Israel hates negotiations. Netanyahu funded Hamas. And you're writing comedy and I just can't be bothered. You got me. No you didn't.

Only a Zionist would call equal rights and the right to self-determination a "maximalist" position.

Answer me one thing. Who will be the people who flow into Israel while the whole world sees the ugly state it has become?

A weirdly supremacist ethno-state is not a solution. It might seem like a good idea but I don't think it has legs to be honest.

> "Netanyahu funded Hamas"

I see this claim repeated over and over. You should be aware that it is false. As far as I am aware, Israel never funded Hamas. Israel allowed Qatari money to the Gaza authority to pay for civil servants, humanitarian aid and basic services, while it was run by Hamas.

To be clear, this was not Hamas’ position during negotiations.

They had equal rights and self-determination in Gaza. For decades. They never built a society from it, instead begging the international community for food, and then starting a war they knew they would lose, only for the PR points of losing badly.
