AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Provisional IRA disarm after Good Friday?

Perhaps that is the point . . . it wasn't necessary to kill them all; there is a template for a peace process.

Basically, yes. The point is that Hamas is a resistance organization that believes God's intervention is required to deliver the Palestinians from the hand of the Zionist, and that will only happen if they build a virtuous society; it's not a Salafi group trying to bring back the Caliphate with flame and sword and death to the infidels.
