You think religion wasn't being used by Hamas to justify Oct 7?

Not an any practical level.

It certainly hasn't been weaponized by them to deflect criticism of their actions by international observers, like Israel has been doing.

I haven't really seen any accusations that being anti-Hamas (the political entity) is Islamophobic, only that being anti-Palestinian (the people) is, which is true.

Contrast that to Israel and its supporters very openly pushing the narrative that being anti-Israel (the political entity) is antisemitic, not just being anti-Israeli (the people).
