Israel our home are basically fascists, in the old Stern Gang/Yitzak Shamir style
You can call it fascism all you like, but that doesn't make it so.
Matter of opinion, I guess.
You absolutely cannot justify a war of aggression on the grounds that the opposition are big meanies. You have no right to murder children because, you think, their parents would do the .
Note that you personally share moral responsibility for this murderous ethnic cleansing that you firmly support.
Hamas has done far worse than "be big meanies". And it's not ethnic cleansing. It's a human rights issue, certainly, but calling it ethnic cleansing is hyperbole.
No, that's essentially your position. Hamas has committed thought-crimes, and would do XYZ nasty thing if given the chance. Therefore, a war of aggression is justified. This war, of course, will not make those acts less likely - indeed it will make them more so. Nonetheless, Hamas is mean in the abstract, so we must bomb nearby hospitals and schools and steal their country.
Complete nonsense. The conflict would end tomorrow if Israel wanted it to. Hamas has violated some ceasefire agreements - usually after lengthy provocation; Israel has yet to honour a single ceasefire agreement with Palestinians ever. For example, the 2009 war followed years of peace. Hamas obsessively enforced a rocket halt, as it was required to do, and rocket fire ended. Meanwhile, Israel maintained its criminal blockade in violation of the agreement (later the IDF murdered a number of Turks attempting to bring aid to starving Palestinians who had been denied it by the criminal Israeli government). In 2008, Hamas offered a long-standing truce; Israel started bombing. Hamas got all the blame for the conflict.
As for your other claim - that Hamas is the root cause of the conflict - you're just lying. The root cause is Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory. Indeed, it is an advantage to Israel if Hamas appears or is in fact extremist. This war, for instance, began as a response to Hamas' frustrating settlement with Fatah, which was a threat to Israel's international standing. If the Palestinians are peacefully, reasonably demanding an end to the conflict and the Israelis reject their offer, Israel will eventually lose international support and be forced to accept peace. Can't have that - we have to create extremism to justify our annexation. How? Bombing.
Are you completely out of touch with reality?
1. The conflict began before the blockade, what makes you think it would end if Israel lifts it?
Indeed. The conflict began as a result of Israel's occupation of the West Bank. It will end the day Israel is willing to give up that conquest and not one moment before, as would any other war of colonial aggression.
2. Hamas did not enforce a rocket halt. The fire slowed, sure, but it was still there.
Firmly and fanatically enforced. Israel systematically violated the agreement, of course with your strong moral complicity.
3. What I mean to say is that in 2005, there was legitimate hope for peace. Israel had pulled out of Gaza, and was planning to do the same for the West Bank.
Then it chose not to and the conflict continued. That was nobody's decision but Israel's and the resulting war nobody's fault but Israel's.
Then Hamas took power were elected. The fact that they were elected does not make them any less of an existential threat to Israel.
Hamas is as much an existential threat to the Israeli state as the Indian National Congress were to the British one. This is a joke.
In any case, your private opinion is no basis for public policy - and, even if Hamas were an actual military force, ending the conflict would destroy them and end that threat.
4. If anything, Hamas are the conniving ones. Their "us or them" mentality with regards to Israel has led to them repeatedly provoking Israel and then crying foul when they retaliate.
For instance, in 2009 Hamas chose to provoke Israel's attack by offering a long-term peace settlement, supported by every Arab state in the region. This was a drastic threat to the Israeli state in Palestine, and might well have defeated it. In 2014, Hamas again provoked Israeli attack by ending internecine conflict with Fatah, agreeing to a unified non-violent peace offensive and creating an enormous threat to Israel's settlement program. The IDF had no choice but to force Hamas away from the negotiating table. In both cases, Hamas acted extremely deviously is pursuing peace - while Israel was transparently acting in defence of their ethnic cleansing program. Loathsome cunning!
