It's barely 1% of residents.

And hence, why I provided the poll to show you Hamas and sympathizers are 72%+.

I'm sure people who have been locked in a prison and indiscriminately killed for years will side with anyone willing to help them fight for freedom. Did you expect Gaza residents to support Israel while they genocide them?

Okay, so we are at mano-v-mano. Like I said above, I'm good with it.

That's why this method of war is incredibly dumb and leads to blowback.

Yeah, I'm figuring Hamas is realizing no one is coming to help them.
