Even if crimes did expire (which they don’t) in this case the crime is ongoing and is extreme - it’s genocide, the crime of crimes. The Hamas position isn’t to ethnically cleanse, its to fulfil international law because the occupation is illegal, as are the settlements in the West Bank. They must be removed.

As for the end of Israel, I agree. Israel’s position is that it’s the land of the Jews, an ethnocentric state, which is ridiculous. Many Jews reject that. Israel as a project will fail because its untenable and it should.

Hamas are proposing the elimination of a regime (like the Assad regime), not a people. The elimination of a people is what Israel intends for the Palestinians and if you deny that you are denying the observable actions of Israel over and its rhetoric over the last 100 years.

I don’t have to defend the actions of Hamas to argue that they are resisting occupation which is legal in international law. Israel’s so called defence may arguably be defended but it has no actual basis in international law.
