completely ignore that hamas did October 7, continued to shoot missiles into Israel the day after October 7 even before Israel retaliated, along with Hezbolah's constant missiles into Northern Israel, and always cry fowl after hamas started the damn mess, and even now refuse to release the hostages, and surrender.

Hamas, the murders of Sadat through the Muslim brotherhood from where they came, is using Palestinian civilians as their pawns, and there is hardly a critical word sent against hamas throughout this whole ordeal. Including immediately after October 7, when some wonderful professors at prestigious universities actually applauded what hamas did.

Of course slaughters in Hama, Syria, Sudan, etc., are not even a footnote among some, who conveniently use the excuse that it is because the supports Israel, while ignoring the fact that hamas charter has called for the complete destruction of Israel.

You want the war to end, tell hamas to release all the hostages unconditionally, and dismantle.

Those anti-Israeli protesters who refused to vote for VP Harris let's see how things work out with trump, based on their foolishness.
