The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

No, again, Israel has COMPLETELY blockaded Gaza.
The Palestinians don't have anything with which to even attempt to throw out Hamas.
So what would you have them do? What do you think Israel's reaction would be if they tried to smuggle weapons in through the blockade?
Again, this is all Israel's design. They could lift the blockade today. They could normalize relations with the Palestinians today. They won't, because what they really want is to choke them out and steal their land. They won't be satisfied with less.

"According to other translations, Netanyahu said that Israel “must have security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River,”"
So your argument is essentially that the Jews are to blame for terrorist actions against them and the terrorists themselves should not be held accountable because the Jews won't allow it...
I'm not sure if you personally are an antisemite but the people telling you this nonsense clearly are and I think you should start considering how these arguments come across to people who aren't antisemites.
No, I'm saying Israel is to blame for the Palestinians inability to do anything about Hamas.
If you want Hamas gone, stop treating Palestinians like terrorists.
I'm not the one treating Palestinians like terrorists, you are. You are the one claiming they support terrorism against Israel because Israel forced them into it.
That's nonsense and you don't believe that.
I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying they are incapable of dealing with Hamas on their own because Israel does not allow them the supplies and support they need to be able to deal with them.
If Israel lifted the blockade and allowed the Palestinian Authority to act on their own, as an independent government, Hamas would be gone.
Israel will never do that, because they see all Palestinians as the enemy.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/24/israel-gaza-world-leaders-un-genocide-palestinians
"Israel’s former chief military advocate general and the country’s former attorney general no less, who declared that to destroy Hamas “then you have to destroy Gaza, because everything in Gaza, almost every building there, is a stronghold of Hamas”."
...Gaza has had 15 years to try and Mount an offensive against Hamas.
Israel is attacked with a bombing essentially weekly over the last near 2 decades. Where are the supplies for those coming from?
Is Qatar possibly the answer?
Gaza has been blockaded by Israel since 2005.
Did you even BOTHER reading the links?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip
"Israel blockaded the Gaza Strip at various levels of intensity in 2005–2006, with Israeli imposed closures having a history going back to 1991.[7][8][9][10][11] In 2007, after Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip, Israel imposed an indefinite blockade of Gaza that is ongoing to present day, on the grounds that Fatah and Palestinian Authority forces had fled the Strip and were no longer able to provide security on the Palestinian side.[12] "
Here's another good one:
https://www.oxfam.org/en/timeline-humanitarian-impact-gaza-blockade
"Less than 16% of items needed to construct vital water infrastructure are reaching Gaza"
You: "bUt why Don'T theY dO sOMetHiNg ABout HAMaS?"
They can't. They literally can't, and the reason they can't is Israel's blockade.
Why aren't their supplies coming in through the same route as the weapons?
If the terrorists are getting their needs met while the people aren't, isn't that the fault of Hamas?
No, because the terrorists have their own supply chain. If the civilians utilized it, Israel would go "See! They're all Hamas!"
So the terrorists are Hamas, who are also the elected government of Palestine.
So if you are stating that Hamas in.fact does have trade routes established with their neighbors, you have to concede that Israel is not fully to blame here.
Sadly? I don't think you are willing to let yourself be capable of admitting that.
DARVO, lol
Okboomer, get back to me when you feel ready to discuss it.
Say… a month.
Take as long as needed.
