    The ideology is relevant because it determines what happens if Hamas “saved Palestine”. They will constitute an Islamic state just like Iran and oppress it’s people.

      If Palestine is freed from the colonizers, then it will have boundless options for its own governance.

      No conclusion is foregone respecting such affairs.

      If the colonizers are not resisted, then Palestinians simply will be dead.

      It should seem clear that you are following the worse path.

        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.

            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?

            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.
