Because they're not going to do that. You can't call them terrorists and expect logical reasonable action or reaction.
The Palestinian people by in large did not vote Hamas in, over 50% of the people in Gaza were not alive during the last election.
Excuse the tangent but you made me look it up. >50% of Americans weren't eligible to vote in 2000 but apparently I need to answer for the Iraq War for the rest of my friggin' life like that was my personal decision.
Hamas is a jihadist organization though...
If they don't represent the majority maybe they should hold elections and let a party that represents the majority take the lead?
Sure, and Israel is a Zionist nation what's your point.
Yes the terrorist organization is going to relinquish control... Yeah.
So we shouldn’t call them terrorists and hope they stop killing people? I’m sorry that doesn’t make any sense. Israel isn’t about to stop their war on Hamas, yet it doesn’t stop the world criticising them.
While technically true, almost 70% of Gazans support armed attacks on Israeli civilians.](https://pcpsr.org/sites/default/files/Poll%2089%20English%20Full%20Text%20September%202023.pdf) I know it doesn’t fit the oppressor/oppressed narrative, but the vast majority of people in Gaza support what Hamas is doing. If elections were held today, according to that same poll, they would vote Hamas back in.
It doesn't make sense no, it's also not at all what I said but neat projection.
That's an opinion poll for a population that generally do not answer and those that do answer have to think about how that might get out and what extremists might do about that.
Ed sample population sub 2000.... Jesus dude did you vet this at all lol.
I don't see why this matters at all when Hamas wont allow elections and is an authoritarian government.
That's quite literally the point.
It doesn't matter that they didn't vote for Hamas because it was not possible and will never be possible. Why is that the point?
To me, this seems exactly like the other guys point.
Are you paying attention to the conversation or a single comment you've chosen to take issue with?
Ah, there's the answer, you aren't paying attention.
Theres only 2 other comments in this thread.

Well this is like your 3rd comment that isnt clear why its relevant.
If you're just going to make impossible statements, then we might as well be discussing unicorns and leprechauns.
That sounds like a you problem bud, one and one is two of you're bad at math I can't help much.
I like how literally all your comments are irrelevant lol Nicely done mate 👍
It couldn't be that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.... No ....
Can you explain why it matters that Gazans haven't voted for Hamas when there havent been elections and Hamas is a dictatorship?
Did you read the comment I linked.
This is typical of the bad faith, pro-Hamas people I've ran into on Lemmy. Outside of people like you, lemmy has been pretty enjoyable. Welcome to the block list.
Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm with Hamas, they're both doing shitty shit because they're both shitty. Simple as.
