First of all, you stated that Hamas hides in refugee camps, hospitals, and schools. You mentioned that most hostages rescued were held by Hamas in these locations. If this were true, the Israeli bombings on these refugee camps would have resulted in many Israeli hostages being killed. However, there haven't been reports of dead Israeli hostages in these bombed locations.

You also mentioned that Hamas hides in hospitals, and sometimes innocent people get killed in these attacks. However, they are not targeting hospitals for sympathy; they are targeting them because they believe Hamas militants are there.

I was really surprised when you said it is not their land and that there was never a state called Palestine. Palestine has existed long before 1932, and there is historical evidence of Palestinian passports from that time. Additionally, there was a Palestinian leader before Arafat named Yahya Hammouda.

You mentioned that some Gazans are defending themselves from Hamas, but no one is defending themselves from Hamas. The people of Gaza see Hamas as their resistance and their only way to end their suffering.

You said the right to resist ends at rape, murder, and torture. That's true, but why are Israelis there in the first place to get murdered, raped, or tortured? It’s not their place; it’s not their land. It’s like knocking on your neighbor's door, attacking him, and then calling him a terrorist when he fights back.

You stated that most people in Gaza democratically elected Hamas, implying they support Hamas. Yes, they do, because they see it as their only way to defend themselves against Israeli aggression.

When you said there isn’t much collective punishment, that’s a huge statement. In Gaza, people get water every 18 to 20 days, and according to international laws, every person should have at least 100 liters during these days. Israel provides only 80 liters. Isn’t that collective punishment?

You also claimed the response isn’t disproportionate. If Hamas members were hiding in Israel, Israel would never bomb an entire neighborhood. They would surgically remove these Hamas members. They can’t just bomb neighborhoods in other parts of the world as they do in Gaza, and the governments don’t hold them accountable, though the people around the world do.

You said the IDF accidentally killed some Israelis while trying to drive Hamas out of the territory on October 7th. They may have killed 1 or 2 Israelis, but not 40,000 by accident. This comparison is not valid.

No, I don't think the same about Al-Qaeda, because Al-Qaeda are not defending themselves. They are attacking other people based on their ideology.

You said justice is achieved by eliminating Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and other groups, and then liberating Iran and returning power to the people. Eliminating these groups might bring justice and freedom for Israeli people and those in power, but it won't bring justice for the Palestinians. Historically, eliminating resistance groups often leads to occupation and control over the land's wealth, as seen in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine.

You said there is no Palestine, and I counter that there is no Israel and no Israeli people. Most people in Israel are European, holding European passports and property in various European countries. Many Israeli leaders have fake names. Did you know about this?

Understanding these dynamics is crucial for any meaningful dialogue about peace and justice. We must focus on ending the oppression and finding paths to genuine peace and justice.
