I feel like if the Palestinian cause got even a modicum of support from the western powers that israel did, they wouldn’t be nearly as radical or bloodthirsty.
Like imagine if the US offered funds and weapons to Hamas under the conditions that they strictly go after military targets, and they significantly moderate some of their more extreme elements.
I think Hamas would take that offer.
Ultimately Hamas rapes and kills civilians because it doesn’t matter. Any resistance on their part is viewed as terrorism by the west. Any crimes israel commits are ignored. If they are going to be obliterated anyways, why not take more Israelis down with them out of spite?
