No one is defending the actions of the Hamas. They are defending the rights of the innocent. Isreal is more evil than Hamas but they are both evil.
Isreal has called for an ethnic cleansing and has actually been going forward with it.
You have poor reading comprehension.
If you don't want Hamas to exist then Israelis need to leave the country that doesn't belong to them.
Stealing Palestinian lands that the people didn't agree to give up is literally genocide
What do you think about the ethnic cleansing that Israel is doing? Surely it should be obvious that the apartheid they are carrying out is orders of magnitude worse. They've imprisoned millions of people in bantustans and driven them to abject poverty through severe restrictions. The death count for Palestinians is two orders of magnitude higher than that for Israelis.
What israel is doing is literally genocide as legally defined by over 150 countries.
This doesn't excuse any bad behavior by Hamas but to characterize them as the main problem is a gross mischaracterization of reality.
You missed my point. I'm saying the leadership are fascists on both sides. You can't just blame one side.
