  1. For a couple thousand people that make them up, not hundreds of thousands of civilians

  2. Hamas is a terrorist group. What do they have to do with a sovereign nation starving thousands of people?

hundreds of thousands of civilians

It’s even more absurd! Millions of civilians. Gaza has 2.2 million fucking people, and they’re all fucking starving.

Hamas has an entire humanitarian arm. It’s one of the main reasons they have as much power as they do.

Several countries actually differentiate the separate parts of Hamas as well, recognizing that the humanitarian aid section is separate from the portion that fights instead of lumping everything together as if everything is black and white.

@halcyoncmdr @Silverseren Quite right. Hamas is a political organisation, and recognised as such by many (but not the Zionist supporting West). The Oct 7th attacks were carried out by the military wing of Hamas, not its politicians. I am unsure as to the level of integration between the 2 parts.
