    I agree. But to be honest your comment came out as sarcastic. Hamas don’t take issue in being clear about their own agendas. Israel does everything to hide it. You don’t need to find words like these in internal Israeli government documents. Their actions are enough. Nakba was ethnic cleansing. Today in Gaza is ethnic cleansing. Genocide is finally being used in the media as a word to describe the situation with accuracy.

      You may be right about Netanyahu & Likud, anyway, and I’m certainly not saying the Palestinians don’t have every right to resist. I expect Israel’s stated aim, to destroy Hamas, is an honest one. I expect Gaza will be returned to the Palestinians when that goal is achieved, because again, I don’t see Israel as intentionally genocidal. I can’t say I’m not concerned that my expectations won’t be met, though.
