Is there a list of Hamas' demands published somewhere? Cause I don't see it in the article...
I'm genuinely curious as to whether it's an achievable list of demands vs ludicrous posturing that has no chance of ever being met.
I'm pretty sure the raison d'etre of Hamas is just "death to Israel"
Yes the abolishment of the oppressive genocidal ethno state of israel is indeed their goal.
I'm pretty sure the raison d'être of Nelson Mandela and the ANC was to end the Apartheid in South Africa as well.
Violent resistance groups don't just magically spawn out of thin air.
They’re a terrorist organisation and use terrorist methods. They don’t even care if Palestinians get killed. Can’t believe you’re equating them with Nelson Mandela 😂
The Apartheid in South Africa didn't end with Mandela going on a hunger strike my friend. That's the funny story the US tells you afterwards
They regained their rights using the same methods that were used to take their rights away.
Violence.
Mandela was on the American "terror" watch list until 2008
Yep. Him and Winnie were infamous for putting tyres around the necks of their victims, filling the tyres with petrol, then lighting em up. Amnesty international wouldn't go near him for a very long time. This came up in my Facebook memories a couple of days ago, the dude was a monster. Personally, I don't think the ends justified the means, but I know they did for many, and I know for even more they don't know the whole story...
It seems his wife Winnie was openly advocating for it while Mandela was in prison but I can't find him associating with it.
