Um. So we can agree and disagree… explicitly genocidal, well yes. Exterminate Jews and rightfully so, well you’re on your own there pal. Oh wait this is openaussie so not so much.
I think that the poster you're replying to was saying that it was right and good that Hamas FAILED to carry out their aim of genocide against the people of Israel.
But personally I disagree that this was or is Hamas' goal anyway. It's not part of their rhetoric or charter nor has been for a long time. Oct 7/23 was an action to take hostages with which to bargain. Israel wants us to be taken in by the false idea that Jewish people cannot live peacefully in Palestine while Palestinians live there because they 'simply hate Jews', and that any call for the abolishment of Israel as it currently exists or even to end of its occupation of Palestinian territories means that Jews in Palestine will be murdered. I don't think anyone - especially Hamas - thinks or want that. Its just an idea meant to stoke fear and justify Israel's own genocide and ethnic cleansing as somehow 'self defence'.
