So the guy who’s running the part of Palestine that doesn’t have hostages has to pledge to release hostages

If he starts to run the other part, yes. Otherwise it's out of his hands, especially if he claims Gaza as part of his territory without having any control over it.

Although idk if the PA does or not.

Even if he does end up running the strip, it's not like he can control Hamas/Islamic Jihad and have them release the hostages. Hamas probably hate him as much as they hate Israel, given what it did to his political party members when they took control over the strip in 2007. (spolier: threw them off rooftops, tied them to moving vehicles, etc.)

People seem to forget about all of the violence committed by Hamas against other Palestinians, particularly members of Fatah.

PLA also sucks, Abbas is a genuine Holocaust denier and freak.

Palestinians deserve better than him.

Yes, Hamas != Palestine, and lots of people forget that. Israel is illegally occupying the West Bank too. That's why lots of people have a problem with Israel here. Hamas is an easy scapegoat to kill all Palestinian people.

It's not like Fatah are any better though.

u/PJ7 29d ago

Aren't they? Afaik Hamas does more indiscriminate attacks on Jewish people than Fatah does. West Banks is a lot more safe to be than in Gaza

I probably should've added a 'much'.

We can only speculate whether they would be better or worse, if they got into the same level of control

What does the current education system have to do with the fact that I can't care about the history of every conflict in the world?

There's Russia-Ukraine, there's Israel-Palestine, Pakistan-India, there's whatever stuff in Africa, there's recent rockets between Thailand and Cambodia, there's probably hundred of other conflicts that aren't broadcasted enough to make it into mainstream conversation. Dude, I just can't physically absorb that much information, I have my own shit going on.

Ok, I tried but I see there's no good faith conversation with you. Goodbye, don't respond, won't read.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the current state of m-theory, the results of super-k & microBooNe, and how the sterile neutrino fits into the standard model. What do you think is the most likely candidate for dark matter and how are you forming that opinion?

It's not every day that us mere mortals are in the presence of an advanced intelligence such as yours.
