Hamas is a terrorist organization currently engaged in a war with Israel. They are the defacto rulers of the Gaza strip, and most of their members are in Gaza. However, many Hamas leaders live outside of Gaza.
They are listed as a terrorist organization by the US, Canada, UK, the EU, and more.
Their charter declares their goals to be the violent destruction of Israel, the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in the land of Palestine, and killing all Jews worldwide.
Their charter doesnt state that. It was changed in 2017. Their current charter clearly states their conflict isn’t with Jewish people.
“Palestine is a land that was seized by a racist, anti-human and colonial Zionist project that was founded on a false promise (the Balfour Declaration),”
The Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" is a Palestinian Islamic national liberation and resistance movement. Its goal is to liberate Palestine and confront the Zionist project. Its frame of reference is Islam, which determines its principles, objectives and means. “

Netanyahu helped Hamas get their funding so the moderate party in Palestine would get less support

Bruh, how can you say that and not immediately start thinking "maybe i shouldnt"???

The 2017 edit of it is just propaganda. Otherwise they wouldnt keep killing civilians
Because the narrative that Israel is white colonizers oppressing poor brown locals is the predominant American liberal narrative for how power is structured everywhere in the world, even if it is of course never that simple.
Found the Hamas propagandist.
Not hard to see how we are clearly taking sides in this conflict. Sickening.
Palestine and Israel are both awful to each other, and here we pretend to make Israel the good guys and Palestine the bad. As if that's even possible to say which is worse.
