I thought they stacked an election? I've also heard it was a coup. I think I'm missing a fact somewhere, but I'm not saying I'm deaf to their cause. It just doesn't make sense that a group demanding the eradication of Jews, Israel, and Western civilization should have any business asking for peace. How do you give a terrorist state sovereignty?

So they're asking for an end to occupation, but occupation is the only solution? I want everyone to stop dying like the rest of the world does, but there have to be concessions to the genocide agenda that the Palestinians and Hamas are pushing for. I don't think the US should be involved, and I think the protests here are pointless.
