For people who don’t know, Hamas’s goal is for Jews and Palestinians to live in a unified single state (probably an Islamic one) called Palestine, where Arabs are the dominant group and Jews are a protected minority. (They want the return of 4 million Palestinian refugees to Palestine, which would make Jews a minority.)
(Obviously that would be unacceptable to the Jews, who feel that they need a Jewish-majority state for their own safety, but that’s besides the point now.)
Hence, Hamas want the elimination of Israel, but not the elimination of Jews. I think it’s unfortunate that this has so regularly been twisted into the claim that Hamas wants to eliminate the Jews.
They’ve also indicated that they might be open to compromising and negotiating a two-state solution. And yet, the claim that they want to eliminate the Jews has been used as an excuse to not negotiate with them.
Anyway, none of this matters now. Now that Hamas have committed a massive terrorist attack, there’s no way that anyone can negotiate with them.

Hamas is supposed to negotiate with people committing Genocide but when they fight back suddenly negotiation are off?
