    Hamas as an organization doesn’t represent the Palestine people as whole, and an individual Hamas fighter even less so.

    While your typical Palestine farmer might not be too fond of all the killing and murdering done by Hamas terrorists, atleast they’re killing and murdering the people they perceive to be most at fault for the situation they’re living in. Nobody can say, with a straight face, that there’s not atleast a kernel of truth behind that belief.

    Still - indiscriminately killing innocent civilians is not the way.

        She explicitly said she wasn’t. She was talking about the civilians recording the Israeli retaliation attacks.

        Most videos I’ve seen have either been recorded by civilians or IDF. I’ve only seen few from Hamas’ point of view.

      I thought Hamas was the democratically elected government of those people?

        In Gaza yeah. Not on the west bank which is the bulk of Palestine. If I remember correctly those elections were like 17 years ago and they got around 45% of the vote

          Oh! I heard they were democratically elected, I guess I just assumed it was part of a functioning democracy. No elections for seventeen years isn’t a functioning democracy though.
