The first thing Hitler did was jail and kill the liberals and socialists.
The first thing Khomeini did was jail and kill the liberals and socialists.
Opposition to the religious rule of the clergy or Islamic government in general was often met with harsh punishments. In a talk at the Fayzieah School in Qom, 30 August 1979, Khomeini warned opponents: “Those who are trying to bring corruption and destruction to our country in the name of democracy will be oppressed. They are worse than Bani-Ghorizeh Jews, and they must be hanged. We will oppress them by God’s order and God’s call to prayer.”[128]

If you want a the same thing for Palestine, Israel has every right to oppose, resist and defend itself from the clearly stated intentions of Hamas, Fatah/PLO, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah etc.
Be careful what you wish for….
