IDF and Hamas, sitting in a tree, killing all of each other for...god?
For land. The settlers want the land.
They’re fighting for the only part of the middle east that doesn’t have oil.
So do the millions who don't meet the UNHRC definition of refugees. That's why there's a special definition of refugee that doesn't apply to anyone else anywhere in the world.
Israel helped create UNRWA to manage the Palestinian refugees instead of having them fall under the jurisdiction of UNHCR as a way to deny Palestinian refugees right of return.

Okay Hamas did a lot of bad stuff, but let's not put them at the same level as the IDF here.
The IDF are currently committing a genocide. Hamas hasn't done anything comparable in their lifetime.
Just because Israel is genociding doesn't mean Hamas is any less of a terrorist organization.
Two things can be true at once. don't hurt yourself absorbing that.
The term terrorist organization just means "The US doesn't like this guy". Most of their actions are retaliation against Israeli aggression. Not saying they didn't do horrible stuff, but the term terrorist is meaningless now.
I'll give it to you, the US indeed doesn't like having passenger jets flown into buildings or ied trucks driven under buildings (nobody does you dingbat).
I guess that's why the term terrorism exists. They weren't there on 911 to rob the trade centers or bargain for prisoners or do anything other than to cause terror.
Words have meaning, even if you don't know what it is. You can deny it but you don't control the way people use words.
Uh... That's one thing, but for example Nelson Mandela was designated as a terrorist until 2008. It's a meaningless term (or I guess more accurately a meaningless designation) that happens to include some really bad people. I'm pretty sure I don't need to say that someone's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.
Who designated nelson Mandela a terrorist? Reagan right? Low hanging fruit. That guy was a fucking cancer on the planet.
How many US presidents weren't cancer on the planet?
