Yes I believe to support a people you have to side with the defenders against the genocidal colonist ethnic cleansing. As someone said, If Hamas was wiped out and Israel killed my entire family and I was the sole survivor I would probably make "Hamas" 2.

Though of course this framing ignores the complexity that had existed among the different groups fighting for their lives again Israel who you know, uses dogs to rape prisoners, have sniper shot children in the head, and have rigged food cans to explode. Sadly though I'm not sure how many different groups exist anymore cause communication has been limited... You know because of the horrible devastation to the point we are not sure if some level of nuclear weapon has been used. Regardless of what has been used it has been hot enough to obliterate the bones of people in the center of the blasts.

You'll have to look elsewhere for someone to baulk at a question like that. I've been paying attention and reposting news on Palestine since it started. It's only the last few months because of my surgery I haven't been able to keep up as much. But from today it seems they are entering a new cycle of settlers taking over the land that was cleared.

The question isn't do you support Hamas. It SHOULD be do you support Israel? If Israel wasn't doing a genocide there would be no Hamas.
