I hope this post fits the content and format of this community, if not I’m sorry.
I’m just incredibly shocked by the fact that an admin of the instance lemmy.dbzer0.com is openly supporting Hamas.

You can’t honestly believe that Hamas will let the Palestinian people decide their own fate after the past 20 years of no formal democratic election whatsoever.
Palestinians are oppressed by Israel not Hamas.
If Israel were defeated, then the political configuration in Palestine would be transformed, with opportunities opening for different governance.
Hamas is not some magically indefeasible force. It is simply a political faction, and one that Palestinians rightfully perceive as not their enemy. It rose to power through a combination of popular elections and Israel’s meddling into the internal affairs of Palestine. Israel wanted Hamas to emerge as the dominant political faction in Gaza.
Regardless, and I am really at a loss for your failure to acknowledge the worse alternative of being dead.
Palestinians are oppressed by Israel and by Hamas. Those two things can be true and no contradiction. Guess what, Hamas doesn’t care about Palestinians as much as Netanyahu doesn’t care about Israelis. Both are just power hungry right-wing assholes.
Palestinians would be in graver danger without Hamas. They correctly understand that their enemy is not Hamas. If Israel were defeated, then Palestinians would have much more expansive opportunities to develop different political configurations.
Without Hamas gaza wouldn’t be bombed lol

I like the dissonance here. If Israel wanted Hamas to emerge as the dominant political faction, then Hamas mustn’t be very good for the Palestinians then, is it?
