I don't understand the support for Hamas among some on the leftist. Of course, I understand that Israel has oppressed the Palestinians for many years and there is no justification for this, but there is no need to justify the actions of religious fanatics who also kill civilians, especially since Israel itself has aggravated the problem with the Islamists

    It is a shame that pro-palestine sympathisers in the West paint the Palestinians as the "perfect victims," defanged, innocent, and mute creatures, and preferably westernized.

    Hamas is Palestine. They even won the last elections. This may not be “ideal”, but supporting them is critical to the struggle for a free Palestine.
