They took over by winning the election. And they repudiated further elections because the response wasn't an attempt to work with a clearly moderated Hamas in a post war setting, but to blockade them and conduct assassinations and air strikes. When Israel demonstrates a clear physical veto on Palestinian elections then any election result is moot. You want to paint them as bloodthirsty warlords but that just ain't the story. As for controlling aid, so does every other government in the world.

You may want to look up what Hamas did to the opposition party, but I doubt you'll be swayed, because what you believe is pure propaganda.

I cannot believe you can excuse terrorism in your mind so easily. Support for Palestinians in no way implies you need to support Hamas.

But are you willing to condemn Israel for its genocide?

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

If they were committing genocide, sure.

[-] okamiueru@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

No. Not if. Do you condemn Israel for its very real and ongoing genocide, including acts of state sponsored terrorism?

Do you condemn Israel for its very real and ongoing genocide

If this were real, sure

But there will be Gazans in 2025, 2030, etc. ideally in their own state.
