Hamas won a plurality (44%) - not a majority - of the votes in the last elections in 2006. They subsequently launched a coup, sought to purge their political opponents and have ruled the Gaza Strip as a de facto dictatorship ever since. The people of Gaza have spent the last 17 years suffering from the combination of a Hamas dictatorship and a full land, sea and air blockade by the Israeli military.
So to answer your question: Hamas gunmen put Hamas in power.
Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem remain occupied territories under international law since the 1967 Israeli conquests.
Quiet day with people trying to mind their business equals terrorists🤦♂️🙄yeah ok. Do you people even read the shit you write or just going off some nonsense script?
Israel began its occupation in 1947 when the soon-to-be state began ethnically cleansing the lands - removing the Indigenous locals out of their homes and villages. Yes - this sparked the 1948 war, which resulted in even more land being occupied. This issue did not begin with the 1948 war.
Would you hold Israel to the same standard? They invaded the Palestinian territories in 1967, have held them under military occupation for over half a century since and in that time have killed rather a lot more Palestinian civilians than vice versa.
But sensible people do not use that as a pretext to say a blanket ‘fuck Israel’, because it is unhelpful, unconstructive and racist to blame an entire people for war crimes committed by members of their military. But I’m curious if you apply your logic on Palestine to the other side too?

No, fuck Hamas. Love for Palestine.
Innocent civilians are dying on both sides, but long-term it’s always the innocent Palestinian people who suffer most when the nationalists on either side start shooting. The skew in the death toll over the long course of the Israel-Palestine conflict is incredibly one-sided.

44% is more than hitler had…
What a weird attempt at logic.
Strange, but true: Israel created and empowered Hamas.
Oh you come with logic?!? How dare you!

Some people are just hardline pro-Israel no matter what.
You can spot them because they make comments like this. Not an ounce of nuance in their brain because that goes against the tribe.

White people killing brown: 👍
Brown people killing white: 👎
Who killed more innocent people: Israel or Palestine?
Israel is an apartheid state.

Who has ruled over the other with military occupation, routinely unhoused, tortured, killed and terrorized the other for 70+ years?
Who decided they wanted the land and proceeded to ethnically cleanse the towns to make room for their own people?
Don’t turn a blind eye.
Ok and why did Israel have to occupy land? Who declared a war?

You will not get a response. Captain patriot probably just smashed his keyboard into dust.
That’s okay, I’m not trying to get a response! Just trying to make sure people think about this with less bias.
Cheers!

Can’t wait to see your posts about Israel’s retaliation and all the innocents they kill.
You… will post about them, right?
Yes.
