steventhedevHamas official says group aims to repeat Oct. 7 onslaught many times to destroy Israel
They’re not doing their supporters any favours with these sort of comments lol
NOT_RICKIt’s easy to support Palestinian statehood. Anyone that supports Hamas is a moron.
Considering Hamas is the organization governing Gaza right now, the two are often intertwined in these discussions
It seems to me that Hamas “governs” Palestine the same way groups like the Mafia or Yakuza “govern” the people they extort.
R0cket_M00seDidn’t the Palestinian people vote them in?
Almost 20 years ago, when the majority of Palestinians alive today were either too young to vote or hadn’t even been born.
My point was that regardless of their ability to do it, they were at one time the elected officials of the geographic location known as Gaza. They’re obviously not a real government in policy and action, but they’re the only thing that exists to even bear the term or concept of governance in the area.
There is no other group to be considered as the government, no matter how awful Hamas is at being a government of any variety.
At one time, yes, but I don’t think we should be holding the Palestinians today to that. That would be like the Dubya era. If he had kept office until now, he would certainly not represent the opinion of Americans.
Hamas is embedded like a parasite, but there’s better ways to point this out.
