    That’s just code for supporting genocide and totalitarianism. The only way to stop a terrorist movement is in fact to engage with it and deal with their grievances in good faith. You only fight them where it is necessary because every fight makes more recruits for their cause.

      Too bad the grievances of these specific terrorists is that if you don’t become muslim they’ll kill you.

      This isn’t some fucking oppressed minority group just trying to be a good lil’ bean and live their lives. They’re radicals that want to genocide people and convert the world to islam by force and threat of death of you don’t.

      Do you think you should engage with domestic right wing US terrorism? To ask the christo-fascists why they are doing what they’re doing and to please stop it? No, they’re insidious because they will die believing they’re 100% in the right and that you trying to prevent them from a full takeover is being “intolerant.”

      Fucking insane you people sit here defending the middle east’s version of conservative Christian nationalism. Fuck all religious nutter butters, they’re the crabs in a bucket trying to revert us to the middle ages so they can have their way with society.

        That’s funny. They sure seem to leave the Christians in Gaza alone for having forcible conversion as a policy.

        Oh right, I forgot. You’re full of shit. These guys aren’t Al Qaida. In fact they’ve consistently shut down any attempt at AQ coming into Gaza.

        They aren’t even saying they want Israel to be a Muslim sharia government. They just want Israel to leave Palestine alone.

          The Christian population in Gaza has declined by 2/3 since 2009, when there were about 3,000 total. Today there are fewer than 1000.

          Hamas has made a huge push to either get them to convert or leave, and have killed dozens.

          And why compare them to al Qaeda? Why not the Taliban?

          They have a formal alliance with the Taliban, and both are the governments of their state. Both have pretty much the same platform as well, and both are officially opposed to AQ because AQ competes with them for power.

            You just can’t stop can you? Two seconds of googling reveals the Christians that left after the blockade blame the Israelis, not Hamas.
