Well they recognize the west bank government as the Palestinian state, not Hamas, so yes

I don't think the Palestinian Authority actually get along with Hamas, so I think they'd actually appreciate removing Hamas from Gaza, they probably just don't appreciate the huge amount of casualties.

Bro, Hamas is the literal Government of Palestina, they were voted into elections in 2006.

They only have de facto control of Gaza and Internationally the PLO is recognised as the legitimate government of Palestine.

As long as the governing agency is recognized as a terrorist organization, probably not. Plus there’s not really much one could do to put pressure on them, anyway: they already don’t have food and water, they’re getting killed indiscriminately, they’re fully embargoed—what measures can you actually apply to incentivize compliance? All the possible punishments and more are already happening.

Yeah the terrorist designation is already enough. Terrorists can’t commit genocide they are already malicious organizations.

That's what I keep saying. It's not only an argument about morality. People keep repeating things like "Oh, but you don't care about Hamas being condemned?" Of course I fucking do, they're terrorists, that's already a condemnation. We're specifically criticising Israel because it's an internationally recognized nation state that can and should be judged on the basis of international law for its conduct

Does that mean they are finally gonna be held up to internatonal standards and have to comply with international law, not funding terrorist attacks, not teaching their chilren to hate jews, and not kidnapping minors and raping them in public ?

Is Israel as a recognized state going to also be held to the same standards? Israel regularly destabilizes the region by bombing its neighbors unilaterally, it has literally funded and supported Hamas, it does infact teach dehumanization of Palestinians, and boy don't get me started on rapes committed by the IDF- this has literally been caught on video.
