I find this morally reprehensible. I have always spoken against defederazation when others have mentioned it. This is too much. Apologies if this upsets anyone.
Palestinians are human beings and have a right to life.
Edit: I have been persuaded by some thoughtful replies. I will block them from my view. I no longer support making the decision for others. Thanks all.
I’m not pro-Hamas but I dislike Israel more because Hamas are fighting their captors. I can understand that. I believe if Palestine was granted statehood and equal rights, Hamas would cease operating. If it continued to operate, I would be anti-Hamas as much as I am anti-Israel. The power imbalance makes treating them with equal disdain irrational.
Do you have evidence to support that hypothesis?
No. That’s why it’s a belief. That’s also why I stated that if it turned out to be wrong, I would consider Hamas just as bad as Israel.
Fair enough. I just don’t know of a case where a violent rebel group took over a government/land and then immediately dissolved.

What I meant to ask was if there was any historical evidence of a violent rebel group actually giving up power when they win.
But you did respond to what I literally asked with evidence, so hard to argue with that.
This is not a violent rebel group, they are the government defending their home from foreign invaders. But the Vietcong and ANC are both no longer in power if you mean that.
Usually after violent revolution comes a few years of unrest. Stability does not come directly. But first the colonizers must be removed else that period will never be reached.
