Israel has the obligation to end settler colonialism unconditionally. A free palestine with an army will destroy hamas

    I think you're a bit delusional there. The people of Gaza support Hamas.
    And although I disparage recent settler activities by Israel, their entire existence could be seen as settler colonialism, just like the U.S. or almost all other countries if you go back far enough. So I don't think Israel has any obligation there.
    If you think the people of Gaza would kick out Hamas if they could, why don't they welcome Israel to do the same?

    The International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion delivered on July 19, 2024, which determined that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, is unlawful under international law. The ICJ ruled that Israel must end the occupation, dismantle settlements, pay reparations to the Palestinian people, and cease discriminatory policies

    So why israel has to end occupation unconditionally

    Well technically, Israel didn't sign the Rome Statute, so no. And there are a lot of parties in the area that aren't following the rules. You can't just pick one side and insist they get pummeled by following the rules when their adversaries don't. I would certainly wish Israel would take the moral high ground, but instead they seem to have decided to go down to the gutter and fight Hamas at its level - and I find that very regrettable and sad.

    Did Hamas?

    Of course, the world is not a nice place. At the end of the day, Israel can do whatever they want to do with the territories they decided to occupy away from the people that lived there. But don't come in here all surprised about the reaction to it, or talking about "Israel" and "moral high ground" in the same sentence.

    You just put 'moral high ground' and 'Israel' in the same sentence as much as I did.
    I won't be surprised; both sides are stupidly stubborn and both side are evil and violent. Right now Isreal has the means to be more evil and more violent. In the past whether on their own volition or to secure international support, they have not gone full on to wipe out their adversaries so I think they did somewhat take the slightly less low road. They are taking a different approach now and it's horrible. I don't know if it will make the eventual response even more horrible, or if it will delay it enough that from Israel's perspective it will be worth it. I can only hope the current Israeli government gets kicked out of power and some sort of peace deal can be made.

    You are dilusional genocide supporter. The people of gaza support anybody who retaliate to israeli terrorism so once occupation end hamas is done it will lose all support and will be fough by an palestinian army

    Why are using dumb word like could everybody know building settlements in settler colonialism
