@Dan. I'm not sure why you engage in arguments with Antisemites, but one thing you should change is rather than refer to the savages as Hamas, you should use the proper descriptive terms #IslamoNazi #HamasisISIS. Failure to use the proper descriptive terms is what allows the world's collective memory to lose sight of what happened on Shmini Atzeres.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Save your energy Dan. Eric Less is not worth my spittle. If his addled excuse for a brain can't comprehend any of this without you, it won't comprehend it with you. He's a rabid anti-semite and he deserves none of our attention.
if that's the case ask him if he put on tefilin he might be a yid

I disagree. If he engages in a semi respectful way it is worthwhile it to engage, at least for the sake of others who read the exchange.

Even if you won't change his mind, it is worth correcting. I made this point in the comments on View From the Wing; it is not "Netanyahu". WE know their is a unity government, the war plans of the IDF are not some strangelovian plot by the "right wing religious fanatics".
Too many normies ignore that crucial point. There are so many in the libertarian/liberal/ progressive or even "conservative" camps who strongly support Israel in the war but think the Right bloc as led by Netanyahu are theocratic or fascist extremists. Its a real Chaval.

The whole notion that both sides are led by leaders who cynically shy away from a lasting peace ignores the lack of interest in the existence of israel by the Palestinian polity. That should be hammered home in our Hasbarah; as Dan alluded to. This is not about settlements, judicial reform, Netanyahu, checkpoints and other excuses.
An otherwise sympatheic colleague made this point right after Oct 7; he made some stupid point about how "leaders" are the problem. I let it slide as the grief was too raw and his sympathy was otherwise too heartfelt.

We Jews (I am not Israeli or Zionist but I do consider myself jewish and connected to all yidden; as required by Toras Hashem, something seemingly ignored by too many chareidim) have a right to defend ourselves contra mr lee. Even if that means killing civilians.

If you can't convey your thoughts coherently without having to cheapen yourself with hashtags and slogans, your thoughts may not be worth that much.

Uh, say what? How'd they get there?

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/erdogan-over-1000-hamas-members-being-treated-in-hospitals-in-turkey/

Quote
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan says that more than 1,000 members of the Palestinian terror group Hamas are being treated in hospitals across Turkey, reiterating his stance that Hamas is a “resistance movement.”

Speaking at a press conference after talks with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Ankara, Erdogan also says he was saddened by the Greek view of Hamas a terrorist organization.

Hamas has had an office in Turkey since 2011 when Turkey helped secure the agreement for the terror group to free Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

The Iran-backed group is designated as a terrorist organization by a host of countries including Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada along with the European Union.

@CountValentine this also goes towards your question of how many Hamas are left. Aside from the many who were killed, there are thousands of wounded who are out of the fight (and apparently the country, for that matter).
