    This is ridiculous take. Hamas existed before the war and have been a terrorist organization for decades.

    Criticize Israel and the handling of the war all you want, that is fair. But this white washing of Hamas as if they weren’t deranged extremists is just ridiculous.

      white washing of Hamas

      What? How do you read this as white-washing Hamas? My comment didn’t claim Hamas was ever virtuous, infact it was entirely silent in text on if hams was good or not. I thought it was part of the subtext, but if it’s not clear: Hamas is bad. The reason Netanyahu chose Hamas as his enemy is because they’re evil and hard to cheer for, which makes the genocide easier.

        That’s also a strange take. He did not choose the ones who arranged the October 7 attack. Same with tons of rockets they built and sent to Israel.

        I guess I misunderstood. I’ve read a lot of comments on here trying to paint Hamas as some good guy under dog.

        Sorry for the confusion.
