An important note to my Palestinian friends in Gaza: please do not favourite, boost, share, or otherwise show support publicly for any of my posts wherein I criticise Hamas, including the one above. I would urge you to avoid the topic entirely in public discourse here. This is for your own safety.

Also, to any keyboard warriors who want to have philosophical conversations about Hamas with people from Gaza (or worse, want them to denounce them) as you sit in your comfy armchair enjoying the safety of your gilded Western abode: don’t. They don’t owe you anything and you could be putting their lives at risk.
