just know my argument isn't against the Gazans. It's against those who attempt to exploit the people of Gaza, grooming them from adolescence to adulthood to become Iranian soldiers essentially.

It should be considered a crime against humanity, IMO.

You really are not knowledgeable about the Middle East at all, are you... The Palestinians, which includes Christians, are not being groomed to be Iranian soldiers... or even Palestinian soldiers.

According to Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian National Authority, "Hamas is funded by Iran".... Therefore, Hamas militants who fire rockets into Israel, are essentially working for Iran. Not sure why that's so hard to understand. And Hamas must continue firing rockets, or they will no longer recieve Iranian benefits.

Iran is their puppet-master.

As has been pointed out multiple times in this thread, it's disingenuous at best to equate all Palestinians with Hamas.

Sunni Muslims make up the predominant part of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip. Most of the inhabitants are Sunni Muslims, with an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 Arab Christians, making the region 99.8 percent Sunni Muslim and 0.2 percent Christian. [Wikipedia]

Which makes no difference unless s multinational coalition of armies intends to converge upon Iran and bring the guilty to court.

If only Hamas wasn't hostile to begin with, and had accepted the initial peace agreement by Israel and the Quartet on the Middle East...

"after Hamas won elections and formed the PA government in March 2006, led by Ismail Haniya, Israel and the Quartet on the Middle East set conditions before they would continued to provide aid to the PA or have any dialogue with any member of a Hamas-led PA government. These conditions were: recognition of Israel, disavowal of violent actions, and acceptance of previous agreements between Israel and the PA, including the Oslo Accords.[3] Hamas refused to accept these conditions and aid to the PA was stopped and sanctions against the PA imposed."​

...It seems like Hamas had recieved their charging orders before they ever took office. They were meant to terrorize Israel... It's their sole purpose.

Be that as it may, this is no longer about political ideologies or resettlements that were agreed upon long before any of us (or them) were born.

It's about "they killed my uncle so I killed their cousin so they killed my brother so now I'm gonna kill them all..." The issue of who started it has long since become moot.

Okay. But to me, 2006 seems like not so long ago. I guess I'm getting old.
