Not saying there aren't concerns (Hamas has always been pretty okay with violence against civilians, not looking for coexistence, etc), but part of the reason they're in power is because of how disliked Israeli policies towards Palestinians are there and that no one seems to be doing much about it. (Also, egypt and jordan really DO NOT want palestinian refugees, and Iran likes using them, but doesn't actually care about them).

the cause/effect chain goes all the way back to the founding. it's interconnected and messy.

A prison state? Complete nonsense.

Palestinian chose Hamas…a jihadist death cult style Islamist trash over the secular option back in the 2000s

Super corrupt in the Middle East? I can’t believe it. Corrupt like this: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/g...ome-rcna121099

“Gaza is plagued by poverty, but Hamas has no shortage of cash. Where does it come from?
Hamas has an investment portfolio of real estate and other assets worth $500 million, say experts, and an annual military budget of as much as $350 million.“

Hamas being eradicated would serve the people in Palestinians and Israel.

Yet again Biden administration has failed in the Middle East. Their policy with Iran is the foundation of the terrorist attack and now the on going war. This is almost as bad as the Obama administration
