Tishby explains Hamas's stated genocidal charter, argues Iran sacrificed Hamas and Gaza to sabotage Saudi-Israel normalization and Sunni-Shia rivalry, and they discuss whether there's room for nuanced criticism of Israel's military response.

In this bit9 moments
  • Hamas's charter explicitly calls for destroying the Jewish state and slaughtering all Jews, except those hiding behind trees and stones that will betray them.
  • Israel mistakenly believed Hamas wanted to govern Palestinians and achieve normalcy, when Hamas was actually planning to destroy Israel.
  • Hamas sacrificed Gaza in their attack, killing 1500 Israelis and mutilating bodies to claim a victory.
  • Tim compares Hamas's October 7th operation to previous attempts by Nazis and the Inquisition to exterminate Jews.
  • Hamas is a pawn of Iran, which sacrificed them as part of broader regional strategy.
  • Hamas won Palestinian elections, but unlike Israel's early leaders who unified militant factions under one government, Hamas is committed to destroying rather than building.
  • Iran sacrificed Hamas and dragged the entire Arab world into trouble, forcing even Sunni leadership to acknowledge Israel's right to defend itself.
  • Palestinians protesting peacefully for statehood are seeking what the Jewish yeshuv wanted—a state for themselves—but Hamas has no interest in building anything.
  • The 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are not all Hamas supporters, and Gaza had no Israeli occupation and could have become Singapore.
