Palestinian civilians are between a rock and a hard place. I doubt they voted for Hamas. Hamas win was already in the bag even before the polling booths opened! also Maths doesn't add up? 44.45% of 132 seats is 58? Rigged!
I reckon, majority just wants to live in freedom, peace and security
No doubt there is Jew-hatred-- by the radicalized, the censorship, manipulation and dissemination of information -- facts, arguments, rumors, half-truths or lies, propaganda constantly being fed by the terrorists and antisemitism
I too reckon, majority just wants to live in freedom, peace and security without being ruled by terror
I reckon, the cheering and support of Hamas is so choreographed at gun point Every step is planned and controlled. Civilians herded in like cattle to do exactly as instructed or Else
What choice do the innocent Palestinian civilians have? Hamas blends in among them, builds tunnels and command posts in mosques, hospitals and schools, and use them as human shields. Houses Israeli hostages in their homes
How have Hamas gotten to them? October 7, brutal atrocities on Israeli soil. Israel slippin'

including in the hostage rescue. There is a moral obligation to protect all civilian lives
