    A fact is that Hamas stopped elections after gaining power. They’re fascists and it’s absurd that the left defends them.

      I would not say “the left” as a whole defends them although there are some small factions that do.

      I feel like you’re trying to gotcha me here but I’m not trying to defend Hamas, just help people understand the real history. False claims demonizing various groups and then generalized to whole ethnicities are a major cause of violence around this issue right now.

      If people understood the real history, they would see that this conflict, like all conflicts has nuance to it and the various actors are all just people, not inhuman demons. This understanding will be key if we want to achieve a lasting peace.
