Hamas was created in 1987. It is not part of Iran, though they often receive funding from Iran.
IBD is locked in three paradoxes (which are K, L, and M in my records) concerning this subject. He continues to try to argue both sides of each one. It's quite irrational.
These are:
K1) Hamas exists.
K2) Hamas does not exist.
L1) Hamas is funded by Iran.
L2) Hamas doesn't exist.
M1) There is genocide.
M2) There is no genocide.
Paradox M he made just a few posts ago.
You seem to be right. He is pretty much reduced to just fallacies and chanting his paradoxes now.
It's more like this with IBDM.
Hamas existed but had no military power operating as a governmental bureaucracy.
Hamas's members are now dead, and it no longer effectively exists.
Military power in Gaza rests with Iran
The various factions like Al Qassam, Islamic Jihad, etc. are all controlled by Iran
His problem is:
Israel is negotiating with Hamas. There's no denying that.
If Hamas effectively doesn't exist how is this possible unless Israel can somehow speak to the dead.
Israel is not a war with Iran, yet it is fighting in IBDM's version Iranian forces directly controlled by Iran.
The various factions that are combatants don't get along. That too is well known. That's why there are various factions.
If Iran controls them, why don't the operate in lockstep with one mind?
IBDM claims a "genocide" is going on. But:
Hamas lies and has been caught lying red handed, repeatedly about casualty rates.
Hamas, et al., are documented and known to use human shields and see civilian casualties as desirable because they are "martyrs" and seen as a political tool to use against their enemy.
A genocide is a systematic extermination of a population, yet Israel regularly warns the population of Gaza where their forces will operate in advance and gives that population time to evacuate. Why would they do that if they wanted to exterminate that population?
Thus, Israel is negotiating with a non-entity to end warfare, while supposedly exterminating a population as part of that warfare that it regularly tries to get out of the combat zone(s) it is fighting in, and fighting entities that are under the control of a nation Israel isn't fighting a war with.
That's the contradictions IBDM faces.
