@amerika @Moon @Penelope @faab64 We literally have video of Israeli officials like 10+ years ago saying their plan is to make Hamas the representatives of Palestine so nobody on the world stage will recognize the claims of statehood run by a government that is designated as a terrorist group.

Their entire playbook has been to discredit any possible claim and snuff out any possible positive political movement of the Palestinian people so they don’t have to cede an inch of land.

(now whether or not Israel deserves that land is a completely separate conversation)
