Fuck Hamas. They lied about giving up violence to get elected into power, then used violence to remain in power and refuse to hold future elections.

Also - the government of Israel is committing at least 3 of the 5 categories of genocide as defined by the Holocaust Museum.

Opposing Israel's objectively-worse behavior is not the same as supporting Hamas.

I think you misunderstand my point. I am not failing to oppose Israel. I oppose BOTH sides of this conflict.

I believe the part that your point is missing is that Hamas and Palestine are two distinct groups. I'm sure there's some overlap, but Palestinians are not Hamas simply by virtue of being born Palestinian.

They are generally innocent victims in a war being waged against them by Israel. Hamas is fighting Israel, so I don't doubt that many Palestinians see them as the only way to fight back, but this is the result of decades of oppression against Palestinians

I don't support Hamas' methods either, but I still support the people of Palestine over the senseless attacks Israel is engaging in
