[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]Muslima, how would you recommend Israel eliminate Hamas (or at least eliminate their ability to attack Israeli civilians) without any adverse effect on Gaza's civilian population?[/quote]
Why do you think Hamas needs to be eliminated?[/quote]

Do you think it's okay that Jew-killing is an explicit part of Hamas's charter?

I'm a new poster here and am deeply conflicted. I am a Jew. I am absolutely NOT OKAY with killing civilians and children. Duh. But I also think that Palestinians are suffering for having elected a party that has as part of its platform [i]killing another ethnicity. [/i] Can we stop ignoring that? Can we stop pretending that Hamas wouldn't bomb the hell out of Israel if they could?

If Hamas explicitly disavowed violence towards Jews -- or heck, even just eliminated it from its charter -- I'd feel a lot more convinced that Israel  had another option. [/quote]

That's not true. Again, the more I'm on these boards,  the more I see how people are misinformed. Hamas denied that charter years ago, their leader came out and said that Hamas has grown from what they used to be and they don't want to kill Jews nor do they follow that charter any longer. Again, Hamas doesn't have a public charter at this time and hasn't had one for years. Their leader came out and said unless you hear it from their mouth it is not from them.  So please, stop quoting that charter that Hamas itself doesn't approve of. You can Google "current hamas charter" or anything related to see for yourself

The refrain that Israel has the right to self-defense is a red herring: the real question is, does Israel have the right to use force to maintain an illegal occupation? The answer is no.[/quote]
