This is why people defederate from specific instances.
How are you a Star Trek fan and a chud, do you believe the honorable Jean Luc Picard would genocide Palestinians?
Bajor is probably the closest I think you'll get, and on that his opinion is clear.
And I don't agree with Israel, I acknowledge that hamas's attack has provoked a broader invasion and a state change in their relationship.
There's not always a good guy and a bad guy, and Hamas is no fucking boy scout group.
If Hamas wasn't there, a different militant group would be in the lead against Israel. Even on Oct. 7th several militant groups attacked Israel, not just Hamas. So they might not be seen as a "good guy" but they are fighting on the morally correct side.
Israel frames this war as a fight against Hamas but it is against Palestine as a whole. Israeli politicans have funded and propped Hamas up specifically because of their extremism, to divide Palestinians, reduce Western sympathy, and make a more palatable enemy to slaughter.
