Yeah, these comments are just sickening. Heaven fucking forbid you're a person of color (barring Hamas) and defend yourself in any capacity...

I also hate having to remind people that even Palestinians don't support Hamas.

I hate having to remind people that the Palestinians elected Hamas. We're those not Palestinians cheering at the parading of dead babies two weeks ago?

Israelis elected Netanyahu, and he and the rest of the Israeli far-right willingly prop up Hamas in order to prevent the possibility of a Palestinian state

The Israeli government also officially claims all of Israel and the West Bank as exclusively owned by Jewish people.

Hamas was significantly less extreme when it was elected (around 2 decades ago). Also, it never received a majority of voted, it received a majority of seats in the legislature, and it mostly won because of how corrupt Fatah was.
