Hello William. We've talked before but you probably don't remember me in particular. I'm responding to a dated post because I'm not interested in other people's input on this. I know you're an outspoken critic of Hamas, and I also believe Hamas is a terrorist organization, but I have a Persian friend who has become convinced they are noble freedom fighters. If, in your research you have compiled a file of Hamas crimes, particularly crimes against Palastinians, and you could share those links with me I would appreciate it, not that you owe me anything. Thanks for any help you can give.

I do remember you GG but I do not accumulate files on anything. I do subscribe to Haaretz, which hardly what I would call Zionist as they are an acerbic critic of Netanyahu and the write. I do recall that they have documented crimes of HAMAS against Gazan's. I use Gaza and Gazans to distinguish from people of the West Bank, basically they are two different nations, tho they share a religion, an ethnicity they are under the thumb of different authorities who have two different methodologies and organizations.

Your Persian friend has to be Iranian, and as such is an irrational antisemite.

Iran justifies it's harsh rule and existence by its Jihad against Israel.

It's the old tried and true formula of uniting people against a common enemy,in this case the enemy is the age old enemy of Islam, the Jew, and Israelis a Jewish nation whose very existence is blasphemous, doubly so because it occupies and controls the third most holy site in Islam.. Jerusalem.

In a word there is nothing you c an say or do which will dissuade your Persian friend.

Any more is there a way to convert a MAGAt from their way of toxic thinking.

Or a Marxist from their worship of Marxism.

It is a fruitless as trying to convert a Muslim to Christianity or Judaism.
