So it doesn't say much but I found this,
https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/11/analysis-why-did-hamas-attack-now-and-what-is-next
Israeli violations can be understood to main airstrikes and other military action against Gaza, though it's unclear if it includes the blockade.
Unfortunately you're right, it doesn't say a whole lot.
and later
Which contradicts the idea in the OP article stating about Hamas' "demands."
The closet thing I could find was this:
Which are certainly objectives, but not specific enough to be demands.
Searching for "hamas' list of demands" online, there are several articles similar to the one above that reference it, but no list of demands that I can see. The closest things I can find are the 1988 and 2017 Hamas charters, which aren't particularly specific other than the original one calls for the eradication of Israel and the Jews, and the revised one just calls for the eradication of Israel... which isn't exactly a demand as much as an aspiration, and is kind of a moot point because it doesn't seem like something that would be accepted by Israel.
So I'm still looking for an actual list of demands...
Thank you for properly seeking sources for information instead of just blindly believing what someone on a forum tells you.
Ironically I'm still getting shit upon by one or two freakish trolls for simply asking questions and engaging in dialog.
It's kind of annoying that the block feature doesn't work right, since I still get notifications whenever people I've blocked comment.
