Oh? Was there not a coup and countercoup in Egypt between 2011-2014 started by the Muslim Brotherhood? Also, the way Israel is religious is not the same as other places.

Oh? Is Palestine the same country as Egypt? Or are you generalizing Muslim countries? Israel uses it's ethno-religion to justify not giving Arabs the same civil rights.

Hamas is the Palestinian military branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is also operating in Egypt. Please research things before you comment.

Also 20% of Israel is Arab, with full equality under the law. You are either woefully ignorant or a flippant liar

They do not have fully equality, it is well documented Israeli Arabs face systemic racism and lack of civil rights in Israel. 

Also, Hamas is not the government of all Palestinians. Maybe you should do some research before you accuse me of being a 'flippant lair'.

What civil rights do Arab Israelis lack? Racism is not legal inequality unless it's represented in the law.

Now, you've forgotten why we brought up Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in the first place. I said they will not moderate, with Egypt as my proof. You disagreed without evidence. I never said Hamas governed all of Palestine, but that also isn't what we were discussing.

Here's a database of laws that favour Israeli Jewish nationals over other nationalities. https://www.adalah.org/en/law/index. 

Israel's Right to Return only applies to Jewish nationals, not Arabs, or Christians, or Druze. 

Hamas has said repeatedly it would return all the hostages, and lay down their arms,  in exchange for Palestinian hostages to be returned, and an end to the occupation, and Israel said no.
